'Slippery,' Flexible, Great Sounding In-wall Cable
Sometimes pulling cable through a wall can be a real pain. AudioQuest's new SLiP DB series of in-wall speaker cables has been designed to make this task easier. While there is no perfectly slippery cable, the materials and shape used by AudioQuest for SLiP DB make them the most slippery cables possible.
AudioQuest SLiP DB 14/4 is a 14 awg cable with four Semi-Solid Concentric Packed LGC Conductors that reduce harshness and confusion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) has less grain junctions and lower distortion which preserves clarity and naturalness. SLiP 14/4's low-Inductance Spiral Geometry minimizes the sound going out-of-focus as length increases.
The EasySLiP Minimalist Outer Jacket is UL-Rated for in-wall use (CL3, FT4).
Money-Saving Bulk Pricing
SLiP DB 14/4 cable is ideal for home theater use, multi-room installations, and more. Our affordable per-foot, bulk-cable pricing allows you to buy exactly the amount of unterminated cable you need for your particular application. No more. No less. Terminating the cable yourself instead of buying lengths of terminated cable can save you even more.
"Finesse, Subtlety, Dynamic Heft, and Punch"
AudioQuest SLiP DB 14/4 won a top rating of "Five Stars" and a "Product of the Year" award for 2012 from England's What Hi-fi? magazine. "If you're looking for a cable that does finesse and subtlety just as well as dynamic heft and punch, this is it."
"Rich, Punchy, and Enjoyable Music"
"Connected them to the Concept 20s and low and behold, bass, musical cohesion, rich, punchy, and enjoyable music coming from the speakers from my Marantz M-CR610," reports 14/4 user SIUK, forums.whathi.com, September 1, 2013.
Semi-Solid Concentric Packed LGC Conductors
Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors are used in some of AudioQuest's AC power and speaker cables as a cost-effective, flexible alternative to typical stranded conductors.
Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the complete solution to strand distortion, Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many of the distortion mechanisms of stranded conductors.
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 PVC with a red stripe on one side (indicating the positive), which helps you make the correct connection.
"Attention to Detail"
"AudioQuest's SliP design is not just optimized for ease of installation for in-wall use, it's also AudioQuest's attention to detail when it comes to offering a stranded conductor speaker cable suitable for in-wall use vs. their roots as one of the original audiophile-quality solid core conductor cable designers/manufacturers," reports Duster, audioasylum.com, February 13, 2019.
"I'm satisfied enough with the SLiP 14/4 until I decide to spend substantially more for a high-performance litz wire speaker cable product to take its place in my computer workstation system requiring long-length speaker cabling, which is a cost prohibitive situation for my particular wants/needs at this time."
