Fog Lifter Kit
Cable-Uppers Isolate RF Noise
For four decades, AudioQuest has stated as clearly
as possible, that pretty much all audio improvements
come from reducing “damage”—either by
preserving the original information or by not adding
misinformation.
AudioQuest’s new Fog Lifters work so well because
of how effectively they address a significant source
of misinformation—Radio-Frequency Noise coupled
from the floor into audio and AC cables.
A carpet or wood floor, not to mention a concrete
floor, might not at first seem like a source of RF
Noise, but infact RF energy is all around us and
always wants to go wherever it can find a lower
energy state.
Think of lightning or static electricity, especially
in winter. You don’t think of yourself as an energy
source, but dry heated air can make it painfully
obvious that there’s an energy differential between
you and the things you touch. That’s not an exact
analogy, but very close.
Fog Lifters significantly reduce RF coupling, whether
with the floor, or due to misdirected efforts to isolate
cable with stands or clamps that themselves have
too much mass and are sources of RF Noise.
A few inches or centimeters might not seem
important, but as with light coming from a bulb, the
energy falls off exponentially. A few inches or centimeters
makes a big difference—which translates
into a lower noise-floor and less compromise to, and
distortion in, attached active circuits.
If you’re thinking “my cables are shielded, so there
is no noise problem,” you’re partially correct—but
at the high frequencies we’re bathed in thanks to
cellular, Wi-Fi, etc., conventional shielding does not
stop RF Noise from being capacitively coupled into
signal-carrying conductors—not to mention that the
shield itself is drained to a ground plane, which is in
a sense as sensitive as the signal because “signal” is
the difference between signal and ground.
The proof is in the listening. Happy listening!
