AudioQuest CV-4 speaker cables feature an innovative design and top-quality materials to help your high-performance audio system deliver optimal sound. AudioQuest takes their own innovative approach to cable design based on years of in-house research, carefully engineering their cables to transfer signals as faithfully as possible.
Solid conductors improve accuracy and clarity
Each of the cable's four conductors is a single, unbroken strand of pure copper, which ensures highly efficient signal transfer with minimal loss. Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interference that can add brittleness to the sound with multi-strand conductor cables.
Precise cable geometry
The CV-4 uses two 17-gauge and two 20-gauge conductors. This difference in diameter reduces the possibility of distortion caused by any particular conductor's sonic "signature." A specialized spiral arrangement of the four conductors minimizes potential signal interaction, resulting in sound that's clearer and more dynamic.
Dielectric-Bias System
Most higher-end cables require a break-in period before they perform their best. A charge builds up in the insulation through continual use, increasing the efficiency of the cable. This charge can dissipate when the cable's not in use, giving you less than optimal performance until it builds up again.
AudioQuest's Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) eliminates this break-in period. A small battery pack attached to the cable polarizes the insulation with a 48-volt charge, giving you clear, expressive sound from your system every time you turn it on. This also helps eliminate the time delay that can create audio jitter.
High-quality connectors eliminate the weakest link
The CV-4 cables feature banana plugs, fastened by cold welding — a process that uses high pressure and copper paste to minimize signal loss. By contrast, solder tends to impede the signal, and heating the copper can negatively affect its conductivity.
