The AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR-to-XLR analog audio cable pair offers balanced audio connectivity between source components and amplifiers or receivers. With a length of 1.5 meters, this cable features solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors that minimize distortion by reducing grain boundary effects and maximizing linear high-frequency noise dissipation. The conductors utilize direction-controlled technology, optimizing the grain lattice structure alignment to divert noise from critical signal paths, with arrow markings on the connectors indicating the correct installation direction. Foam polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts in audio signals while maintaining signal integrity. A carbon mesh network noise dissipation system uses alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetic materials to absorb and reflect high-frequency interference before it reaches the grounding layer, preventing ground plane modulation that can cause signal distortion. This three-layer noise dissipation approach shields the shielding itself and addresses the limitations of traditional shielding systems that divert noise to component grounding. The cable construction focuses on preserving signal purity through controlled impedance characteristics and optimized conductor geometry. The balanced XLR connection design supports professional audio applications where noise suppression and signal integrity are prioritized. The solid conductor construction prevents strand interaction effects that can occur in multi-strand designs, contributing to consistent electrical performance across the entire audio frequency spectrum. This cable pair is designed for integration into high-quality audio systems, where reliable signal transmission between components is essential for accurate sound reproduction.
