About This Item

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.

  • 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.
  • Enhance Your Listening Experience: Rocket 44 Speaker Cable with Single BiWire configuration delivers clean and clear sound, thanks to its Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, reducing harshness and optimizing your audio system's potential.
  • Clarity and Dynamics for Home Audio: Experience outstanding clarity and depth in your home audio system. Perfect-Surface Copper and Carbon-Based Noise Dissipation ensure a cleaner, clearer, more naturally dynamic sound for music or vinyl playback.
  • Perfect for Audiophiles: With its Double Star-Quad Geometry and Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation, this cable provides a world-class soundstage and tonal accuracy, making it an ideal choice for high-fidelity listening setups and audiophile applications.
  • Surround Sound Excellence: Rocket 44 excels in home theater systems, connecting receivers to speakers with precision. It supports immersive audio formats, ensuring your multi-channel audio delivers exceptional depth and dimension.
  • Built to Last and Easy to Install: Featuring durable SureGrip 500 connectors and high-quality materials, this cable is designed for ease of installation. Its sturdy build ensures long-lasting performance and reliability.
  • Elevate Your Audio Setup: Invest in the Rocket 44 to enhance your sound system. Its advanced technology and exceptional build quality ensure an unmatched listening experience, making it a smart choice for any audio enthusiast.

Q: Hi, could one kindly explain the difference between 'Rock448frsn' and 'Rock448sbws" ? Is this mean a single wire connection at each end for the first code or mixed: single and bi-wire connections at each end for the second code? Thank you.

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.

Q: Hi. $349.97 This price is for a pair. for 2 speakers?

A: This is for one single cable for one speaker.

Q: What is the wire gauge of the Rocket 44? 12 or 14?

A: 14 guage. Audioquest is the best!

Q: Does this cable have two connectors at the amp end and four connectors at the speaker end? Thanks.

A: Without more information or a picture, I cannot say. However, Single BiWire (4 connectors at the speakers end; two connectors at the amplifier end) versions of Rocket 44 are the exact same price as the Full Range (i.e. non-biwire) version. Just specify what you want when you place your order.

Q: Are both ends terminated or just one end?

A: Both "amp" and "speaker" ends.
