AudioQuest Forest Coax 0.75 M

Digital Coax - Forest
Most visibly, speed is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio "speed" is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small & flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy.

Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors
Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. The surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable.

Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. 'Hard' foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

100% Shield Coverage (Foil + Tinned Braid)
The shield on coax interconnect plays an especially important role because it functions not only as a shield but also a return path. AudioQuest pays special attention to the shield's metal quality and the fabrication techniques as both will affect the sound and the picture.

Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane.
