RF Silencers
All USB cables, due to their inherent nature, inevitably pickup AND radiate radio frequencies that negatively impact the sonic performance. On the Mercury USB3.0 cable, there are three sets of RF Silencers. The two outer ones are best located at each respective end.
Note: The custom-designed metal oxide ceramic RF Silencers offer different permeabilities. Compared to generic filters this atypical approach is incredibly effective; over the widest frequency range.
Feel free to adjust the central third Silencer to attain the optimal sonic
performance.
Tip: To start with, set the three RF Silencers to the ‘Golden Ratio’,
with the shorter section closer to the USB ‘B’ connector (item 3 above).
