AudioQuest Golden Gate 3.5mm Mini > RCA

Audio Interconnect Cable

Connect a wide range of audio electronics with this AudioQuest Golden Gate 3.5mm Mini > 2-Male RCA analog interconnect, meticulously designed for outstanding flexibility and versatility. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

To an even greater extent than LGC, higher-purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation shields noise effectively, absorbing and reflecting most RFI before it reaches the ground layer.

Foamed-Polyethylene's high air content minimizes energy absorption for clearer sound.

All internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.

Detailed Technology Explanation

Since the beginning, AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals, yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance attained through the astonishingly smooth and pure surface of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). 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 conductor. In a conventional cable, electrical and magnetic interaction between strands is one of the greatest sources of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving a very clean, natural sound.

• Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors: Ensure minimal interference with the audio signal. Solid-core conductors eliminate strand interaction to reduce distortion.
• Gold-plated RCA plugs: Provide efficient signal transfer.
• Cold-welded terminations: Eliminate sonic damage typically caused by heat and solder.
• Foamed PE insulation: Reduces timing errors and soundstage smearing for crystal-clear audio.
