Audioquest Type 5 speaker cables

The Audioquest Type 5 speaker cables are the evolution of the famous Type 4 cables introduced initially in 1983! This Audioquest cable owes its success to its polypropylene insulation and mono-crystal conductors. The current version of the Type 4 was introduced in 1995 and has remained unchanged since.

The Type 5 speaker cable builds on the Type 4 technology, featuring higher-quality conductors and noise dissipation techniques.

AUDIOQUEST TYPE 5: FEATURES

The Type 5 utilizes a Star-Quad geometry that preserves timing information, thus maintaining dynamics and clarity.

The Audioquest Type 5 cable is terminated with SureGrip 300 series silver-plated banana plugs, ensuring excellent contact with very low resistance.

AUDIOQUEST TYPE 5: CONDUCTORS

The Type 5 cables feature slightly spaced conductors, reducing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%.

Conductors are made of Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+). This limits strand interaction, a major source of transient intermodulation distortion that can fatigue the ears. Perfect-Surface+ copper is extremely pure, eliminating harshness and significantly enhancing precision. High conductor purity minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries inherent in any metal conductor.

The speaker cable's conductors are insulated with partially conductive carbon-loaded polyethylene. This complex material reduces radio-frequency noise reflections back into the amplifier and absorbs electromagnetic interference.

AUDIOQUEST TYPE 5: TESTING AND LISTENING

The Audioquest Type 5 speaker cable delivers excellent definition and precision. The bass is tight and articulate, while the mid-high range is well-balanced and coherent with the bass.

The sound is precise yet smooth, without any aggressive peaks or emphasized sibilance.

Overall, the sound is very neutral and realistic.

This Audioquest Type 5 speaker cable is a best-buy and a worthy successor to the renowned Audioquest Type 4 speaker cable.

Excellent value for money, highly recommended!
