AudioQuest Husky XLR Subwoofer Cable

Husky XLR

Low-Frequency Subwoofer Audio Interconnect

Connect amplifiers, receivers, soundbars, and AVRs to a broad range of subwoofers with this AudioQuest Husky XLR subwoofer cable. Solid 5% Silver conductors minimise distortion, Polyethylene Air-Tubes preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Carbon-Based Multi-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise. The result is clearer, naturally beautiful music, intelligible dialogue, and thrilling sound effects.

Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid Conductors

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

5% Silver Metal

5% Silver-Plating is applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation.

Carbon-Based 4-Layer Noise-Dissipation

Alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

72v DBS Technology

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) saturates and polarises insulation, allowing clear, dynamic sound against a quiet “black” background.

Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation

Polyethylene Air-Tube's low-loss, high-air content design minimises the out-of-focus effect seen in other materials, ensuring optimal performance.

Direction Controlled

All conductors controlled for RF-noise directionality.

Solid 5% Silver Conductors

Solid 5% Silver-Plated Copper Conductors: A superbly cost-effective way to turn up the “sharpness” for a subwoofer, enhancing articulation and intelligibility.

Carbon-Based 4-Layer Noise-Dissipation

It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)

All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest’s Niagara Series of power products), ensures that radio-frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. AudioQuest, however, uses Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation on both conductors, for increased geometry stabilisation and improved clarity. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

Triple-Balanced Geometry

Our Triple-Balanced Geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the cable's shield is never used as an inferior conductor. Whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the cable's three conductors ensure that the positive and negative signals have equally superior, low-distortion conducting paths.
