Audioquest Rocket 44 SBW (2 x 3m)

Copper surface + (PSC +) / copper surface conductor (PSC)

This cable uses a carefully finished combination of very high purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. The surprisingly soft and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other co-products. The extremely high purity PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor.

Noise dissipation system

The negative conductors in this cable are coated with partially conductive carbon-loaded polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage from being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is the exact same reduction of “hash” and improved dimensionality that comes whenever RF interference is lowered in an audio circuit. In addition, a carbon layer damps interaction between positive and negative conductors, and an external carbon-based noise-dissipation system reduces interference from outside.

Double Star-Quad geometry

The relationship between conductors defines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). However, even when these variables are kept within a reasonably neutral balance, the specific geometric relationship between conductors greatly affects the sound. “Star-Quad” geometry is not only significantly better than parallel conductors, but it’s also superior to the same conductors as a pair of twisted pairs.
