THE DEFINITION OF VDM: AudioQuest/CinemaQuest VDM Series cables are designed to minimize

distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. A 75Ω cable is like a conduit which has to carry relatively
low frequency analog video (Composite, up to 4.2MHz), or super sensitive digital audio (SP/DIF, up to

24.576 MHz), or uncompressed High Definition video (HDTV, up to 750 MHz), or cable TV/broadband
(CATV, up to 1 GHz). AQ/CQ VDM (preterminated cables) and VSD (bulk installation cables) cables are
designed to carry all these signals with minimum interference from the cable.

THE INGREDIENTS: VDM-3 uses a 6.1% Silver Center Conductor (6.1% SPC) insulated with Hard Cell

Foam (HCF). Normal 1.25% silver-plate greatly improves high frequency performance for a fraction of the
cost of solid silver. A 6.1% silver conductor is much closer to all silver, still for a fraction of the cost.
Nitrogen Injected HCF reduces distortion caused by the insulating material. The combination Copper foil
and Silver-Plated braid shield provides 100% protection coverage and lower distortion. Silver-Plated RCA
plugs are professionally attached with superior AudioQuest solder. BNC, Antenna and F connectors are
also available.
