Ansuz Acoustics have introduced a new flagship series of audio cables and power distributors – Ansuz Gold Signature. The Ansuz development team has always known that gold has the potential to significantly increase sound quality, but unfortunately, gold can also do the opposite. The challenge was to find the optimum amount of gold in combination with silver and copper. Several variations were developed and tested in different types of cables. Ansuz’s Gold Signature wire is used in several applications: as conductor, as ground wire or as a base wire for the dual coil technology in certain cable types.
Ansuz has incorporated the Gold Signature wire into their double inverted helix coil design for certain cable types. This they say has helped further improve resonance control and ensures an unobstructed signal transport. They have also incorporated a zirconium bar into their anti-aerial resonance coil design, and developed active cable zirconium Tesla coil technology. The new design includes three zirconium bars.

The active zirconium Tesla coil is wound directly around the outer part of the cable, protecting the signal from absorbing airborne RF noise. The active version is about three to four times more efficient than the passive cable Tesla coil.
The housing of the cables is surface-treated with the Ansuz Signature coating. This process produces ultra-fine and uniform layers of zirconium and tungsten, followed by a layer of aluminium titanium nitride, and finally, another layer of zirconium.
The cabinet for the Gold Signature series distribution units is the most ambitious construction to date. The aim is to reduce all vibrations that might be absorbed in the electronics and circuitry to an absolute minimum. The cabinet consists of two parts: The main cabinet containing all electronics is in a natural-based composite material, which reduces the mechanical influence, particularly the hysteresis. This main cabinet is connected to a sandwich base plate, a heavy, compact laminate panel with titanium layers on the top and bottom. It is fitted with Ansuz Darkz resonate control – and the base plate is mounted with Ansuz Feet.

3rd generation analogue dither technology
Analogue dither technology originates from radar, where it provides a stronger signal and thus a much longer range. Active Tesla coils emit pulsating signals with precisely defined frequencies. These signals are sent in anti-phase. This significantly amplifies the music signal and eliminates background noise. Recently, Ansuz have introduced a 3rd generation of this technology. An even more advanced and sophisticated version that calibrates the pulsating frequencies with even greater accuracy.
Tesla Coil technology aims to remove as much unwanted noise as possible from the AC power line. The principle is based on two counter-wound coils: a coil and a counter coil, or a double inverted coil, the two coils both carry voltage. When the Tesla coil encounters a voltage spike, a counter coil is activated to eliminate the noise. Since noise spikes are pure voltage and carry virtually no charge, cancellation is quite good, but still not 100%. However, when multiple P-TC coils are connected in parallel, their noise cancellation capability increases notably, further reducing noise levels to unprecedentedly low levels. This significantly improves the perceived blackness of the music background. It was obvious to implement this very effective Tesla coil technology in the new Gold Signature series as well.
Ansuz have incorporated Charged Dielectric technology into all of its most exclusive series, which include the new Gold Signature series. The idea behind this is based on the electrical charge of the insulating layer, which is made of Teflon. Teflon is one of the strongest dielectric materials and ensures the creation of an internal electric field, making it now possible to achieve the same charge at a lower voltage.

Shaping the sound of your audio system
Ansuz Acoustics’ main endeavour has always been to reduce the noise floor in any audio system without affecting the spectrum of natural sound or changing its dynamics, energy or soundstage. To achieve this, Ansuz approaches product development with a natural curiosity, willing to break new ground both in audio engineering and in researching the properties of various materials. This is exactly the approach Ansuz took in developing their flagship products, the new Gold Signature series. It elevates the sound quality of any audio system to a new dimension of musical authenticity and generates a clearer, much more refined, absolutely natural and balanced sound image that makes the blackness of the musical background literally tangible.
