AudioQuest's budget-friendly speaker cable, Rocket 33, doesn't compromise audio excellence. With a unique blend of LGC and PSC Copper conductors in a new geometry, it delivers a smooth, open sound and impressive dynamic range. Core Technology & Build AudioQuest uses several proprietary technologies in the Rocket 33 to maintain signal integrity: Mixed Metal Conductors: It uses a combination of Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). The PSC has an incredibly smooth surface to reduce the "harshness" caused by grain boundaries in the metal, while the LGC keeps the price more accessible. Double Star-Quad Geometry: The internal layout of the wires is designed to reduce interference. This geometry balances the relationship between conductors, which AudioQuest claims improves dynamic contrast and clarity compared to parallel wiring. Carbon-Based Noise Dissipation: The negative conductors are insulated with carbon-loaded polyethylene. This acts as a shield to "trap" radio-frequency (RF) interference before it can get back into your amplifier and muddy the sound. Solid Conductors: Unlike standard stranded wire, the Rocket 33 uses solid cores to prevent "strand interaction," which is a common source of distortion in audio cables.
