Features
  • Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ & Perfect-Surface 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.

    Essential for Excellent Audio

    I have often heard that the cables makes a huge difference in the sound quality of a system. I was using decent 14-gauge braided speaker wire with Pre-attached banana clips from Crutchfield (basic, decent speaker braided speaker cable). I noticed a very slight improvement in sound with the Crutchfield cables over basic 16-gauge wire. I purchased these AudioQuest Rocket 44 cables for my front L/R channel floor standing speakers (Focal Chorus 716). I was in absolute disbelief the difference these cables make. Details are so much more vibrant, less distortion, better quality, more consistent quality.... I am in awe at the difference these cables make. As far as other variants, I choose middle of the road. My primary retailer recommended the Rocket line over the Type-4 or higher end lines. So I went with the Rocket 44. I recommend visiting the AudioQuest website to read about the differences in the models. I’ve always found with reputable companies, like AQ, you get what you pay for. The difference in sound quality with these cables is remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.

    AudioQuest Quality Is Number 1

    In the world of interconnects AudioQuest products are respected throughout the audiophile family. There are always more expensive speaker cables which promise a lot more, and yet the Rocket 44 series can compete with the best of them. All of the AudioQuest interconnects are built well and are worth every penny!

AudioQuest Rocket 44 Bi-Amp speaker cable is a perfect choice for audio systems that employ a power amp or receiver with the ability to assign channels, or two identical power amps or receivers, driving bi-wirable loudspeakers (those with two pairs of binding posts). While it shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning sibling, the smaller-gauge Rocket 33, Rocket 44 Bi-Amp significantly improves overall performance with its higher-purity conductor metal. Terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 44 boasts an unrivaled combination of performance and value — a versatile high-performance design resolving enough for high-end audio systems and practical enough for most home entertainment systems. Rocket 44 uses a carefully finessed combination of AudioQuest’s excellent Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and the company’s very best copper, Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), in a Double Star-Quad configuration designed to reduce distortion for cleaner, clearer, more naturally detailed sound. Further, Rocket 44 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 44 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 44 is an outstanding choice for all types of music, movies, and listening environments.

AudioQuest Rocket 44 Bi-Wire shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning sibling, the smaller-gauge Rocket 33, but improves overall performance with higher-purity conductor metal. Appropriate for biwireable speaker systems and terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 44 Bi-Wire is a versatile high-performance speaker cable resolving enough for high-end audio systems and practical enough for most home entertainment systems. Rocket 44 uses a carefully finessed combination of AudioQuest’s excellent Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and the company’s very best copper, Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), in a Double Star-Quad configuration designed to reduce distortion for cleaner, clearer, more naturally detailed sound. Further, Rocket 44 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 44 are Direction-Controlled to minimize the damaging effects of radio-frequency noise. Whenever possible, running separate cables to the treble and bass portions of a biwireable loudspeaker significantly reduces distortion. For these applications, an AudioQuest cable like Rocket 44 Bi-Wire keeps the large magnetic fields associated with bass energy out of the treble cable, allowing the delicate upper frequencies to travel a less disturbed path, like taking the waves out of the water when you swim. The result is smoother, clearer, more natural sound. With its thoughtful, time-tested combination of high-quality materials and design elements, AudioQuest Rocket 44 is an outstanding choice for all types of music, movies, and listening environments.
