AudioQuest Mackenzie Interconnect Cable

The Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors feature an ultra-smooth surface that minimizes graininess and distortion. This results in a cleaner, more detailed sound compared to standard copper cables.

This design uses separate paths for the positive and negative signals, as well as a dedicated ground path. It ensures that the signal remains clean and low-distortion, which is particularly beneficial for balanced XLR connections.

Solder can act as an impurity that disrupts the signal path. Cold-welding creates a permanent, high-pressure connection between the cable and the plug, ensuring a cleaner signal transfer without the distortion introduced by solder.

This system uses layers of carbon-loaded synthetic materials to absorb radio-frequency interference before it reaches your equipment. By preventing this noise from entering the signal path, it helps maintain a quieter, more transparent background.

Yes, the construction of this cable is designed to improve transient response. You should hear tighter, more agile bass and a more dynamic overall sound compared to entry-level interconnects.

At 3.0 meters, this cable is well-suited for connecting components that are not immediately adjacent. The Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation ensures that the cable maintains consistent impedance over this length, preserving signal integrity.
