AUDIOQUEST ROCKET 44 Banana Gold - Bi-Wire

Pair of canned power cables with Solid Copper PSC+ / Copper PSC conductors. 507 Gold Series Banana Connectors. Single Bi-Wire configuration

Available lengths: 3 metres. All other lengths on order.

Rocket 44 incorporates Perfect-Surface Copper + into its conductor mix. PSC + has fewer grain boundaries, which reduces the hardness of the sound. This carefully honed combination of PSC and PSC + allows Rocket 44 to offer a clear and faithful presentation.

FEATURES

Perfect Surface + (PSC +) / Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors: This cable uses a carefully finished combination of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and extremely pure Perfect-Surface Copper + (PSC +) conductors. The incredibly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates hardness and significantly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other branches. The extremely pure PSC + further reduces distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metallic conductor.

Double Star-Quad Geometry: The relationship between conductors defines the basic electrical values of a cable (capacitance and inductance). However, even when these variables are kept in reasonably neutral equilibrium, the particular geometric relationship between conductors has a significant influence on sound. Star-Quad geometry is not only far superior to conductors in parallel, but also to conductors of two twisted pairs themselves.

Carbon-based noise and crosstalk dissipation system: The negative conductors of this cable are covered with partially conductive carbon-filled polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces the radio-frequency waste fed into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in 'hash' and improved dimensionality that comes whenever RF interference is reduced in an audio circuit. In addition, a carbon layer dampens the interaction between positive and negative conductors, and a carbon-based external noise dissipation system reduces external interference.

Polyethylene foam insulation (for all positive conductors): Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Cable and circuit board insulation materials absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. The tower, however, uses air-expanded polyethylene foam insulation on both conductors. Since air almost absorbs energy and polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Foamed-PE, with its high air content, causes much less out-of-focus effect common with other materials.
