AudioQuest - Pegasus - XLR Balanced Interconnect Cables (Pair)

AudioQuest's Pegasus brings the proven advantages of Zero-Tech to a much wider audience.

Pegasus features Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs. In addition, to further reduce distortion and dissipate radio-frequency noise, Pegasus increases the silver content of its RF Drain-Wires from 0.5% to 6%.

Radio-Frequency Noise from cellular, WiFi, and satellites is everywhere. AudioQuest’s Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation includes a carbon & graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors, 72v DBS, and Silver-Plated drain wires, significantly minimizing RF Noise masking effects.

The only way to avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a cable and its attached source and load circuits is to prevent the cable from having a characteristic-impedance. Zero-Tech succeeds by eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors, enabling linear Radio-Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients. In order to preserve Zero-Tech’s complete isolation between signal conductors, a Dual-72v DBS pack is included for XLR cables.

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit and will absorb energy, some of which is stored and then released as distortion. For designs that require minimal diameter, AudioQuest uses Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polypropylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

Direction-Controlled Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires further ensure the proper and efficient dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise for clearer, more natural sound. Grounded Copper-Plated Barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing a metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors. AudioQuest’s finest plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver directly over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure uncompromised signal transfer.
