Key Features
The AudioQuest Type 2 Speaker Cable is a pair of 2 metre unterminated lengths designed for flexible, custom hi-fi setups where you want full control over your connections. Supplied without pre-fitted connectors, these cables let you tailor terminations to suit your system, whether you prefer banana plugs, spades, or bare wire. This makes installation easier in more bespoke systems, while also helping you achieve a cleaner, more secure connection.
Inside, solid long grain copper conductors are used to reduce distortion caused by strand interaction, helping your system deliver clearer and more natural sound. The star quad geometry improves how the signal is carried, which helps maintain detail and separation in your music. Spread Spectrum Technology further refines performance by reducing inconsistencies across frequencies, so you hear a more balanced and controlled sound from your speakers.

The AudioQuest Type 2 speaker cable has roots that lead back to the 80's. All four internal conductors are solid, electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the single greatest source of distortion. Solid conductors are the most important ingredients enabling Type 2’s very clear sound.
Type 2’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound in relation to 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. All four of Type 2’s conductors are solid. Type 2 very simply keeps this effect out of the audio range by using conductor sizes that are below the threshold for audible distortion.
The relationship between conductors defines a cable’s most basic electrical values capacitance and inductance. However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly effect the sound. The Star Quad construction of Type 2 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel.
Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any particular size does have a sonic signature. SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character flaws by using a precise combination of different size conductors. The different SST-determined conductor sizes used in Type 2 allow an exceptionally clear, clean and dynamic sound.
A quality cable demands a quality termination. Stripped bare wire and even DIY plugs leave the copper conductors exposed to signal-degrading oxygen which will require the cable to be re-terminated over time. AudioQuest Type 2 speaker cable can be specially terminated with a range of plug crimp options, which seals in the copper leaving a neat connection. We also apply the AudioQuest termination pants to give a professional finish.
