Black Beauty features several AudioQuest design elements that work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise. These include: Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, 0.5% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs.

  • 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.
  • Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Foamed-PE, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
  • Level 6 Noise-Dissipation: Radio-Frequency Noise from cellular, WiFi, and satellites is everywhere. AQs 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.
  • Exceptional Audio Connectivity: The AudioQuest Black Beauty XLR > XLR interconnect cable is designed to connect professional audio equipment seamlessly, offering exceptional signal purity for audio enthusiasts and professionals alike. It minimizes distortion and reduces radio-frequency noise, enhancing home and studio audio experiences.
  • Enhanced Home Audio Performance: With state-of-the-art materials like Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, Black Beauty significantly reduces RF noise, enriching the audio clarity and dynamics in your home audio system. Whether streaming music or playing vinyl, enjoy a cleaner, more vibrant sound.

Q: Which technical features of the AudioQuest Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable contribute to reducing distortion and minimizing radio-frequency noise?

A: The AudioQuest Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable features several design elements that contribute to reducingdistortion and minimizing radio-frequency noise. These include: Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+(PSC+) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, 0.5% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, andHanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs.

Q: Is black the only color option available for the 1.0M PR Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable?

A: Yes, black is the only color option available for the 1.0M PR Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable.

Q: How do the direction-controlled solid perfect-surface copper+ (PSC+) conductors, carbon/graphene mesh-network, and 0.5% silver-plated RF drain-wires benefit the performance of the Black Beauty XLR cable?

A: The direction-controlled solid perfect-surface copper+ (PSC+) conductors, carbon/graphene mesh-network, and 0.5% silver-plated RF drain-wires in the Black Beauty XLR cable work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise. These features contribute to the cable's overall performance by ensuring a clear and accurate signaltransfer.

Q: What are the advantages of the hanging-silver over red-copper plugs used in the Black Beauty XLR cable?

A: The Black Beauty XLR cable uses hanging-silver over red-copper plugs to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipateradio-frequency noise. This design element helps to improve the overall sound quality of the cable.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of the plugs for the Black Beauty XLR cable?

A: The plugs for the Black Beauty XLR cable are made of copper with a silver plating. The plugs also feature a hanging-silver over red-copper design.

Q: How does the 3.3 feet length of the Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable impact its suitability for different audio setups and connection needs?

A: The 3.3-foot length of the Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable makes it suitable for connecting components in closeproximity, such as a preamplifier and power amplifier in a home theater setup. However, it may be too short for longerruns, such as connecting a turntable to a phono preamplifier located across the room.

Q: Can the 1.0M PR Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable be used for other audio applications besides connecting professional microphones and mixing consoles?

A: The 1.0M PR Black Beauty Interconnect XLR cable is designed for professional audio applications, such as connectingmicrophones and mixing consoles. However, it can also be used for other audio applications where high-quality audio isrequired. The cable's features, such as its direction-controlled conductors and carbon/graphene mesh-network, help toreduce distortion and noise, making it suitable for a variety of audio applications.

Q: What is the significance of the limited lifetime warranty provided by AudioQuest for both labor and parts on the Black Beauty XLR cable?

A: The limited lifetime warranty provided by AudioQuest for both labor and parts on the Black Beauty XLR cable signifiesthat AudioQuest will repair or replace the cable, free of charge, if it fails due to a defect in materials orworkmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the cable. This warranty covers all components of the cable,including the conductors, connectors, and insulation.
