Audio Solutions AS-A-2013 Stereo Audio Cable 2000 Series, 13-Feet Silver plated copper braid shield combined with AL foil provides a clean signal by protecting against EM and RF interference. 24K Direct Gold Plated RCA connectors with spring contact grounds provide deep, tight bass, smooth midrange and natural treble. A flexible and durable gray cotton jacket provides great looks and rugged durability, while the color-coded metal hybrid shell makes for easy identification and handling. Large oxygen-free solid signal conductors constitute the backbone of our cables. While many companies are scaling back conductor sizes, we insist on heavy gauge signal conductors (often two times or more larger than the competition). GIPE is a high-performance internal component that helps maintain conductor positioning and crush resistance, which is essential for high-performance video. Not only are these 24K gold plated connectors good looking, they are corrosion resistant and provide maximum signal transfer over the life of your system.
