A 3.5mm mini interconnect carries an analog signal between two components using the same small plug most headphones use, so no adapter is needed on gear already built around that jack.
AudioQuest's Tower is a 3.5mm mini interconnect with solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation and Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation. It ends in cold-welded, gold-plated plugs and has a Black with White Stripes CL3/FT4 PVC jacket.
Other length & termination options are available. Call us to discuss your needs.
AudioQuest says Long-Grain Copper has fewer oxides, impurities and grain boundaries than regular oxygen-free copper. Solid conductors also prevent strand interaction, which AudioQuest calls a major source of distortion.
AudioQuest says its Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts.
Noise control is AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation, which absorbs and reflects most radio-frequency noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
All internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise. The Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry is built for single-ended use. AudioQuest says it gives the ground a relatively lower impedance for a richer, more dynamic sound.
Each plug is joined to the wire by a high-pressure cold weld instead of solder, which AudioQuest calls a common source of distortion. The ground shells are stamped instead of machined, so the metal can be chosen for low distortion.
Plug one 3.5mm end into your source's headphone or line-out jack, and the other end into the matching 3.5mm input on your amplifier or receiver.
Then power up the system as usual.
Measure the route the cable will really take from your source to your amplifier or receiver, around furniture and behind the rack. Then add a little slack. As audio legend George Cardas puts it, "A cable that's just long enough usually turns out to be just not long enough."
An interconnect often stays in a system for years, so it is easy to overlook. Look again when something else changes: a new DAC, streamer or headphone amplifier, or a better amplifier.
A 3.5mm interconnect is one link between a source and an amplifier or receiver. It usually joins these categories.
AudioQuest says all internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise. Where the cable carries a direction marking, connect it running from source toward amplifier.
Unbalanced. This is a single-ended 3.5mm connection, like a typical headphone cable, not a balanced connection.
A limited lifetime warranty for the original owner, when you buy from an authorized US dealer like us.
AudioQuest Evergreen is the next rung in the 3.5mm mini range. It moves up to Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors with Foamed-Polyethylene insulation and Metal-Layer noise dissipation.
