Argentum Acoustics Argento 1M RCA Digital Cable - SWEET!

Argentum Acoustics

Enduring Quality
With over 10 years of engineering and fabrication experience Ultralink/XLO’s Argentum Acoustics® cables are manufactured with the very best materials, processes and dielectrics available, hand terminated with beautifully engineered, industrial designed connectors and an elegant black jacket. Conductors are 99.99998% laboratory-grade UPOCC (Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Cast) copper except for the silver Argento, and feature ultra-low capacitance DuPont™ Teflon™ insulation. Connectors are minimal mass and non-magnetic ensuring low self-inductance and feature direct 24K gold-plated contacts. All Argentum Acoustics® cables are cryogenically treated during the manufacturing process.

Being and Nothingness
In a nutshell, everyone says cables should be neutral and totally passive with zero effect on the sound. Argentum accepts that passing current through a conductor and its insulation (the dielectric) produces well-documented electrical phenomena, so we design our cables as the active components they really are. Current through a conductor and its insulator creates magnetic and electrostatic fields, plus the design must consider characteristic impedance, capacitance, resistance, inductive reactance, capacitive discharge effect, the dielectric constant and its dump rate.

Engineering Truth
Argentum follows the “active” science, no off-world so-called “solutions”, no magic, just solid engineering handsomely presented. Audio and video systems are immediately and appreciably better sounding, striking a high-value price/performance benchmark. Argentum Acoustics® cables are designed for high-end, two-channel systems and work extremely well in crossover video installations where sound is paramount.

Argento™ Coaxial Digital Cable

Most digital data outputs are 75 ohm coaxial connections on RCA connectors; the clock, left channel and right channel information are interleaved on a single cable.

Coaxial digital cables carry digital signals up in the megahertz range and must maintain a constant 75 ohm transmission line to avoid echoes that lead to timing errors.

As silver’s outer oxide layer is more conductive than copper’s, and because digital’s extremely high frequencies ride the outside layer of the conductor, Argentum Acoustics’ lab-grade silver is the material of choice, paired with DuPont™ Teflon™ dielectric.

The shield does double duty in coaxial cables; it protects the digital datastream within the cable as well as shielding the rest of your system from radiated high-frequency digital noise.
