Audioquest Yosemite 3,5mm/3,5mm 0,6m male

The Yosemite Valley, located in the middle of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, is world-famous for its beauty, for the work of naturalist John Muir to preserve the valley and for Ansel Adams 'impressive black and white photographs (' Yosemite and the Range of Light '). Much like other fjord-like valleys formed by glaciers, such as the famous fjords of Norway, the Yosemite Valley is flanked on both sides by magnificent waterfalls. Giant sequoias, the largest trees in the world, help make Yosemite the most beautiful of all national parks in the USA.

MASSIVE PERFECT SURFACE COPPER + LADDER (PSC +)

Perfect-Surface-Copper + has a surprisingly smooth and pure surface. The company's proprietary metalworking technology protects the surface of the wire at every step of the drawing and manufacturing process. When high purity, low oxygen copper is obtained as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it turns into a wonderfully low distortion PSC + conductor. PSC + is made using the same exceptional technology as ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and unobtrusive. AudioQuest has pioneered the use of high quality metals for more than 30 years; but even we were surprised at the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect Surface technology. With its performance, PSC + surpasses all previously available copper metals at every price level. All of the leaders in Yosemite are massive. The mutual electrical and magnetic influence of the strands in conventional cable structures is the greatest source of interference and often causes an 'impure', 'rough' sound. Solid conductors are the basic foundation for the pure sound of the Yosemite.

FEP-AIR-TUBE-INSULATION (FEP is a fluoropolymer)

Any massive material adjacent to a conductor becomes part of an incomplete electrical network. Wire insulation and circuit board material absorb energy (losses). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. The Yosemite uses Air-Tube insulation for all conductors because air absorbs almost no energy and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP air tubes used in the Yosemite consist of almost nothing other than air around the massive PSC + conductors.

DIELECTRIC BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1)

Any insulation will slow down the signal on the conductor inside. If there is no voltage across the isolation, it will slow down individual parts of the signal to varying degrees - a major problem with very time-critical broadband audio. AudioQuest DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field that saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This reduces both the energy stored in the insulation and the various non-linear time delays to a minimum. The sound is created against a surprisingly black background with an unexpected richness of detail and expanded dynamics. The DBS batteries last for several years. A button with an LED display enables the occasional test of the battery charge level.

CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS) Achieving 100 percent shielding is easy. The AQ noise dissipation system is required to prevent 'captured' HF interference from influencing the device's ground reference. Metal and carbon-containing plastics prevent most of the RF interference from reaching the device's ground plane.

DOUBLE-BALANCED ASYMMETRICAL GEOMETRY

Specially developed for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry offers less impedance on the ground for a fuller, more dynamic sound result. While many single-ended cables use a single path for both ground and shielding, double-balanced designs separate the two for a cleaner, quieter performance.

COLD WELDED DIRECT SILVER PLATED PURE 'RED COPPER' RCA CONNECTORS

This connector structure allows the connection without solder - because this is a common source of interference. Because the end sleeves are stamped rather than machined, the metal can be selected for low distortion rather than machinability. Red-Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than nickel-plated or OFHC metals, which are often found in competitive plugs. The direct silver plating is another important step towards greater clarity without compromising the signal.
