CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)
It"s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment"s ground reference requires AQ"s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS"s alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable"s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable"s full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

SOLID 5% SILVER CONDUCTORS
Solid conductors minimize the harmful effects of both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction. For digital cables, whose signals are of such high frequency that they travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor, increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to further improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable.

ALL CONDUCTORS CONTROLLED FOR RF NOISE DIRECTIONALITY

碳基三層降噪系統 (NDS)
很容易實現 100% 的護盾覆蓋率。防止捕獲的射頻幹擾 (RFI) 調變設備的接地參考需要 AQ 的雜訊耗散系統 (NDS)。傳統的屏蔽系統通常會吸收雜訊/射頻能量，然後將雜訊/射頻能量排出到組件接地，從而調製和扭曲關鍵的「參考」接地平面，進而導致訊號失真。NDS 的金屬和碳負載合成材料的交替層“屏蔽屏蔽”，在大部分噪聲/射頻能量到達接地層之前吸收和反射大部分噪聲/射頻能量。

硬質泡沫絕緣材料
硬質泡沫 (HCF) 絕緣可確保關鍵的訊號對幾何形狀。任何與導體相鄰的固體材料實際上都是不完美電路的一部分。電線絕緣層和電路板材料都會吸收能量。其中一些能量被儲存起來，然後以扭曲的形式釋放出來。硬質泡沫絕緣材料與我們更實惠的 Bridges & Falls 電纜中使用的泡沫 PE 類似，並且注入氮氣以形成氣穴。由於氮氣（如空氣）不會吸收能量，因此不會從導體釋放任何能量或嚮導體釋放任何能量，因此減少了失真。此外，材料的剛度允許電纜的導體在電纜的整個長度上保持穩定的關係，產生穩定的阻抗特性並進一步最大限度地減少失真。

5% 實心銀導體
實心導體可最大限度地減少線與線之間的電和磁相互作用的有害影響。對於數位電纜來說，其訊號頻率非常高，幾乎完全在導體表面傳播，因此在 AudioQuest 的長粒銅 (LGC) 導體上鍍上越來越厚的銀層，以進一步改善雜訊耗散。將優質金屬放置在導體的外部可以對整體性能產生最大的好處，這是一種最大化數位電纜的極具成本效益的方法。

所有導體均受射頻雜訊方向性控制

In 1982 Sony gave us "Perfect sound forever," along with the attitude that, "it"s just digital, so all CD players sound the same." That was disproved and qualitative differences between players became accepted truth. Next came separate transport and DAC combos, which brought with it the attitude that "all S/PDIF digital audio cables sound the same..." until that too became disproved. Now the frontier has moved once again. Is digital audio really just ones and zeros? We don"t believe so, and once you"ve had a chance to listen to Carbon USB, you won"t think so either..

1982 年，索尼給了我們“永遠的完美聲音”，以及“這只是數位技術，所以所有 CD 播放器聽起來都一樣”的態度。但這被推翻了，播放器​之間的質的差異成為了公認的事實。接下來是獨立的傳輸和 DAC 組合，它帶來了「所有 S/PDIF 數位音訊電纜聽起來都一樣...」的態度，直到這個觀點也被證明是錯誤的。現在，邊界再次移動。數位音訊真的只是 1 和 0 嗎？我們不這麼認為，一旦您有機會聽過 Carbon USB，您也不會這麼認為。
