Key Technologies
Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.
Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation
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.
72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)
All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest’s Niagara Series of power products), ensures that radio-frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements. (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1)
FEP Air-Tube Insulation
Positive conductors benefit from almost no contact between metal and its FEP insulation, which is notable for its superior dielectric constant and minimal signal interference. Negative conductors benefit from intentionally “lossy insulation” — no air and no FEP helps maximize the negative connection’s different job.
Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry
Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.
Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Red Copper Terminations
Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound, using no underlying layer of distortion-causing nickel, while the highly effective cold-weld process avoids sound-degrading solder.

Q What is the Audioquest Angel RCA cable and what is it used for?
It's a premium analog audio interconnect for connecting audio electronics via RCA connections. It uses solid silver conductors and a noise-dissipation system to minimize distortion and eliminate high-frequency interference for cleaner audio reproduction.
Q What are the conductors made of?
Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors, arranged in an Asymmetrical Double-Balanced configuration optimized for single-ended applications, providing lower ground impedance for more dynamic performance.
Q What noise-reduction technology does it use?
It features FEP Air-Tube insulation on the positive conductors, an intentionally "lossy" negative insulation for optimal grounding, a carbon-based 3-layer noise-dissipation system, and a 72-volt Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with RF trap technology.
Q What lengths are available, and is it sold as a single cable or a pair?
It's sold as a stereo pair (both channels) in lengths of 0.6m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 8m, 12m, 16m, or 20m.
Q What are the connectors and cable jacket made of?
The connectors are cold-welded, direct-silver-plated red copper (with no nickel underlayer), and the cable is finished with a silver-on-black nylon braid jacket.
