AudioQuest G-2 per meter

The speaker cables in the AudioQuest Flat Series are based on a semi-solid concentric design. Although this does not provide the same transparency as the AudioQuest solid conductors, the semi-solid conductors have a significantly better resolution than conventional multi-core cables.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC-Wrapped CONDUCTORS: Semi-solid concentric-wrapped conductors are used as a cost effective and flexible alternative to multi-core cables in a number of AudioQuest power cords and speaker cables. Semi-solid concentrically wrapped conductors use fewer, but thicker conductors that do not change position along the long axis of the cable. While solid conductors provide a complete solution to multi-core deformation, semi-solid concentrically wrapped conductors prevent many of the deformation mechanisms of multi-core conductors.

LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC): Cables with LGC provide smoother and clearer sound than cables using plain OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a generic metal industry specification that only looks at “loss” without regard to distortion. LGC has fewer oxides in the conductive material, fewer impurities, fewer interfaces between the copper atoms, and certainly offers better audio performance. G-2 cables use LGC conductors with a semi-solid concentric structure.

SPREAD-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST): Each size or shape of a conductor has a specific distortion profile. Although radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the fewest interruptions, each conductor has a specific tonal character. SST is a way to reduce the perception of these sound characteristics by using a precisely determined combination of conductors with different
