Interconnect Cables
In some cases, interconnects can make the most impact on an overall system. These cables carry audio signals at a low power level. This is known as signal level, which can be more susceptible to intrusion by electromagnetic interference, due to the low signal voltage. Quality materials and precise manufacturing will make a definitive impact with interconnects.

Maze Audio Ref4 Carbon Braided RCA Interconnects
Click on pictures for expanded image
Top of the line Ref4 braided interconnect cables inherit the incredible 4 conductor braided technology that we developed many years ago with our power cables. Four conductor cables create the quietest audio system possible. Read about Four Conductor Braided technology on our "Why Maze Audio" page.
These cables are built with the best copper wire we can source. Four conductors of 18 gauge low capacitance copper wire, equivalent to an aggregate 15 AWG conductor area. They are individually covered in tech flex jacketing for appearance and a long service life. Then they are hand braided to get the most noise free performance possible. They are terminated with beautiful 24 karat gold or rhodium plated, carbon ferrule locking RCA plugs. These will make a tight high performance connection to your components. We also have **NEW** Sandalwood RCA plugs, with gold-plated connections and accents, and premium tan and brown tweed jacketing. Prices start at $94.95 per pair for 1.5 ft length with black jacketing. Additional length is $15 per foot. Premium jacketing is an additional $89.95 at a three feet length. Shipping is free to the United States. |

**NEW PRODUCT** Maze Audio Copper Litz Braided Cable RCA Interconnects
Click on pictures for expanded image
These fantastic Maze Audio interconnects feature machine braided copper litz wire. There are many advantages to the litz construction. The tight braids prohibit radio-frequency and other electromagnetic noise from being emitted or being absorbed by the cable. In addition, the braiding makes the cable extremely flexible, keeping tension off the RCA jacks on your valuable equipment and making cable routing and organization a simple task. See the "Why Maze Audio" page on this website for more information.
Litz wire allows the flow of electricity to be cleanly divided between multiple braided strands of fine wire that are each insulated, then braided. As a result, cables that utilize litz wire enjoy much less skin effect than devices using traditional non-isolated wire construction. Other advantages of litz wire include increased efficiency and lower operating temperatures.
The connector ferrules are durable black carbon fiber accented with rhodium plated rings. The RCA plugs are gold-plated for corrosion-free connections.

These cables start with 7N purity,
22 gauge virgin oxygen free copper (OFC) wire that has been coated with clear silicone to reveal the copper, along with half the wires coated with black silicone. It is then machine braided to the final form. |
|
The litz construction and braided format offer other distinct advantages similar to our hand braided Ref4 and Ref3 cables. Braided cables help avoid magnetic induction between the signals and in fact provide less opportunity for electronic noise to develop initially. Braided cables with silicone insulation also are much more flexible than other cable architectures. For a discussion of the benefits of braided cables please look at our "Why Maze Audio" page on our website.
These are sold as pairs of cables. One right channel, and one left channel.

Maze Audio Reference Silver Braided Litz Cable RCA Interconnects

Silver plated copper wire offers several advantages over plain copper wire. Silver minimizes skin effect in your cables. Skin effect refers to an increase in a conductor's electrical resistance due to current migration towards the outer surface of the wire or cable at higher frequencies. It is often observed in high frequency (10KHz to 1 MHz) cables that contain smaller skin depth. Silver is one the very best conductors of electricity. Silver plated wire increases thermal and electrical conductivity. Silver will actually raise the overall conductivity of the copper wire. It's difficult to find quality silver plated wire that is still affordable.

These fantastic Maze Audio interconnects feature silver plated machine braided litz wire. There are many advantages to silver plating and to the litz construction. The minimizing of skin effect that both silver plating and litz construction wire provide compliment each other. Together these two methods provide an exotic construction that creates a world class audio cable.
|
Like silver plating, litz wire construction also offers minimizing of skin effect in finished cables. Litz wire allows the flow of electricity to be cleanly divided between multiple braided strands of fine wire that are each insulated, then braided. As a result, cables that utilize litz wire enjoy much less skin effect than devices using traditional non-isolated wire construction. Other advantages of litz wire include increased efficiency and lower operating temperatures.

These cables start with 7N purity, 22 gauge virgin, oxygen free copper (OFC) wire that has been plated in sterling silver. It is then individually encased in dielectric, then machine braided to the final form.

In addition to the silver plate and litz construction, the braided format offers other distinct advantages similar to our hand braided Ref4 and Ref3 cables. Braided cables help deflect RFI and EMI interference, and in fact provide less opportunity for electronic noise to develop initially. Braided cables also are much more flexible than other cable architectures For a discussion of the benefits of braided cables please look at our "Why Maze Audio" page on our website.
These are sold as pairs of cables. One right channel, and one left channel.
