Audio Quests Mackenzie Interconnects are a solid bet in moderately priced cables with high performance. Using many of the features of much more expensive cables, they provide a clean, quiet conduit for your music, while delivering stunning details and dynamics. This is a clean trade-in pair, tested and in very good condition. FEATURES:SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+ Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS) Its easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipments ground reference requires AQs 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. NDSs 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.TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY (SEPARATE GROUND-REFERENCE CONDUCTOR) Our Triple-Balanced Geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the cables shield is never used as an inferior conductor. Whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the cables three conductors ensure that the positive and negative signals have equally superior, low-distortion conducting paths.COLD-WELDED, HANGING-SILVER DIRECTLY OVER PURE PURPLE COPPER TERMINATIONS Cold-Welded, Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple Copper TerminationsHARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION Hard-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 & 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 cables conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cables full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

Genuine AUDIOQUEST MACKENZIE ANALOGUE MALE XLR to RCA 2x4m XLR MALE TO RCA Used in good condition . Requires immediate payment or cash on collection. Thanks for looking. Review : Purchased the XLR to RCA Version to connect my MasterSounds mixer to my amp. It sounded great before but Wow! this has taken it to another level. Custom terminated by Future Shop's engineers, the AudioQuest Mackenzie utilises AudioQuests Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) for greatly improved dynamics and reduced distortions for a cleaner sound signature. The smoother surface on the solid conductors lowers distortion and produces higher performance. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors : Strand interaction is the single greatest cause of distortion in a cable. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many strand-interaction distortion mechanisms. Solid-core conductors offer a complete and compelling solution to this problem. Conductor metal quality is critical for the best cable performance. The conductor surface is the only area of the conductor with 100% current density at all frequencies. The smoothness of the conductor surface is imperative because the surface is a guide rail for the entire energy envelope. The best copper and silver conductor metals have fewer grain boundaries and low oxygen content for low distortion and high performance. Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Mackenzie’s conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Mackenzie’s very clean sound. Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation : Insulation is necessary to keep the positive and negative conductors separate and to give stability to cable geometry. Insulation is also a dielectric because it is inside the conductor's magnetic field. Dielectrics absorb energy, which after a delay is then released in the signal, causing smearing and distortion. Better insulation reduces distortion by absorbing less energy. Mackenzie utilises Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation and also is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) : 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane. AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) offers a compelling solution to this challenge by using metal-only or alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics to effectively “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting the Radio Frequency (RF) energy before it reaches the layer attached to the ground. Mackenzie utilises the Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane. Triple-Balanced Geometry : Geometry is the physical relationship of the conductors to one another within a cable and determines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). Different cable applications have different/specialized geometry requirements, and so these applications do not merely follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Better geometry leads to lower levels of distortion. The three conductors in “Triple-Balanced” Mackenzie cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor. Directionality AudioQuest’s understanding of conductor directionality and its effect on audio performance has steadily evolved, growing stronger and more complete. All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by the arrows on the plugs or cable parts. Cold-Welded Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple-Copper Plugs : AudioQuest specifies materials and designs each of its own connectors from the ground up, resulting in the long-lasting quality and exceptional performance you deserve. These components are crucial to the overall performance of a cable. To provide the best possible performance for each application, AudioQuest designs each of its connectors from the ground up. These components are crucial to the overall performance of the cable. Painstaking care is taken to evaluate the highest quality materials and design for every application. AudioQuest pays special attention to the plating it uses over its connectors’ carefully crafted base metals. This proprietary, novel plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machine ability. Purple-Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than the nickel-plated or OFHC metals commonly found in competing manufacturers' plugs.

Audioquest Mackenzie XLR Cables; 1m Pair Balanced Interconnects. Good condition Comes in the original box

Hey guys I have for sale used but in perfect condition AudioQuest RCA cables Mackenzie!! I don’t have original box. I bought from UpscaleAudio 2 years ago.

Audioquest Mackenzie XLR - 3m - Genuine AQ. I have purchased two for a project less than a year ago, but haven’t used one of them as I changed the system so this one left opened but unused. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I purchased my audio system from authorized dealer and they installed everything. I hardly use them at all ending selling everything. This is one of the last few cables that I discover during recent spring cleaning. Disclosure: One of the connectors is pretty snug and take little more effort to plug in or pull out on some units I used to own. However, it doesnt not affect the sound quality at all. If you have question, please feel free to contact me. I am selling personal item and not a business. Therefore, I do not accept return or exchange. Sold As Is. Thank you very much.

AUDIOQUEST MACKENZIE ANALOGUE MALE XLR to RCA 4 metre stereo pair Worth £410. Used in good condition . Requires immediate payment or cash on collection. Thanks for looking. Review : Purchased the XLR to RCA Version to connect my MasterSounds mixer to my amp. It sounded great before but Wow! this has taken it to another level. Custom terminated by Future Shop's engineers, the AudioQuest Mackenzie utilises AudioQuests Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) for greatly improved dynamics and reduced distortions for a cleaner sound signature. The smoother surface on the solid conductors lowers distortion and produces higher performance. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors : Strand interaction is the single greatest cause of distortion in a cable. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many strand-interaction distortion mechanisms. Solid-core conductors offer a complete and compelling solution to this problem. Conductor metal quality is critical for the best cable performance. The conductor surface is the only area of the conductor with 100% current density at all frequencies. The smoothness of the conductor surface is imperative because the surface is a guide rail for the entire energy envelope. The best copper and silver conductor metals have fewer grain boundaries and low oxygen content for low distortion and high performance. Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Mackenzie’s conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Mackenzie’s very clean sound. Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation : Insulation is necessary to keep the positive and negative conductors separate and to give stability to cable geometry. Insulation is also a dielectric because it is inside the conductor's magnetic field. Dielectrics absorb energy, which after a delay is then released in the signal, causing smearing and distortion. Better insulation reduces distortion by absorbing less energy. Mackenzie utilises Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation and also is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent. Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) : 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane. AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) offers a compelling solution to this challenge by using metal-only or alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics to effectively “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting the Radio Frequency (RF) energy before it reaches the layer attached to the ground. Mackenzie utilises the Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane. Triple-Balanced Geometry : Geometry is the physical relationship of the conductors to one another within a cable and determines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). Different cable applications have different/specialized geometry requirements, and so these applications do not merely follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Better geometry leads to lower levels of distortion. The three conductors in “Triple-Balanced” Mackenzie cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor. Directionality AudioQuest’s understanding of conductor directionality and its effect on audio performance has steadily evolved, growing stronger and more complete. All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by the arrows on the plugs or cable parts. Cold-Welded Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Purple-Copper Plugs : AudioQuest specifies materials and designs each of its own connectors from the ground up, resulting in the long-lasting quality and exceptional performance you deserve. These components are crucial to the overall performance of a cable. To provide the best possible performance for each application, AudioQuest designs each of its connectors from the ground up. These components are crucial to the overall performance of the cable. Painstaking care is taken to evaluate the highest quality materials and design for every application. AudioQuest pays special attention to the plating it uses over its connectors’ carefully crafted base metals. This proprietary, novel plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machine ability. Purple-Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than the nickel-plated or OFHC metals commonly found in competing manufacturers' plugs.
