Featuring upgraded conductor metallurgy, increased conductor spacing, and advanced multi-layer shielding, the Type 9 is engineered to minimize conductor interaction, lower the noise floor, and eliminate transient intermodulation distortion (TIM) between power amplifiers and loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable utilizes solid-core \u003cstrong\u003ePerfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+)\u003c\/strong\u003e conductors arranged in a balanced \u003cstrong\u003eStar-Quad Geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e. Compared to earlier 4-series iterations, the conductors in the Type 9 are slightly larger and positioned further apart—reducing cross-conductor interaction by 35%. Signal purity is protected by a multi-layer carbon-based Noise-Dissipation System and direction-controlled conductors to filter out RF interference and prevent mechanical time-smearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp; PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultra-pure solid-core copper eliminates strand interaction, grain-boundary distortion, and harshness to deliver superior clarity compared to conventional copper types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced Star-Quad Geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arranges conductors in a Star-Quad layout to preserve dynamic contrast, improve transient speed, and reduce time-smearing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35% Reduced Conductor Interaction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Increased physical spacing between individual conductors decreases electromagnetic cross-talk compared to previous 4-series cables.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Combines carbon-loaded synthetic shielding with direction-controlled conductors to absorb RF noise and keep it from modulating the amplifier's ground plane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirection-Controlled Signal Paths:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conductors are grain-oriented and directionally tested to ensure noise is dissipated away from sensitive system electronics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Category\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLow-Distortion \u0026amp; Low-Noise Loudspeaker Cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConductor Metallurgy\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSolid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConductor Geometry\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBalanced Star-Quad Geometry\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConductor Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSolid Core (Direction-Controlled)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNoise Dissipation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMulti-Layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCrosstalk Reduction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e35% Less Interaction Between Adjacent Conductors vs. Type 4 Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Application\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePower Amplifier to Loudspeaker Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAudioQuest (USA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"2m (banana plugs both ends)","offer_id":52707243196682,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8811","price":659.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5m (banana plugs both ends)","offer_id":52707243229450,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8812","price":709.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.0m (banana plugs both ends)","offer_id":52707243262218,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8813","price":759.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.0m (banana plugs both ends)","offer_id":52707243294986,"sku":"AUDIOQUEST-8814","price":859.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/audioquest-type-9-speaker-cable-ls-single-banana-plugs-32291-p_7b957151-84ba-4738-9d13-ceb008314989.png?v=1773483166","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/aq-type-9-ban","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
