Low-Frequency Subwoofer Audio Interconnect

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid 1.25% Silver Conductor
Solid 1.25% Silver-Plated Copper Conductors: A superbly cost-effective way to turn up the “sharpness” for a subwoofer, enhancing articulation and intelligibility.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. AudioQuest, however, uses Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation on both conductors, for increased geometry stabilization and improved clarity. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

Double-Balanced Geometry
Specifically designed for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.

Cold-Welded, Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Red Copper Terminations

• Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors: Solid conductors help eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.
• Compatible with most amps and receivers: For wide-ranging use.
• 1.25% silver-plated copper: Ensures clear, crisp signal transmission.
• PE air-tube insulation: Minimizes sonic smearing and preserves dynamic contrast for quality sound reproduction.
• Carbon-based, 3-layer noise-dissipation system: Uses carbon-loaded layers to reduce the amount of RF and EMI noise before it reaches the equipment ground plane.
