AudioQuest Pegasus XTRM RCA Audio Interconnect Cable (0.6m (2.0'))
- ZERO-Tech (No Characteristic Impedance): The only way to prevent characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a cable and its attached source and load circuits is for the cable not to have a characteristic-impedance. ZERO-Tech accomplishes this by eliminating any electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors. Also, RF Noise-Dissipation is more effective and linear (consistent octave to octave).
- Solid No-Grain Copper (NG-C) Conductors: Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion. Extreme-purity No-Grain Copper dramatically minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes RF Noise-Dissipation.
- RF Noise-Dissipation: The Earth is permeated with RF-Noise from satellites, cellular, WiFi, etc. Graphene+Carbon Mesh-Network, ZERO-Tech, Direction-Controlled metal, 72v DBS, and Silver-Plated RF drain wires effectively minimize damaging RF-Noise.
- 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with RF Noise-Trap: Insulation is also a dielectric that acts like a shunt-filter. Biasing the dielectric both minimizes dielectric-noise and linearizes the filter, significantly improving wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced noise.
- Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation: Positive conductors benefit from almost no contact between metal and its PP insulation, which is notable for its superior dielectric constant and minimal signal interference. Negative conductors benefit from intentionally “lossy insulation” — no air and no PP helps maximize the negative connection’s different job.
- Copper-Plated Casings over Hanging-Silver-Plated Red-Copper Plugs: Low-noise plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver (not tumbled) directly over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure optimal signal transfer. Copper-Plated RF-Draining barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing RF from capacitively coupling to the conductors.
- Direction-Controlled Metal: All drawn metal has a directional grain structure. AQ controls the resulting variation in induced RF conductivity to facilitate RF Noise-Dissipation. Please be sure to use cables with arrows pointing in direction of signal flow.

- Cables - Metal > Perfect-Surface Copper+ employs AudioQuest's exceptionally refined Perfect-Surface process, but uses an even higher-grade, better-sounding copper.
- Cables - Noise Dissipation > Alternating layers of graphene, carbon-loaded synthetics, and metal "shield the shield," minimizing RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
- Cables - Noise Dissipation > A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest’s multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained in the direction of least harm.
- Cables - Geometry > ZERO-Tech eliminates the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors, enabling linear Radio Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients.
- Cables - Insulation > Positive conductors benefit from almost no contact between metal and its Polypropylene (PP) insulation, which is notable for its superior dielectric constant and minimal signal interference. Negative conductors benefit from intentionally “lossy insulation” — no air and no PP helps maximize the negative connection’s different job.

Noise-Dissipation Graphene/Carbon Mesh-Network + 72v DBS Color Silver Short Description Pegasus XTRM ZERO-Tech interconnect, available with RCA or XLR plugs, combines a wide array of tried-and-true AudioQuest design elements with our latest and most sophisticated refinement in conductor metal and dielectric material. The result is lower distortion, improved frequency extension, increased soundstage scale, and pinpoint imaging for overall performance that rivals our previous flagship models — at nearly one-third their price.
