Engineered to Explore the Furthest Echelons of Audio Excellence
Named after Canada’s largest and longest river system, the Mackenzie River, these AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR analog audio interconnect cables are designed to reach and connect as far and wide as the namesake system that inspired them. The Mackenzie XLR was designed with AudioQuest’s Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, resulting in an extreme-purity solution to nearly eradicate any distortion often caused by grain boundaries. Sweetwater’s studio technicians are quick to praise these cables for their excellent RFI (radio frequency interference) protection, thanks to three layers of metal and carbon-infused synthetic materials that absorb and reflect RF energy before it reaches the ground. Moreover, the conductors are designed to control for RFI and RF-noise via directionality; the Hard-Cell foamed-polyethylene insulation further eliminates noise, maximizes clarity, and enhances listening quality, thanks to their high air-content construction. With cold-welded, hanging-silver over purple-copper terminations, the Mackenzie XLR analog audio interconnect cable is your route to summitting the furthest peaks of aural excellence.
AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR Cable Features:
- PSC+ conductors utilize the highest-grade copper to mitigate electrical and magnetic-strand interaction
- Hard-cell foam insulation incorporates nitrogen-injected pockets to dispel noise and prevent absorption before it reaches the ground
- Noise-dissipating properties of solid PSC+ copper mean minimal grain-boundary distortion and maximum linear-RFI dissipation for detailed, crystal-clear sound
- Non-symmetrical conductor and metal-strand designs ensure noise is dissipated in a directionally controlled manner, giving you cleaner and more consistent quality
- Cold-welded terminations offer superior plug-wire bonding to preserve the inherent audio-conducting architecture of the wire, for unwavering signal-processing fidelity
- Triple-balanced geometry guarantees low-distortion signal conducting that never uses the cable shielding as an inferior conductor — balanced positive- and negative-signal performance
- Carbon-infused 3-layer noise dissipation methodically absorbs and reflects lingering RF energy
