Audioquest MacKenzie XLR / XLR 2.0 meters
Analogue audio connection cable
All Bridges & Falls models feature higher quality metals and more sophisticated technologies, such as Air Tube Insulation, Dielectric Bias System and Noise Dissipation System, at lower prices than ever before.
SINGLE WIRE CONDUCTORS MADE OF PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+)
Solid conductors prevent the electrical and magnetic mutual influence of the individual strands. PSC+ Solid-Copper reduces distortion due to the presence of grain boundaries and enables maximum linear high-frequency noise dissipation.
THREE-LAYER CARBON-BASED NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS).
Achieving 100 percent shielding is easy. To prevent “trapped” radio frequency (RF) interference from affecting the device’s ground reference, the AQ Noise Dissipation System (NDS) is required. Conventional shielding absorbs noise/RF energy and then dissipates it to component ground; this modifies and distorts the critical ground reference area, which in turn distorts the signal. The NDS “shields the shield” by absorbing and reflecting most of the noise/RF energy before it reaches the ground-connected layer.
TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY (SEPARATE GROUND CONDUCTOR)
Our Triple Balanced geometry uses separate ground conductors so that the cable’s shielding does not act as an inferior conductor. Regardless of whether it is assembled with RCA or XLR connectors, the three conductors of the cable ensure that equally high-quality, low-distortion signal paths are available to the positive and negative signals.

HARD CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-cell foam (HCF) maintains the critical conductor geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor becomes part of an incomplete electrical network. Cable insulation and circuit board material absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard cell foam insulation behaves similarly to the PE foam used in cheaper Bridges & Falls cables and contains nitrogen injections that create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. Additionally, the rigidity of the material ensures that the cable conductors do not change position relative to each other over the entire cable length, creating a stable impedance character and further reducing distortion.
