AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR Balanced Analog Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR is a balanced analog interconnect designed for systems that benefit from lower noise and higher signal precision. It uses solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, which reduce grain and distortion compared to conventional copper. Mackenzie’s triple-balanced geometry improves common-mode noise rejection, making it well suited for balanced DACs, preamps, and amplifiers. AudioQuest’s carbon-based noise-dissipation system helps prevent RF interference from entering sensitive audio circuits, while cold-welded, silver-plated XLR connectors avoid solder-related distortion. The result is a clean, controlled signal that preserves detail and tonal balance in both stereo and home audio systems.
Key Features
- Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors for low distortion
- Triple-balanced XLR geometry improves noise rejection
- Carbon-based noise-dissipation system reduces RF interference
- Cold-welded XLR connectors with silver plating
- Direction-controlled conductors for consistent signal flow
- Flexible, durable jacket for easy installation
Why Buy
Mackenzie XLR is ideal for listeners using balanced components who want lower noise and greater signal clarity without moving into oversized or overly complex cabling.
- Cleaner signal: PSC+ solid-core conductors reduce grain and distortion.
- Lower noise: Balanced geometry and RF control help keep backgrounds quiet.
- Balanced-system ready: Designed specifically for XLR-equipped components.
