Cables represent the longest signal paths in your audio and video system, and they also
have an extremely wide bandwidth.This combination makes them very efficient anten-
nas for picking up radio frequency noise and interference; i.e., unwanted signals. Yet
cables are an essential component of any audio or video system. It takes special tech-
nologies that go well beyond the noise rejection capabilities of typical cables to control
the assault of unwanted signals on today’s high resolution audio and video components.
Transparent Cables and PowerLink Products control unwanted signals by incorporating
new approaches to cable geometry, shielding and precision designed passive networks
that are built into the cable.
Cable Geometry and Shielding
Proper cable geometry and shielding help to
reject radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). All
Transparent interconnects, speaker cables, digital cables, video cables, and AC power
cord products use unique cable geometry and shielding techniques to help reduce the
impact of external noise.
Passive Networks
Correct geometry and shielding alone cannot separate low-level
musical detail from the abundance of external noise present in today’s environment.
What’s required is a broader approach to noise rejection: special passive networks that
can reject a wider and more controlled frequency band of unwanted signals. Individually
designed passive filter networks are built into the modules of Transparent’s analog
interconnects and speaker cables and power conditioning products. The networks are
specifically matched to each type of application and each cable length. Rejecting
unwanted signals and controlling resonances are two of the most important objectives
of Transparent’s network technology. You can hear and see the benefits of rejecting
unwanted signals for yourself by comparing the performance of a system that is cabled
throughout with typical cable and comparing it to a system that is linked throughout
with Transparent Cables and Power Products.
