AudioQuest Type 5 Pre-Terminated 3m Banana Spade Speaker Cable Pair

The AudioQuest Type 5 speaker cable is a high-performance, low-distortion cable designed to deliver exceptional audio clarity and detail. Building upon the foundation of the renowned Type 4, the Type 5 incorporates advanced materials and design enhancements to further reduce noise and signal degradation.

Key Features

• Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
  The Type 5 utilizes a combination of PSC+ and LGC conductors. PSC+ offers an exceptionally smooth surface, minimizing grain boundaries that can cause distortion, while LGC provides high conductivity with fewer impurities. This blend ensures a more natural and detailed sound reproduction.

• Star-Quad Geometry
  Employing a balanced star-quad configuration, the Type 5 effectively reduces electromagnetic interference and minimizes time-smearing. This geometry enhances dynamic contrast and clarity, resulting in a more immersive listening experience.

• Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System
  The cable features a carbon-loading and direction-controlled noise-dissipation system. This design effectively absorbs and dissipates radio-frequency interference, lowering the noise floor and preserving the integrity of the audio signal.

• Increased Conductor Spacing
  Compared to its predecessor, the Type 5 has conductors that are slightly larger and spaced further apart. This design reduces interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%, further diminishing distortion and enhancing overall sound quality.

• Premium Braided Jacket
  The Type 5 is encased in a brown/black braided jacket, providing both aesthetic appeal and additional protection against external vibrations and resonance.
