AudioQuest Rocket 22 Speaker Cable (Pair) A 12-gauge PSC/LGC full-range cable A clearly audible step up from Rocket 11, Rocket 22 offers a big conductor to fully convey the weight and dynamics of your music signal. Rocket 22 uses semi-solid concentric conductors which are a far-superior performance alternative to typical stranded conductors. Semi-solid concentric conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. The strands maintain their fixed, rigid relationships, reducing distortion, improving resolution and dynamics, and greatly minimizing harshness and confusion due to strand interaction.Long-grain copper has fewer oxides within the conducting material, fewer impurities, fewer grain boundaries, and definitively better performance than standard OFHC copper. LGC is used for the central conductors, and PSC, with its astonishingly smooth surface, is used for the outer-layer of conductors--the ones that have the most effect on clarity and smoothness. Careful application of PSC and LGC enables performance closer to using only the more expensive PSC, while gaining the economic advantage of the superb LGC.Rocket 22 is prepared with SureGrip 300 spades or bananas. These connectors feature silver over copper with no layer of nickel in between. Specifications Metal: Semi-solid perfect-surface copper (PSC), long-grain copper (LGC) Gauge: 12 AWG Geometry: Double spiral pair Dielectric: PVC Noise dissipation: Carbon based
