PSS CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors prevent
strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS)
minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries which exist within any metal conductor, eliminating
harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to all other conducting materials.
TEFLON AIR-TUBES: Air is the best
insulation because it does not absorb and later release energy. Teflon is the best extrudable solid
insulation because it absorbs less than other materials. The large Teflon Air-Tubes used in Sky have almost
nothing but air around the PSS conductors.
DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (patent pending):
Greatly improved performance is made possible by a constant 72 volt charge on all Sky's insulation. As 72
volts is far above the voltage of an audio signal, the result is considerably more transparency and
dynamics than possible even from a cable in continuous use, with equipment that is never turned off.
Because DBS battery packs are attached when Sky cables are assembled, Sky does not require an additional
run-in period. Because there is no "load" on the two standard hardware-store batteries, they will last for
years. A test button and LED allow for occasional verification of battery performance.
TRIPLE BALANCED: The 3 conductors in
"Triple Balanced" Sky cable insure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and
negative signals have equally low distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an
inferior audio conductor.
WELDED PLUGS: 8,000 amps is used to weld
RCA plugs to Sky, creating a perfect connection alloy where the cable and plug meet. A thick direct-silver
plating provides the best possible connection.
