Reference Speaker Cable with PSC+ and DBS Technology
Ultra-low distortion conductive design
AudioQuest Type 9 is a premium speaker cable designed for Hi-Fi and high-end systems requiring maximum transparency and control. It uses Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, a form of ultra-pure copper with an extremely smooth surface to reduce grain distortion and improve microdynamics. The solid-core conductor construction eliminates the internal electrical interactions typical of multi-strand cables, preserving tonal coherence and soundstage focus. The result is cleaner, more detailed, and more three-dimensional sound.
Star-Quad geometry and impedance control
The Star-Quad Geometry configuration dramatically reduces inductance and improves load stability for the amplifier. This translates into greater bass control and improved transient response. FEP (Fluoro-Polymer) insulation ensures an extremely low dielectric constant, limiting energy absorption. The DBS 72V (Dielectric-Bias System) polarizes the insulation, further reducing dielectric distortion and improving signal clarity.
Electrical stability and long-distance performance
Type 9 is designed to maintain high performance even over long lengths. The combination of solid PSC+ , low resistance , low inductance , and controlled parasitic capacitance allows for stable and consistent transmission even with demanding speakers. The outer jacket is robust and flexible, suitable for both dedicated installations and high-end home systems. It is a cable designed for high-end electronics and reference speakers.
