Audio · quest basics

In addition to the breakthrough technologies of Audio Quest such as dielectric bias system (DBS), noise disintegration (dissipation) system, cold weld (cold welding) system, the latest lineup of audio quests includes 30

Over the years, core technologies that audio quests could pioneer in high-end audio cable makers have accumulated over the years.

Solid Core Conductor / Conductor

The interaction of twist (more) wires, which is widely used by most cable makers, is the biggest cause of distortion in cables, but is also the easiest to prevent.

When the current passes through the oxidized contact point between bare strands, the signal is disturbed.

In addition, the magnetic fields of the various twisted wires always interact with each other, causing disturbance and constantly modulating the contact pressure between the twisted wires.

The solid core (single wire) conductor used in all products of Audio Quest can completely solve these problems.

Cable placement / geometry

This refers to the relationship between conductors of the same polarity and conductors of opposite polarity (+ and -).

If this relationship is not stable, the electrical parameters (such as capacitance and inductance) of the cable will change constantly and the signal will be distorted.

The conductors may be parallel, spiral (twisted) or knitted, but these various arrangements have their own unique features.

The parallel structure is inexpensive, the spiral structure can eliminate RF (I radio wave interference), usually lower inductance.

The braided shape eliminates radio interference and has low inductance, but it suffers from constant changes in the electrical environment of each conductor.

When plus and minus are made too tight, the capacitance becomes high.

Also, knitted objects cause magnetic confusion.

It is important to correctly arrange cables.

Insulation / Insulation In cables handling small signals, the electrical behavior of the dielectric (insulating material) is particularly important.

For cables handling small signals, the action of the dielectric (energy absorption and release of specific materials) is the main cause of distortion.

Dielectric constant is often referred to as a characteristic of insulating material, but it is not very useful for understanding how sound characteristics change due to different materials.

Rather than that, the coefficient of absorption value is more important, dissipation factor and propagation speed are even more useful.

Air is the ideal "insulating material".

Therefore, the best cable should contain as much air as possible.

Solid insulating materials will inevitably affect the signal, so ones based on the nature of the distortion, those without distinguishable distortion characteristics are best chosen.
