Unlike RCA connectors, XLR connectors are balanced and provide superior noise rejection, making them ideal for high-end setups. These cables feature advanced materials, such as high-purity conductors and shielding, to ensure the highest sound quality and minimize interference. They are sought after by audio enthusiasts for their ability to deliver pristine audio signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"audioquest-yukon-interconnect-cable-3-0-meter-xlr-to-xlr-pair","title":"AudioQuest Yukon Interconnect Cable - 3.0 Meter - XLR to XLR - Pair","description":"\u003ch3\u003eGet a 'Big River' of Sound with Yukon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eGet a 'big river' of sound with AudioQuest Yukon interconnect.

The longer I listened, the more I appreciated the Yukon.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"A Very Open, Airy, and Refined Sound\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"The Yukon is a very natural sounding cable that manages to combine a very open, airy, and refined sound with a total absence of hardness,\" observes Christiaan Punter, \u003cem\u003ehifi-advice.com\u003c\/em\u003e, December 9, 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"It’s a very nicely finished cable that’s not too heavy and very flexible.

Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFor over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Mackenzie's conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Yukon's very clean sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePolyethylene Air-Tube Insulation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. All of Yukon's conductors use PE Air-Tube Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE Air-Tube Insulation causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTriple-Balanced Geometry\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe three conductors in \"Triple-Balanced\" Yukon cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCold-Welded Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple Copper Plugs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
