About This Item

AudioQuest Rocket 44 Full-Range speaker cable shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning sibling, the smaller-gauge Rocket 33, but improves overall performance with its higher-purity conductor metal. Appropriate for full-range speaker systems and terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 44 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. 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.
  • Enhanced Audio Clarity: The Rocket 44 Full-Range Speaker Cable is designed to deliver clear sound by incorporating Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors. This results in reduced harshness, ensuring a faithful presentation of your audio.
  • Superior Home Audio Experience: With Perfect-Surface Copper+, the Rocket 44 enhances your home audio system by providing clearer and more dynamic sound, making your music streaming and vinyl playback more engaging and immersive.
  • Audiophile Sound Quality: Experience exceptional soundstage and dynamics with the Rocket 44's advanced features like silver-plated conductors and a sophisticated noise-dissipation system, appealing to high-fidelity enthusiasts.
  • Optimal Home Theater Performance: The Rocket 44 excels in multi-channel audio setups, ensuring outstanding performance in surround sound systems, making your movies and shows more immersive and enjoyable.
  • Built to Last: The Rocket 44 features durable materials like braided jackets and corrosion-resistant connectors, offering both high-quality sound and ease of installation for a long-lasting audio setup.
  • Upgrade Your Audio Experience: By enhancing clarity and deeply improving sound quality, the Rocket 44 Speaker Cable elevates your listening enjoyment, making now the perfect time to transform your audio system.

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: Again, very confusing lack of details on this listing. Is the price for a pair of cables or a single cable?

A: It is one speaker cable with one amp connection and biwire speaker connections. I bought it expecting a pair and will be returning it

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.
