Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) is AudioQuest's highest-quality metal. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity PSS minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.\u003cbr\u003eZERO-Tech (No Defined Characteristic-Impedance)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon \u0026amp; PSS Silver Based Linear Noise-Dissipation\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe world is permeated with RF Noise from satellites, cellular towers, Bluetooth, etc. AQ’s comprehensive Linear Noise-Dissipation employs multiple shields, absorptive carbon, direction-controlled metal, and Perfect-Surface Silver (the best possible RF conducting shield-drain) in order to prevent RF Noise from compromising amplifier performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZERO-Tech\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only complete way to eliminate characteristic-impedance mismatches between a cable and the attached source and load is for the cable not to have any fixed characteristic-impedance value. ZERO-Tech accomplishes this by eliminating interaction between the insulation (dielectric) and the cable’s conductors—enabling uncompressed current transfer. All-important transient current is unrestricted, and RF Noise-Dissipation is linearized (consistent octave to octave).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with Level-X RF Noise-Trap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eInsulation is also a dielectric that acts like a shunt-filter. Properly biasing the dielectric linearizes the filter, significantly improving the cable’s wide-bandwidth ability to dissipate induced noise. The DBS pack’s Level-X Noise-Trap “pulls” RF Noise out of the cable, further reducing attached audio circuit misbehavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerminations\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDragon cables are Cold-Welded to AudioQuest’s extremely pure Red Copper Spades or Bananas. The bare copper is submerged (hung) in a vat of pure silver instead of being tumbled in a lower-grade solution. AudioQuest speaker breakouts and plug casings are not metal in order not to induce RF Noise into the conductors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Wiring\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWhen possible, running separate cables to the treble and bass “halves” of a speaker considerably reduces distortion. Bi-Wiring keeps the large magnetic fields associated with bass energy out of the treble cable, allowing the delicate upper frequencies to travel a less magnetically disturbed path, like taking the waves out of the water when you swim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudioQuest Bass and GND-Tech (patented Ground-Noise Dissipation) attracts RF energy away from the amplifier’s output. When properly implemented, Bi-Wiring has always been a cost-effective way to get better performance for the same or less money. With GND-Tech, the advantage of Bi-Wiring is much more dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon BASS cable is ideal for the Bass input of a Bi-Wire-able speaker in combination with a Dragon ZERO on the treble input. A Bi-Wire COMBO with BASS and ZERO cables joined together at the amplifier is usually the most convenient. When Tri-Wiring, use BASS cables on the Midrange and on the Bass inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaution: Do not Bi-Wire with two ZERO cables. Two or more ZERO cables in-parallel can create a very high-Frequency resonant peak (ringing), and resulting poor sound. On a Bi-Wired speaker, only use ZERO in combination with a BASS cable, otherwise us a single ZERO cable with jumpers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"10 ft = 35 m \/ Pair \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347299893,"sku":"DRAGONZERO10BS","price":53700.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 ft = 3.7 m \/ Single \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347332661,"sku":"DRAGONZERO12BSS","price":31950.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ft = 4.6 m \/ Single \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347365429,"sku":"DRAGONZERO15BSS","price":39600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 ft = 3.7 m \/ Pair \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347398197,"sku":"DRAGONZERO12BS","price":63900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ft = 2.4 m \/ Single \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347430965,"sku":"DRAGONZERO8BSS","price":21750.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ft = 4.6 m \/ Pair \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347463733,"sku":"DRAGONZERO15BS","price":79200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 ft = 35 m \/ Single \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347496501,"sku":"DRAGONZERO10BSS","price":26850.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ft = 2.4 m \/ Pair \/ 2 x Male Banana \u003e 2 x Male Banana - Silver","offer_id":45136347529269,"sku":"DRAGONZERO8BS","price":43500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/cdc03856449d40b3f8af5533931c2a3978cdfba3.png?v=1776870594","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/audioquest-dragon-zero-speaker-cable","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
