AudioQuest SLiP/DB-14/2

CL3/FT4 In-Wall & Direct Burial Rated Bulk Speaker Cable

SLiP 14/2 features Semi-Solid Concentric Packed conductors that reduce harshness and confusion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) has less grain junctions and lower distortion which preserves clarity and naturlness. SLiP 14/2's low-Inductance Spiral Geometry minimizes the sound going out-of-focus as length increases. The EasySLiP Minimalist Outer Jacket is UL-Rated for in-wall use (CL3, FT4).

Key Features & Technology Explained

Semi-Solid Concentric conductors significantly reduce strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.

All internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.

All SLiP-DB models are numbered on the outer jacket in feet and in meters, numbers which count down from the outside so the installer (and accounting) always knows exactly how much cable is left.

Semi-Solid Concentric Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
In a conventional multi-strand cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic strand interaction is compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle. In an AQ Semi-Solid Concentric cable, strands within the bundle maintain their fixed relationships, significantly reducing distortion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.

• Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors: Semi-Solid Concentric conductors significantly reduce strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.
• Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Metal: High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.
• Direction-Controlled: All internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.
• PVC Insulation: PVC minimizes energy absorption for clearer sound.
• Long-Grain Copper construction: Helps eliminate harshness and enhance signal clarity.
• PVC jacket material: Protects the interior cable and components from dust, moisture and breakages.
• In-wall rated: For flexible installation options.
• Direct Burial: The SLiP-DB series features the same superb conductors as were employed in the FLX and SLiP series: but with an even more slippery jacket that is also rated for Direct Burial.
