AudioQuest Golden Gate RCA-RCA Analog Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Golden Gate is a meticulously engineered RCA analog interconnect designed for outstanding flexibility and versatility across a wide range of audio electronics. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise — delivering cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music.

Key Technologies
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) Conductors
AudioQuest's proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction — one of the greatest sources of distortion in conventional cables — resulting in a clean, natural sound.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Traditional shield systems drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating the critical reference ground plane and causing signal distortion. AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation system "shields the shield," absorbing and reflecting RF energy before it reaches the ground layer.
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
With its high air content, Foamed-PE causes significantly less energy storage and release than conventional insulation materials, reducing the out-of-focus effect common to other dielectrics.
Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry
Purpose-designed for single-ended applications, this geometry provides a lower impedance on the ground path for a richer, more dynamic listening experience — separating the ground and shield paths for cleaner, quieter performance.
Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Terminations
Solder-free, high-pressure cold-welded connections eliminate a common source of distortion. Gold plating ensures long-term corrosion resistance and reliable signal transfer.
Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
Shipping & Returns
- Free shipping on orders over R500 within the country.
- Standard delivery within 2–5 business days. Delays will be communicated. This might vary slightly depending on your location.
