Product Details
AudioQuest MACKENZIE1MXLRSINGLE 3.3 Feet Mackenzie XLR Interconnect Cable
Originally named Disappointment for dashing Alexander Mackenzie's hope
that it would lead to the Pacific rather than the Arctic Ocean, the Mackenzie
River is Canada's largest, longest river system. Traversing 2,635 miles,
it flows through a vast network of lakes, boreal forests and arctic tundra.
Mackenzie's many tributaries cover portions of three provinces—British
Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan—and two territories, Yukon and the
Northwest Territories. Known as "The Amazon of the North," Mackenzie's
sparsely populated basin remains one of the great unspoiled natural areas in
the world.
Features
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary
metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage
of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft,
pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+
conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology
to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused
and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the
use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance
made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all
previously available copper metals at any price. All of Mackenzie's conductors
are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional
cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty,
harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Mackenzie's
very clean sound
Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of
AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it
is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. 'Hard' foam is used
because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to
maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the
cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent
Carbon-Based 3-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. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching
the equipment's ground plane
Triple-Balanced Geometry
The three conductors in "Triple-Balanced" Mackenzie cables ensure
that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals
have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is
never used as an inferior conductor
Cold-Welded Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple Copper 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 instead of machinability. Purple
Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than the nickel-plated or OFHC metals
commonly found in competing manufacturers' plugs
