The AudioQuest Big Sur 3.5mm to RCA interconnect cable is meticulously designed to connect a wide range of audio devices, delivering superior sound quality and exceptional durability. Whether you're linking portable devices to home audio systems or enhancing your existing setup, this cable ensures a seamless and high-fidelity audio experience.
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
At the core of the Big Sur cable are its Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. These high-purity copper conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries, resulting in clearer and more natural sound reproduction. The use of solid conductors also prevents electrical and magnetic strand-interaction, a common source of distortion in stranded cables.
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
To preserve the integrity of the audio signal, the Big Sur cable utilizes foamed-polyethylene insulation. This material has a high air content, which minimizes energy absorption and reduces signal loss. The result is improved clarity and preservation of dynamic contrasts in your audio.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System
In today's environment, radio-frequency interference (RFI) can significantly impact audio quality. The Big Sur cable addresses this issue with its metal-layer noise-dissipation system, which effectively absorbs and reflects most RFI before it reaches the ground plane. This ensures a cleaner and more detailed sound by preventing captured RFI from modulating the equipment's ground reference.
Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Purple Copper Terminations
The cable features cold-welded, gold-plated terminations made from pure purple copper. This design choice eliminates the use of solder, which can introduce distortion, thereby ensuring a more reliable and high-quality connection between your audio components.
Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry
The Big Sur cable employs an asymmetrical double-balanced geometry, which separates the ground and shield. This design minimizes noise and ensures that the conductors are used for signal and ground, providing a more accurate and dynamic audio performance.
Durable and Flexible Design
Beyond its internal features, the Big Sur cable boasts a durable and flexible design, making it easy to install in various setups without compromising its structural integrity. The brown-on-black nylon braid jacket not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances its durability.
