    The Cable with Remarkable Clarity

    Hear all the details that lesser speaker cables veil with Audioquest Type-8. Type-8 boasts exceptionally pure solid copper conductors, sophisticated Circular-Array Geometry, and premium PK-silver spade termination.

    Only the Purest Copper Conductors

    Type 8 uses a carefully finessed combination of Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and extremely high purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors.

    All conductors are solid, which prevents strand interaction, a major source of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor.

    LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. The astonishingly smooth and pure PSC further eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.

    Sophisticated Circular-Array Geometry

    The relationship between conductors defines some of a cable’s basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). Independent of these values, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly effect performance. The circular-spiral construction of Type 8 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and clarity than if the same conductors were run in parallel or as multiple twisted pairs.

    Spread Spectrum Technology (SST)

    Any single size or shape of conductor has a characteristic distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, each size still has a sonic signature. Type 8 uses a precise combination of four different size conductors in order to significantly reduce the audibility of these character flaws.

    Highest Quality Terminations

    Superior AudioQuest connectors allow Type 8 to be securely attached to any type of equipment. AQ ends are dull looking because there is no harsh sounding shiny nickel layer underneath the silver. AQ silver-coated PK-spades are soft because pure stamped copper is much better than machined brass.
