Mackenzie


Originally named Disappointment for dashing
Alexander Mackenzie’s hope that it would lead to the Pacific rather than
the Arctic Ocean, the Mackenzie River is Canada’s largest, longest
river system. Traversing 2,635 miles, it flows through a vast network of
lakes, boreal forests and arctic tundra. Mackenzie’s many tributaries
cover portions of three provinces—British Columbia, Alberta, and
Saskatchewan—and two territories, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
Known as “The Amazon of the North,” Mackenzie’s sparsely populated basin
remains one of the great unspoiled natural areas in the world.


SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS:
Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface.
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.
For 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 Mackenzie’s very clean sound.


NITROGEN-INJECTED HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION:
Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most
of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE,
it is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used
because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable
to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length
of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the
cable is consistent.


CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS):
100% 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.


TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: The
three conductors in “Triple-Balanced” Mackenzie 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.


COLD-WELDED HANGING-SILVER DIRECTLY OVER PURE PURPLE COPPER PLUGS:
This 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. Purple Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than the
nickel-plated or OFHC metals commonly found in competing manufacturers’
plugs.
