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.
