AudioQuest Type 5 Full-Range

Speaker Cable w/ SureGrip 300 Connectors

Type 5 is a direct descendant of our longtime high-value workhorse, Type 4, uses the same fundamental Star-Quad geometry as its predecessor but incorporates several important performance upgrades

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

A carefully finessed combination of our high-purity Long-Grain Copper and highest-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," minimizing RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

Star-Quad Geometry reduces time-smearing while preserving dynamics, and clarity.

Foamed-Polyethylene's high air content minimizes energy absorption for clearer sound.

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

Additional Details

AudioQuest's Type 5, a direct descendant of our longtime high-value workhorse, Type 4, uses the same fundamental Star-Quad geometry as its predecessor but incorporates several important performance upgrades: Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Sonic-Signature conductors have been added to ensure a smoother, more natural sound. The outer diameter of the cable has increased, allowing more space between the individual conductors, decreasing distortion-causing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%. While Type 5 is a superb full-range cable, it can also be doubled up to work as a very effective Double-BiWire combination cable. Type 5 is available in a black and brown braid, terminated with AudioQuest's high-quality SureGrip 300 connectors, or on spools—either braided or with a CL3/FT4 red-striped black PVC jacket.

Key Highlights

• Solid perfect-surface copper and long-grain copper conductors
• Noise-Dissipation using carbon loading, and direction-controlled conductors
• Balanced star-quad geometry reduces time-smearing while preserving dynamics and clarity
