About This Item

AudioQuest Rocket 88 Bi-Wire speaker cable is the flagship model of the company’s versatile Rocket Series. It shares several outstanding design elements with its award-winning siblings, but significantly improves overall performance with its higher-purity conductor metal and patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System. Appropriate for bi-wirable speaker systems and terminated with high-quality silver-plated banana plugs, AudioQuest Rocket 88 is a high-performance speaker cable resolving enough for most high-end audio systems. Rocket 88 uses only AudioQuest’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. Like other models in the Rocket Series, Rocket 88 features AudioQuest’s effective Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, and, as with all AudioQuest cables, the conductors in Rocket 88 are Direction-Controlled to minimize the damaging effects of radio-frequency noise. Taking noise-dissipation even further, Rocket 88 adds AudioQuest’s patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS), which minimizes dielectric noise and improves wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise. Whenever possible, running separate cables to the treble and bass portions of a bi-wirable loudspeaker significantly reduces distortion. For these applications, an AudioQuest cable like Rocket 88 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 88 is an outstanding choice for high-performance audio systems.

  • Solid 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.
  • 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS): AudioQuests patented 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) minimizes dielectric noise and improves wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise.
  • Ultimate Audio Performance: The AudioQuest Rocket 88 Single BiWire speaker cable is crafted to deliver cleaner, clearer, and more naturally beautiful sound, enhancing your high-performance stereo system with world-class audio clarity.
  • Exceptional Home Audio Benefits: Incorporating Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors and a unique Double Star-Quad configuration, the Rocket 88 reduces distortion, providing exceptional sound clarity and depth whether you're streaming music or playing vinyl records.
