Great Sounding, Low Price Bulk Speaker Cable with AudioQuest Technology
The AudioQuest X2 is a directionally-controlled 14 AWG speaker cable built around a Semi-Solid Concentric design. This affordable speaker cable is sold in bulk without termination. Terminate it yourself and save, compared to buying cables that are already terminated. Plus, you can cut this bulk cable to exactly the lengths you need.
AudioQuest X2 is ideal for a wide range of audio applications, including home theater, hi-fi, and multi-room use, and it sounds great for its low price. Its flexibility makes it easy to install,
"Clarity and Cleanness"
"Can you hear the difference? Yes. I get that question a lot on speaker cables. From a standard cable to this type of cable, definitely," notes AB's Sound Advice channel on YouTube. "The main thing you notice when you upgrade your cables [to X2], you're going to notice the clarity, the cleanness… mainly in the bass and the treble sound of the spectrum."
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors
X2 has Semi-Solid Concentric conductors that significantly reduce strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.
In a conventional multi-stranded cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic interaction are compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle as the cable is twisted or flexed. Thanks to X2's concentric semi-solid conductor array, strands within the smaller, tighter concentric bundle do not change position, significantly reducing distortion.
Long-Grain Copper Minimizes Distortion
X2's 14 awg conductors are made of LGC Long Grain Copper. These high-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries, contributing to the excellent sonic performance for the price.
Directionality
Because all drawn metal is directional, all audio cables are directional. AudioQuest analog and digital audio cables are all controlled for RF-noise directionality. Please use the cable with the arrows pointing from the source to the receiver or other component.
The jacket is gray or white PVC with a red stripe on one side (indicating the positive), which helps you make the correct connection.
