The AudioQuest Pegasus RCA features several AudioQuest design elements that work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise.
Pegasus RCA 1m
£1,569
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid
conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+
Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and
maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.
Level 6 Noise-Dissipation: ZERO-Tech + Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network + Direction-Controlled
Radio-Frequency
Noise from cellular, WiFi, and satellites is everywhere. AQ’s Level 6
Linear Noise-Dissipation includes a carbon & graphene resistive
mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors, and Silver-Plated drain
wires, significantly minimizing RF Noise masking effects.
ZERO-Tech (No Characteristic Impedance) for Linear, Wide-Bandwidth Noise-Dissipation
The
only way to avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a
cable and its attached source and load circuits is to prevent the cable
from having a characteristic-impedance. ZERO-Tech succeeds by
eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low
signal conductors, enabling linear (consistent octave to octave)
Radio-Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients. In
order to preserve ZERO-Tech’s complete isolation between signal
conductors, a Dual-72v DBS pack is included for Pegasus, ThunderBird,
FireBird, and Dragon XLR cables.
72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)
Insulation
is also a dielectric that can act like a shunt-filter. Biasing
minimizes dielectric-noise and linearizes the filter, significantly
improving wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced RF noise.
Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation
Any
solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect
circuit and will absorb energy, some of which is stored and then
released as distortion. For designs that require minimal diameter,
AudioQuest uses Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation. Because air absorbs
next to no energy and Polypropylene is low-loss and has a benign
distortion profile, Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air
content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other
materials.
6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires
Direction-Controlled
Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires further ensure the proper and efficient
dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise for clearer, more natural
sound.
Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels
Grounded
Copper-Plated Barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing a metal
barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors.
Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs
AudioQuest’s
finest plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver (not tumbled) directly
over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure uncompromised signal transfer.
Available in sizes from 0.5m to 6m. Please call for your requirements.
