Audioquest Carbon Optical

Perfect for use with soundbars, subwoofers, and various A/V components, Carbon Optical features 19 narrow-aperture, highest-purity synthetic fibers to minimize timing errors, improve bandwidth, and optimize performance.

19 Narrow-Aperture Synthetic Fiber Conductors The problem with optical fiber transmission is that dispersed light does get through the Toslink cable, but only after it has taken a longer path, like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails, causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding the information from being decoded properly, or even at all. This reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber, the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears. Precision Polished Fiber Ends Low-Jitter 19 Narrow-Aperture High-Purity Synthetic Fibers: Unlike most optical cables, which use a single large fiber to transmit the audio signal and are highly vulnerable to distortion caused by their indirect light dispersion, AudioQuest’s Carbon Optical cable features 19 narrow-aperture fibers of the highest-purity synthetic, creating a cleaner, more direct signal path with significantly reduced dispersion and lower distortion. Precision-Polished Fiber Ends: AudioQuest Carbon Optical cable uses a non-metallic connection, which provides critical galvanic isolation to eliminate the transmission and pickup of induced radio-frequency noise. Music is presented with a satisfying combination of realistic detail and natural warmth.
