AudioQuest's patented Dielectric Bias System (DBS) puts all of a cableandrsquo;s dielectric into a strong stable electrostatic field which saturates (organizes) the molecules of the insulation continuously from the time the cable is terminated. The exceptionally simple design uses a wire down the middle of the cable which is simply an extension of a batteryandrsquo;s anode. This wire is attached to negative (-) of a DBS battery pack and nothing else. It is not in the signal path and has no interaction with the signal. Depending on the model of interconnect (analog or digital) or speaker cable an existing foil andldquo;shieldandrdquo; is used as the DBS anode by connecting it to positive (+) of the DBS battery pack. The negative side of a battery is nothing; itandrsquo;s just an empty reservoir. Again there is no interaction with signal flow and no extra connections are introduced into the signal path.Dielectric-Bias System with Radio Frequency TrapAll insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuestandrsquo;s Niagara Series of power products) ensures that radio frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.What's in the Box:DBS Portable Battery Pack
