The AudioQuest 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable has been designed to be used as a single-ended application. It has a relatively lower impedance and offers a clean and quieter response. This cable uses long-grain copper conductors that offer a much cleaner sound when compared to regular oxygen-free high conductivity copper. Since it has lesser impurities and grain boundaries, it prevents major distortion delivering better performance.

The conductors are 100% shielded with a metal-layer noise-dissipation system that gets rid of the signal distortion caused by traditional shield systems which absorb and drain noise/RF energy to the ground. An imperfect circuit is caused due to any solid material which is adjacent to the circuit. The foamed-polyethene insulation and circuit board are responsible for energy absorption. The AudioQuest 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable uses gold-plated terminations for distortion-free sound. A high-pressure technique is used to get rid of connection soldering issues.
