- Length: 2 metres
At its heart, the cable uses Perfect‑Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, AudioQuest’s highest‑purity copper, ensuring a clean, smooth signal path with enhanced detail and tonal accuracy. The balanced XLR configuration further improves performance by rejecting external interference, resulting in a quieter background and a more dynamic, three‑dimensional soundstage.
The Mackenzie also features Foamed‑Polyethylene insulation, which reduces energy absorption and time smear, allowing music to sound more open, natural, and lifelike. Cold‑welded, gold‑plated XLR connectors eliminate solder, ensuring optimal conductivity and long‑term reliability.
Mackenzie XLR cable – Originally named Disappointment for dashing Alexander Mackenzie’s hope that it would lead to the Pacific rather than the Arctic Ocean, the Mackenzie River is Canada’s largest, longest river system. Traversing 2,635 miles, it flows through a vast network of lakes, boreal forests and arctic tundra. Mackenzie’s many tributaries cover portions of three provinces—British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan—and two territories, Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Known as “The Amazon of the North,” Mackenzie’s sparsely populated basin remains one of the great unspoiled natural areas in the world.
With a sound signature that is transparent yet refined, the AudioQuest Mackenzie XLR is an excellent upgrade for serious listeners who want to extract maximum performance from their audio systems—without adding coloration.
