About the AudioQuest Evergreen

James Ralston
AudioQuest believes good cable design is all about damage control. In AQ's view, the perfect cable would be one that adds nothing — no noise, no distortion — to the original signal. Even AudioQuest's affordable Evergreen cables embody this philosophy. They bring together some of AQ's most advanced designs and materials, for excellent sound quality from a single joined cable that's relatively thin and lightweight.

Even AudioQuest's affordable Evergreen cables embody this philosophy. They bring together some of AQ's most advanced designs and materials, for excellent sound quality from a single joined cable that's relatively thin and lightweight.

Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors

One of the most important materials that goes into an audio cable is the metal used for its conductors — the parts of the cable that actually carry the signal. Unlike lesser cables, AudioQuest's Evergreen features conductors made from solid Long-Grain Copper rather than stranded metal, for improved performance and better transparency.

Advanced cable geometry

While many cables use a single path for both the ground and shield, AudioQuest uses a design they call "double-balanced asymmetrical geometry." This design separates the ground and shield paths for clean, quiet performance.

Cold-welded, gold-plated connectors

All the details of the cable's construction are well thought-out. For instance, the Evergreen's connectors are cold-welded, rather than soldered, which eliminates a common source of distortion found in many other audio cables.

This cable is equipped with dual RCA connectors at each end. Mini-to-mini and mini-to-RCA versions are also available.

Features

Evergreen Series Stereo RCA Cable: The AudioQuest Evergreen stereo RCA cable is terminated by a gold-plated male stereo RCA connectors on each end. The AudioQuest Evergreen stereo RCA cable is available in the following lengths.

  • 0.6 meter (2')
  • 1 meter (3' 4")
  • 2 meter (6' 7")
  • 3 meter (10')
  • 5 meter (16' 5")
  • 8 meter (26' 3")
  • 12 meter (39' 5")

Solid Long-Grain Copper Conductors (LGC): Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Evergreen's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.

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 (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Evergreen uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy; preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane.

Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry: Purposely designed for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.

Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Plugs: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion.

Directional: Arrows on the connectors indicate the preferred signal path from the source component to the input.

Q
Are these the type of cables used to connect an avr receiver like the Denon avr x4300 to a separate amp, like an emotiva amp?

As Kevin has stated; much depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly by phone or through our online chat service: https://www.crutchfield.com/support/ContactUs.aspx

It would depend on what you are trying to do. Listening to music on a two-channel system or multi-channel home theater. I would need to know what you plan on doing with this set up. Thx.
kevin  Apr 02, 2018
Q
I have the Audioengine 5+ with DAC system...would the AudioQuest Evergreen cables significantly improve my system over the stock RCA cable out of the box. Will I get better sound? Or should I go for an even better cable?

Thanks for your question. For information on comparing two or more models I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget.
kristina  Apr 16, 2014 (Staff)
Q
Can I use this to connect center channel pre-out to an external amp? That will require me to use only one connector on each end and leave the other not connected.
allendsup23  Feb 13, 2024

Greetings Prashant. Thank you for your question. Yes it can. You dont have to use both sides of an RCA cable, and dedicated center channel RCA cables can get a bit pricy.
hogan  Feb 13, 2024 (Staff)
Q
I'm wanting to use these cables to connect a phono preamp to my receiver. Which way should the arrow point? Should the current flow arrow point from the receiver to the pre amp or the other way?
charles  Jan 29, 2021
3 answers
A
arrows should point in the direction of the signal flow, which is out of the preamp and into the receiver.
douglas  Jan 31, 2021
A
Flow of the audio. From the phono to the the amp
kevin  Jan 30, 2021
A
The arrows show the signal path. The signal flows from the source (phono preamp, CD player, etc.) to the amp/receiver.
bryan  Jan 29, 2021
Q
Why does the signal flow direction make a difference? Are the cables inside really configured in a way that it makes a difference?

It doesn't make any difference!

A
no just 2 per end
mike  Jul 05, 2022
A
No just two left and right
william  May 01, 2020
A
No, they have standard Left and Right RCA connectors on each end.
gary  May 01, 2020
Q
Do these cables have ground connections for my turntable?
david  Feb 20, 2019
2 answers
A
No, you need a separate grounding connection.
mike  Jul 05, 2022
A
These are simply straight RCA-to-RCA stereo connectors -- no separate grounding wire.
keith allen  Feb 20, 2019
Q
I'm using this audio cable to connect my home network player to an external amp. The arrow direction would be from the network player to amp? To be sure is this corrrect?
mark  Apr 27, 2016
3 answers
A
Yes. The arrow should correspond with the signal flow.
joseph  Apr 28, 2016
A
Yes, correct it is direction of signal flow.
raymond  Apr 28, 2016
A
Yes, the RCA output from your network player should be connected to one of the RCA audio inputs to your amp (CD, Aux, etc).
