It uses foamed-polyethylene insulation, a symmetrical coax geometry and a metal-layer Noise-Dissipation shield, and ends in cold-welded, gold-plated plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther length \u0026amp; termination options are available.

Solid conductors help eliminate strand-interaction distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSymmetrical Coax and a Shield That Shields the Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIdentical positive and negative conductors in the symmetrical coax geometry prevent the shield from being used as an inferior audio conductor. The metal-layer Noise-Dissipation \"shields the shield\", absorbing and reflecting most noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground. The insulation is foamed polyethylene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Plug\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe plugs are joined to the wire by high pressure instead of solder, which AudioQuest calls a common source of distortion. The ground shells are stamped instead of machined, so the metal can be chosen for low distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Subwoofer Cable Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want more articulation from your subwoofer\u003c\/strong\u003e — AudioQuest chose silver-plated conductors to enhance the intelligibility of bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a clean, quiet connection\u003c\/strong\u003e — the metal-layer shield and symmetrical coax geometry are built to keep noise out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a cable for most subwoofers\u003c\/strong\u003e — AudioQuest says Irish Red is compatible with most subwoofers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eHow Does It Connect to Your System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eConnect one end to the subwoofer output of your receiver, preamp or processor, and the other to the line-level input on your subwoofer. Push each plug straight on until it seats, and pull it off by the barrel, never by the cable.
