FERROGUARD
TECHNOLOGY
A special braided shielding material that does not need to be coupled to neutral ground or earth-ground to effectively prohibit interference noise, for it is lossy and dissipating without adding unwanted capacitive effects. More importantly, it protects the signal integrity from common modes towards ground and other relatively lowfrequency noise that is in the actual audio band.
Normally, this kind of shielding is only possible when connecting both ends of the (silver, copper or aluminium shields) to ground. This procedure often comes with the side effect of introducing ground loops. FerroGuard therefore has a very big impact on audio signal quality: it makes cables perform and sound as if unshielded, yet with an extremely low noise floor.
It also makes for a suitable shielding solution in speaker cables, even if using twophase push-pull amplifiers.
UDCP MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY
This novelty 'Ultra Dielectric Crystal Polymer' material was born from research done on how to push boundaries on what is dielectrically possible in crossover filters. Even as a solid material, UDCP far surpasses the level of foamed dielectric materials, having a dielectric constant as low as 1.2 (!).
Implemented in our Exclusive signal cables as a spacer component to mount insulated cable parts in air tubes, it enables maximum signal integrity beyond today’s best performance levels. As applied in our double mono RCA cable, it makes it possible to combine left and right channels in one stereo cable without electronic cross-talk between channels. We also use a soft woven version of this crystalized polymer fibre for covering the ends of Exclusive Speaker Cable (from splitter at both ends), Exclusive XLR cable for Speakers (from splitter towards speaker) and the Exclusive Double Mono RCA cable (from splitter at both ends). This crystalized material is very heat resistant (>370⁰C).
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
DISCOVER THE SCIENCE
Like with all Aequo products, there is an enormous amount of research done to establish a solid and scientific base. The highest pinnacles in high-end audio are only reachable for those who truly understand how the laws of nature work on all involved aspects. No stone has been left untouched.
For the tech-adventurers that are interested to discover how deep down the rabbit hole our engineers went: feel free to take a dive into the paper that covers it all...
