AudioQuest Type 5 REL Acoustics High-Level Subwoofer Cable

 

The Type 5 speaker cable from AudioQuest is fully customisable with any number of different connections. One such connection is the SpeakOn Neutrik plug for use with REL Subwoofers. By upgrading the High-Level sub cable supplied with your REL subwoofer to the Type 5 from AudioQuest you can hear all the benefits of AudioQuest's Type cable construction.

The speaker cable model Type 4 was first introduced about 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. Type 5's Low-Distortion & Low-Noise speaker cable is essentially Type 4 with better metal, and with conductors that are a little farther apart, reducing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%.

 

Features :

  • Solid Perfect-Surface+ Sonic-Signature Conductors
  • Carbon-Loading and Direction-Controlled Noise-Dissipation
  • Star-Quad Geometry
  • Gold or Silver Plated Terminations

  

Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors :

A finessed combination of grainless-sounding Perfect-Surface Copper+ Sonic-Signature conductors, plud Long-Grain Copper, enable a smooth and natural "lack-of-character". Solid conductors eliminate harshness and confusion due to reduced strand-interaction.

  

Carbon-Loading and Direction-Controlled Noise Dissipation

Carbon-Loading and Direction-Controlled conductors provide effective Noise-Dissipation, minimizing noise modulation and amplifier distortion.

  

Star-Quad Geometry :

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 affect the sound. The Star-Quad construction of Type 5 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel.

  

Gold or Silver Plated Terminations :

AudioQuest offers a wide range of high-quality connectors that allow Type-5 to be securely attached to any type of equipment. Quality is in the low-distortion sound, not necessarily in the eye-candy effect. AQ ends are either a dull looking gold or silver because these metals are plated directly over the connector. There is no shiny and harsh sounding nickel layer underneath. AQ spade plugs are soft because better metal is soft, and facilitates a higher quality connection. For pieces requiring a banana plug or BFA connector the AQ BFA/Banana provides unprecedented performance over conventional brass versions.

 

Specification :

  • Length: Custom
  • Metal: Perfect-Surface Copper+ & Long-Grain Copper
  • Geometry: Star-Quad
  • Jacket: Black/Brown Braid
  • Plugs: SureGrip Spade or BFA/Banana (Gold or Silver), SpeakOn Neutrik Connector

 

Termination

This cable is professionally terminated by AudioQuest's engineers using one of the following plug options:

  • Series 500 Gold-plated Banana or Spade
  • Series 500 Silver-plated Banana or Spade
  • Series 1000 Gold-plated Banana or Spade
  • Series 1000 Silver-plated Banana or Spade

The Suregrip 300 Beryllium Copper banana plugs offer high tensile strength and are superior sounding to phosphor bronze found on many banana plugs. The Series 500 plugs are made from 'Purple Copper' which is a higher-purity copper compared to the Suregrip 300 Beryllium copper and delivers improved sonic characteristics. The Series 1000 plugs are made from 'Red Copper' which is the highest purity copper in the AudioQuest range and are designed to deliver the very best sonic performance.

The coppers of the connector, just as in the speaker cable itself can lend to the cable sounding more detailed, wider soundstage, lowering of the noise floor and protection of the raw conductors. These benefits increase step by step as you progress higher up the series from the Suregrip 300 Beryllium Copper plugs to the Series 1000 Red Copper banana plugs. The plating process also changes as you move up the series, resulting in a thicker and more durable plating.

How to Order

From the dropdown menus' above, simply select the length of cable, the type of plugs required at the ‘Amplifier end’ and ‘Speaker end’ and click on the 'Add to Basket' button to add the item to your basket. Your cable will be dispatched as soon as it has been made by Future Shop's or the manufacturer’s engineers and has completed the specified burn-in process (if any), subject to Future Shop’s Terms & Conditions and stock availability.

About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

About AudioQuest

Californian cable maker covering analogue, digital, speaker and power cables, with patented conductor and dielectric designs.

AudioQuest is based in Irvine, California, and makes cables for nearly every connection in a system: analogue interconnects, USB, HDMI and Ethernet, speaker cables and AC power cables. Its designs come back to four ideas: solid conductors, directionality, noise dissipation and the quality of the metal.

Conductor and metal choices come first

Solid conductors and metal quality are two of the ideas AudioQuest returns to across its range. HyperLitz, a conductor construction patented in 1988, is another. Directionality, the principle that a cable is built to carry signal in one direction, is the fourth.

Noise is treated as a separate design problem

AudioQuest lists its noise-dissipation technologies as ZERO-Tech, RF/ND-Tech and the Dielectric-Bias System, which was patented in 2004. They are applied alongside the conductor work rather than in place of it, and which ones a cable carries depends on the model and its price.

One brand across the whole system

AudioQuest also makes AC power cables, Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners and DragonFly DACs alongside its analogue, digital and speaker cables. If you are building or upgrading a system, that means every cable in the chain, and the power feeding it, can come from one design approach.

Why we stock AudioQuest

We took AudioQuest on for HDMI. When the 1.4 spec arrived in 2009 they were the first supplier who could actually get the cables to us, at a point when almost nobody could. The power cables turned out to be just as good, and they are now a bigger part of what we sell than the HDMI ever was.

Improves the bass performance 8 April 2022
When I received my cable, I felt it was heavy and of good quality.

I replaced the factory cable and let it burn in for a week. Sunday morning, I played some music, and as usual, I felt the bass come out from my system more dynamic; I could hear the bass improvement.
