AudioQuest Angel RCA: AudioQuest's Angel RCA cable is meticulously designed with Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors to minimize distortion, FEP Air-Tube insulation to preserve dynamic contrasts, and Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation to efficiently dissipate high-frequency noise for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music reproduction.

Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction, while Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation: It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage, but preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield-the-shield", absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap, ensures that radio-frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

FEP Air-Tube Insulation: Positive conductors benefit from almost no contact between metal and its FEP insulation, which is notable for its superior dielectric constant and minimal signal interference. Negative conductors benefit from intentionally "lossy insulation" with no air and no FEP to help maximize the negative connection's different job.

Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry: Purpose designed for single-ended RCA applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended RCA 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, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Red Copper Terminations: 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.
