About this product

AudioQuest Rocket 33 Full-Range is an award-winning speaker cable that boasts an unrivaled combination of performance and value. Appropriate for full-range speaker systems and terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 33 is a versatile high-performance speaker cable resolving enough for high-end audio systems, durable enough for studio use, and practical enough for most home entertainment systems. Rocket 33 uses a carefully finessed combination of AudioQuest’s Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors in a Double Star-Quad configuration designed to reduce distortion for cleaner, clearer, more naturally detailed sound. Further, Rocket 33 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 33 are Direction-Controlled to minimize the damaging effects of radio-frequency noise. With its thoughtful, time-tested combination of high-quality materials and design elements, AudioQuest Rocket 33 is an outstanding choice for all types of music, movies, and listening environments.

Features
  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper and Long-Grain Copper Conductors

    Solid conductors prevent electrical strand-to-strand interaction, a major source of distortion. The smooth surface of AudioQuests conductor metals nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to lesser materials.

  • Double Star-Quad Geometry

    The relationship between conductors defines a cables most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). AudioQuests Double Star-Quad geometry is vastly superior to conductors run in parallel as well as to the more common twisted pairs, resulting in less distortion.

  • Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System

    This cables negative conductors are covered with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene, which prevents radio-frequency noise being fed back into the amplifier. The reduction in external interference results in clearer sound and greater dimensionality.

  • Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation

    Most common insulation materials absorb energy, some of which is stored and then released as distortion. With its high air content and benign distortion profile, AudioQuests Foamed-Polyethylene causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

  • Direction-Controlled Conductors

    A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors assure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.

  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper & Long-Grain Copper Conductors

    Minimizes electrical interaction and distortion for a smoother, clearer audio experience compared to lesser conductor materials.

  • Double Star-Quad Geometry for Low Distortion

    Enhanced geometry reduces distortion and ensures a more consistent signal compared to parallel or twisted-pair designs.

  • Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation System

    Reduces radio-frequency interference for clearer sound and improved audio dimensionality by using Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene insulation.

  • Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation for Clarity

    Reduces energy absorption and distortion, resulting in a more focused and accurate sound with minimal interference.

  • Direction-Controlled Conductors

    Ensures noise is effectively drained for better signal clarity, a key part of AudioQuests Noise-Dissipation technology

  • Enhanced Listening Experience

    The AudioQuest Rocket 33 Full-Range Speaker Cable is designed to deliver a smooth, open sound with a dynamic range, enhancing your overall audio experience, whether for music or home theater setups.

  • Home Audio System Benefits

    LGC and PSC Copper conductors enhance clarity, depth, and dynamics, making it perfect for streaming music or enjoying vinyl records in your home audio system.

  • Optimized Soundstage

    Ideal for audiophile applications, the AudioQuest Rocket 33 utilizes Double Star-Quad geometry for superior soundstage, dynamics, and tonal accuracy, alongside its advanced noise-dissipation features.

  • Multi-Channel Audio Use

    noticeably good

    [Employee of bestbuy] I really wanted to try bi-wire speaker cables to see if I could tell a difference and I am glad I did. Improved imaging, depth and clarity - really enhanced mid range. Feels like I am hearing the music and details for the first time. My equipment consists of Marantz 40n amp, Rega Plannar 3 turntable and Martin Logan Motion 40 speakers. Nothing too fancy but I feel like these speakers cables are giving me the best performance I can get. It looks like the cables shipped directly from Audioquest. I really appreciate they sent right and left channel cables. I feel at this price point thats a detail that shouldn't be overlooked.

    Game changer

    Upgraded to bi wire on my Martin Logan esl x and noticed a much better sound stage. Depending on your setup you may or may not hear a difference, but if your speaker supports bi wire then why not take advantage of it.

    Terrible

    Poor Quality is all I can say. I purchased two sets of these and one was damaged and the other had a different set of banana plugs on it. Very displeased and wont be purchasing them again

    Rocket 33 15' Speaker Cable

    [Employee of bestbuy] The banana plugs fit snugly, so you can get everything set up fast and without a mess. The sound is crystal clear, and there’s no interference or signal loss. The cable feels strong and well-constructed, and the 15’ length worked perfectly for my setup. It’s a great deal for the price, and it’s super easy to install. I’d definitely suggest it for home audio systems.

    High quality speaker cable

    I'm using these speaker cables to connect my new Marantz NR1605 A/V receiver to my B&W CM10 tower speakers and B&W CM5 bookshelf (surround) speakers. I bought two sets of these 10' cables as well as a single 8' cable for my B&W CMC2 center channel. So far, I'm very happy with these cables. They seem very well-made. Granted, no one really sees them, so appearance isn't really a huge issue, but they do look very nice and add a professional look to my home theater setup. Plugging them into the back of my receiver and speakers was easy with the banana style connectors. When it was all said and done I spent approximately $1000 on speaker cables and a subwoofer cable. I didn't take time to compare what my speakers would have sounded like with traditional speaker wire. However, everything sounds great... whether that's due more to the fact that I bought expensive speakers, or that I invested in good speaker cables, I honestly don't know... Most likely, it's a combination of both. I did do a lot of research prior to taking the plunge in buying all these Audio-Quest cables, and audiophiles say that good speaker cables really do make a difference... and comparing prices of the Rocket 33 series to some of the super high-line Audio-Quest products, $1000 seems like a bargain for my entire 5.1 system.
