Conductor metal quality is critical for the best cable performance. The
conductor surface is the only area of the conductor with 100% current density at
all frequencies. The smoothness of the conductor surface is imperative because
the surface is a guide rail for the entire energy envelope. The best copper and
silver conductor metals have fewer grain boundaries and low oxygen content for
low distortion and high performance.
Solid conductors eliminate
strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors
are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a
high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As
the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that
of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is
an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality subwoofer
cables.
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation :
Insulation is necessary to
keep the positive and negative conductors separate and to give stability to
cable geometry. Insulation is also a "dielectric" because it is inside the
conductor's magnetic field. Dielectrics absorb energy, which after a delay is
then released in the signal, causing smearing and distortion. Better insulation
reduces distortion by absorbing less energy.
Greyhound 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.
AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation
System (NDS) offers a compelling solution to this challenge by using metal-only
or alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics to effectively
“shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
before it reaches the layer attached to the ground.
Greyhound ultilises
the Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent most RFI from reaching
the equipment’s ground plane.
Hyperlitz Coax Geometry :
Geometry is
the physical relationship of the conductors to one another within a cable and
determines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance).
Different cable applications have different/specialized geometry requirements,
and so these applications do not merely follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Better geometry leads to lower levels of distortion.
In Greyhound, a
perfect circle of eight negative conductors spiral around a single larger
positive conductor, creating a cable with a large cross-sectional area,
minimizing skin effect, and providing low resistance.
Directionality
:
AudioQuest’s understanding of conductor directionality and its effect on
audio performance has steadily evolved, growing stronger and more complete. All
audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by the arrows
on the plugs or cable parts.
