Key Features
AudioQuest Type 9 Speaker Cable enhances the renowned sound quality found in the brand's Type series of cables by elevating the conductor material to Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) instead of standard copper. This significant upgrade results in a considerable improvement in audio performance, thanks to silver's superior electrical conductivity over copper. The new conductor efficiently transfers signals across the cable with reduced resistance, facilitating a smoother flow of information. As a result, less information is lost, providing a more direct and faithful listening experience that closely resembles the original source material.

The speaker cable model Type 4 was first introduced around 1983. It wasn’t the prettiest cable, but the performance advantage of its polypropylene insulation was dramatic and much appreciated. Several evolutionary steps later, the current version of Type 4 was introduced in 1995—a design whose foundation is so well balanced that it hasn’t changed since then—and still isn’t changing.
Types 9 Low-Distortion & Low-Noise speaker cable is essentially Type 4 with better metal, and with added layers and techniques of Noise-Dissipation for more effective noise control than any previous Type 4 iteration.In addition, Type-9 conductors are a little bigger than previous 4-series cables. The conductors are a little farther apart, reducing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%.Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of ear fatiguing transient intermodulation distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface Copper+ eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other premium coppers. The superior purity of PSC+ further minimises distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface Copper further eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other premium coppers.
AudioQuest Type 9 cable is terminated with SureGrip 500 connectors.
Eliminate harshness and confusion due to strand-interaction.
Carbon-Loading and Direction-Controlled conductors provide effective Noise-Dissipation, minimising noise modulation and amplifier distortion.
Balanced Star-Quad Geometry reduces time-smearing while preserving dynamics, and clarity.
