At maPlatine.com, we have developed an exclusive that transcends this issue: the Audioquest Type 5 speaker cable equipped with SureGrip 100 Silver connectors, handcrafted in our workshops.
This unique partnership combines the technical excellence of Audioquest, the world’s leading audiophile cable manufacturer since 1980, with the renowned expertise of our technicians. The result? An exceptional cable that unlocks the true potential of your system, whether it’s your first Hi-Fi setup or a reference system.
Audioquest, 44 years of technical excellence
Founded in 1980 by William E. Low, Audioquest has established itself as a benchmark in the high-end audio industry, guided by the principle of “doing no harm” to the audio signal. This unique philosophy has shaped every innovation of the brand.
Technological milestones
| Year | Innovation | Impact |
| 1987 | Linear Crystal Conductors | First advanced metallurgy in the USA |
| 1988 | Patented HyperLitz Construction | Revolutionary geometry |
| 2004 | Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) | Revolution of “running in” |
| 2012 | DAC DragonFly | Democratization of nomadic Hi-Fi |
| 2018 | Gamme Mythical Creatures | Back to the sources of excellence |
Technologies exclusives Audioquest
The DBS (Dielectric-Bias System) system
This patented technology applies a high-voltage bias charge through a battery pack, saturating the insulator molecules for a “strikingly black” background with unexpected detail.
Advanced conductor materials
- PSC+ (Perfect-Surface Copper+) :Grain-free surface for optimized HF
- LGC (Long-Grain Copper) :Long crystallization, fewer barriers
- Solid conductors:Multi-strand distortion elimination
Type 5, the evolution of Audioquest expertise
The Audioquest type 5 rcable represents the natural evolution of the legendary Type 4, incorporating four decades of expertise in audio signal transmission. This new generation uses the same fundamental Star-Quad geometry as its predecessor, but incorporates several important performance improvements.
Star-Quad architecture
Audioquest’s Star-Quad geometry is a revolutionary approach to speaker cabling. Unlike conventional cables, this architecture uses four conductors arranged in a precise geometric configuration that:
- Cancels interference:Electromagnetic fields neutralize each other
- Reduces distortions:Elimination of parasitic interactions between conductors
- Optimizes transmission:Purer signal, preserved dynamics
- Improves stereo separation:More precise and three-dimensional sound image
Technical innovations of the Type 5
PSC+ (Perfect-Surface Copper+) and LGC conductors
Type 5 uses a refined combination of Perfect Surface Copper (PSC+) and Long Grain Copper (LGC) conductors. This technological alliance guarantees:
| Specification | Type 5 | Standard cable | Profit |
| Conductive surface | PSC+ grain-free | Rough surface | Optimized HF transmission |
| Structure grain | LGC (long grain) | OFC standard | Fewer crystal barriers |
| Distortion | Minimal | Variable | Superior sound purity |
| Noise rejection | Excellent | Limited | Darker background music |
Optimized geometry
Type 5 eatures conductors spaced slightly further apart than Type 4, reducing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%. This technical development results in:
- Increased transparency:Less veil, more details
- Preserved dynamics:Transients and faithful attacks
- Separation of plans:Improved stage depth and width
- Tonal naturalness: Restitution sans coloration
Full technical specifications
| Characteristic | Specification | Profit |
| Geometry | Star-Quad 4 drivers | Interference cancellation |
| Drivers | PSC+ / LGC solids | Optimized transmission |
| Isolation | Premium polyethylene | Dielectric stability |
| Shielding | High density copper braid | Protection RFI/EMI |
| Section | 2.5mm² per conductor | All power adaptation |
| Ability | 47 pF/m | Minimum amplifier load |
| Resistance | 7 mΩ/m | Negligible losses |
