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.
A: Those are Best Buy part numbers, so you should check with them to be certain. The first part number refers to Rocket 44, Full Range (i.e. non-biwire). I suspect "sn" means a single cable. The second part number refers to Rocket 44, SBW (Single BiWire). The "s" may refer to "single" or it may refer to "spade" termination. Please confirm with Best Buy.

AudioQuest's Flat Series speaker cable is built around a Semi-Solid Concentric design. While this is not as transparent as AudioQuest's Solid-Core Conductors, Semi-Solid wire is significantly more resolved than conventional stranded bundle wire.

Ensure clear transmission with this AudioQuest Black Lab BLAB05 subwoofer cable that utilizes solid long-grain copper conductors that reduce distortion for a crisp signal. Nitrogen-injected insulation minimizes timing errors for quality sound reproduction.

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve “Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide. With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc. In addition, ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.
