FEATURES

LONG GRAIN COPPER CONDUCTORS (LGC): solid conductors eliminate strand-to-strand interaction distortion. Evergreen's long grain solid copper enables a smoother and clearer sound than cables using normal OFHC (high conductivity oxygen-free) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding 'leakage' without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, fewer impurities, fewer grain boundaries and much better performance.

FOAM-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. The insulation materials of the wire and the circuit board all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Evergreen uses air foamed polyethylene insulation on both conductors because air almost absorbs energy and polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Because of all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less out-of-focus effect common with other materials.

NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing RF interference captured by the modulation of the equipment ground reference requires the QA noise dissipation system. The noise dissipation system prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment ground plane.

ASYMMETRIC DOUBLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: designed for single-ended applications, asymmetrical double-balanced geometry offers relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both ground and shield, double-balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.

COLD-SOLDERED GOLD PLATED RCA CONNECTORS: This plug design allows for a solder-free connection, which is a common source of distortion. Since the ground shells are moulded rather than machined, metal can be chosen for low distortion rather than machinability.
