Description AudioQuest Boxer RCA Subwoofer Cable The AudioQuest Boxer RCA Subwoofer Cable. 1.25% silver, solid conductors. Double balanced. Polyethylene air-tubes. Carbon based noise-dissipation. Jacket – brown / black braid. Features Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables. 1.25% Silver-Plating is applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation. Alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground. Polyethylene Air-Tube’s low-loss, high-air content design minimizes the out-of-focus effect seen in other materials, ensuring optimal performance. All conductors controlled for RF-noise directionality. Cold-Welded, Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Red Copper Terminations. 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.
