Connect audio source components to amplifiers and receivers with this AudioQuest Sydney analog-audio RCA cable, meticulously designed for exceptional performance and outstanding value. It features superior materials, time-tested design elements, and world-class construction to deliver best-in-class audio quality. High-purity Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors minimize distortion, Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Carbon-Based shield efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise. The result is cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music. Sydney is also available with 3.5mm and DIN terminations.
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. Solid PSC+ Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. The result is clearer, cleaner, more naturally beautiful sound.
While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two, providing a relatively lower impedance on the ground for cleaner, quieter performance.
AudioQuests Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.
Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. The result is clearer, more coherent sound.
Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound, using no underlying layer of distortion-causing nickel, while the highly effective cold-weld process avoids sound-degrading solder.
