AudioQuest Type 9

Reference speaker cable with PSC+ and DBS technology

Ultra-low-distortion conductor design

AudioQuest Type 9 is a high-end speaker cable designed for Hi-Fi and High End systems that demand maximum transparency and control. It uses Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, an ultra-pure copper with an extremely smooth surface that reduces grain distortion and improves micro-dynamics. The solid-core conductor construction eliminates the internal electrical interactions typical of stranded cables, preserving tonal coherence and soundstage focus. The result is a cleaner, more detailed and more three-dimensional sound.

Star-Quad geometry and impedance control

The Star-Quad Geometry configuration drastically reduces inductance and improves the stability of the load seen by the amplifier. This translates into greater bass control and better transient response. The FEP (Fluoro-Polymer) insulation ensures an extremely low dielectric constant, limiting energy absorption. The 72V DBS (Dielectric-Bias System) polarises the insulation, further reducing dielectric distortion and improving the naturalness of the signal.

Electrical stability and performance over long runs

Type 9 is designed to maintain high performance even over long lengths. The combination of solid PSC+, low resistance, low inductance and control of stray capacitance allows stable, coherent transmission even with demanding loudspeakers. The outer jacket is rugged and flexible, suitable both for dedicated installations and for high-level domestic systems. It is a cable conceived for refined electronics and reference loudspeakers.
