Fabricated in Illinois with Gotham’s audiophile-acclaimed GAC-1S/PDIF Pro Digital Audio Cable, Lincoln Route 97-D assemblies feature the exceptional performance at a very reasonable price. The cable boasts very low capacitance, minimal attenuation and excellent shielding.

Any digital audio or video signal transmitted through coaxial cable requires a characteristic 75 Ohm impedance to be maintained from end to end. A precision impedance match is absolutely is absolutely critical for SDI video and high resolution digital audio. So best practice dictates the use of BNC connectors in these applications. S/PDIF digital audio is more tolerant of impedance variations so most any decent cable with a 75 Ohm +/- 3% characteristic will pass usable signal over a short distance with most any soldered RCA connectors. 

But no soldered RCA connector with a large center pin can be as precise a match to 75 Ohms as a BNC. The next best thing is an RCA connector that uses a crimped connection to a small center pin -- this is as close to a "true" 75 Ohm path as you can get with an RCA terminated coaxial cable.

The Route 97-D provides this superior impedance match with gold contact, crimp design Canare RCAP RCA connectors. Critical listeners will appreciate the difference these connectors make when combined with a higher quality, low attenuation cable.

Quality that’s good enough to compete with $$$ audiophile favorites at a much lower price point.
