Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Coffee HDMI uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile.

When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years.

When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest’s Niagara Series of power products), ensures that radio frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise\/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical \"reference\" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics \"shield the shield,\" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise\/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHard-Cell Foam Insulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges \u0026amp; Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"0.75 Meter","offer_id":42171256438968,"sku":"AQ COFFEE COAX 0.75M","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 Meter","offer_id":48269919092920,"sku":"AQ COFFEE COAX 1.5M","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.25 Meter","offer_id":48269919125688,"sku":"AQ COFFEE COAX 2.25M","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Meter","offer_id":48269919158456,"sku":"AQ COFFEE COAX 3M","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/coffee_coax.jpg?v=1741630318"}],"url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/collections\/audioquest-deals.oembed","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
