Features

  • Irish Red The Irish Setter is a distant ancestor of the Spanish Pointer and is actually a mix of the English Setter, the Gordon Setter and the Irish Water Spaniel. Irish Setters are known for their friendly, funloving and outgoing temperament. These dogs have a natural love of exploring and enjoy a good game of fetch above all. This trait undoubtedly traces back to the Irish Setter's breeding to be useful to hunters on foot. Irish Setters' intelligence and naturally calm and friendly demeanor make them superbly suitable as therapy or support dogs.
  • SOLID 0.5% SILVER CONDUCTORS Solid conductors eliminate strandinteraction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silverplated conductors are excellent for very highfrequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of highpurity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very highquality subwoofer cables.
  • FOAMEDPOLYETHYLENE INSULATION Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Irish Red uses airfilled FoamedPolyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is lowloss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in FoamedPE, it causes much less of the outoffocus effect common to other materials.
  • METALLAYER NOISEDISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS) 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's NoiseDissipation System. NoiseDissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane. SYMMETRICAL COAX GEOMETRY Identical + and conductors prevent the shield being used as an inferior audio conductor.
  • COLDWELDED GOLDPLATED PLUGS This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability. GROUNDING Sometimes there is a hum problem unless the subwoofer and AV receiver (or surroundsound processor) are attached to each other using a separate wire. If your system has a hum problem, try attaching the little spadelug tails to the metal chassis of the subwoofer amplifier and to the chassis of the sending component. Usually, this extra wire will not be needed.

AudioQuest Irish Red Subwoofer Cable Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.

  • Very fragile looking, small guage cable
Added this subwoofer cable to my AV 5.1 system as I had a hum problem that occurs because AV electronics dont come with a ground wire/pin on their power cables anymore. Never had this problem when everything had a "safety" ground. Used to think it was a ground loop from CATV but I dont have CATV coax anymore. Streaming video to a Roku over wifi. Anyway this reddish colored cable fits in the AQ cables that I have my AV system plumbed with. AQ over the years has pretty much kept a color scheme for their families of cables all made or sold I should say to a price point. The names have changed over the years but the quality of the copper in each family has pretty much stayed the same. Was very surprised to see how small diameter this cable is and how fragile it looks. The drain wire is even more fragile looking. Plugged it in and grounded the AVP end to a copper chasis screw and the other end to ground terminal on my Vandy sub that I never had to use before. Hum is gone. Sub is bumping to Fourplay (yeah I know "Smooth Jazz"). I like it anyway. Cable works. Fits into my cable price and performance profile on my AV system. Life is good. ... show more

  • These are wonderful. I had a set of older Monster MCX ...
Dump MONSTERS cable now, These are wonderful. I had a set of older Monster MCX subwoofer cables attached to my Phase Technology PC 10 and a Bowers and Wilkins 10. This all connected an awesome NAD T-777 Reciever. I thought everything sounded great, I even have my subs on a set of AuraLex Subdude issolators. However, I talked with Audioquest about a different subject and asked them about these cables and he strongly recommend them. So I bought a pair. I did have to bump my gain on both subs by about one tick each, but the clarity difference is absolute. Rock and Metal music bass has actual tonality now, with the monster cables it was more like a muddy presence of bass. Action movies now have much more impact instead of a rumbling mess. I have to agree with the Audiophiles, great cables like Audioquest are the seventh component. I already have Audioquest Forest HDMI and that change floored me by how much difference in Claire they made and not just in video but audio too. I know, I know HDMI a is a digital standard and audio shouldn't make a difference. well I'm here to tell you, AQ HDMI cables really make an overall difference. That led me to upgrade my old monster interconnect to AQ and there, when I changed from monster m100 RCA interconnects to AQ Golden Gate, I had a 5 Db gain from my Rega Turntable and NAD phono stage. That's not even mentioning the added clarity and increased sound staging. Bottom Line . . . dump you old Monster Cables and take a look at AudioQuest stuff. Hope this helps ... show more

  • As advertised
Seem to sound nice;although I haven't compared them to other cables. The 3 meter length is handy for sub placement options.
