Although there are still die-hard fans lovingly run their fingers over an ancient phonograph and adjust the stylus onto vinyl disks, the days of analog audio are quickly overtaken by digital quality. In comparison to scratchy tunes and an occasional skip, clarity and perfect tones win hands down. The fact that most, if not all, media available today support digital format, it spells the demise of analog audio. Digital sound cables are used to connect these digital audio devices to send digital signals whilst preserving its high quality.
Two types of these sound cables are available for consumer's pickings. The more common are coaxial digital cables which look similar to earlier types of audio cables which carried analog signals. Since these coaxial cables function by transmitting electrical pulses, they have to be properly shielded to keep out interference from the environment. Electromagnetic noise from nearby equipment, devices and power outlets which emit radio frequency signals pose a problem to these types of digital sound cables if they are not made of quality materials and have proper shielding. By incorporating the correct impedance levels, these cables are capable of handling more energy and larger bandwidths. This means that they can support extended lengths and more load. As sound levels increase, the cables may generate a lot of heat which may cause some resistance. In time and with extensive use, audio quality may degrade as its outer shielding loses its potency and interference creeps into the inner core of copper cables.
The other option is the optical cable, a more superior choice than the coaxial version. Using light as the medium of transmission, these cables are not prone to interference from electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. These pulses of light are able to travel at long distances and do not experience degradation in quality. However, materials used to construct the core of these optical cables are quite sensitive and do not withstand well if they are constantly moved about. They are also easily damaged if heavy devices are laid atop and crimp their surfaces.
When making decisions to select between these two types of audio cables, a few factors come into play. In terms of quality, both are able to deliver similar levels. Most audio devices support these cables' connectors. Perhaps the differentiation is obvious when it comes to the environments where these cables are set up. Since optical cables are immune to electromagnetic interferences, they are best suited in places where these abound. They are also ideal when great distances of cable lengths are needed. However, they are not recommended if there is constant shift to their placements as they are easily prone to damage. In a budget-tight setting, coaxial cables make better choices.
