AudioQuest BigFoot Bass-Only Speaker Cable w/ RF/ND-Tech for Midrange and Bass

• BiWiring: BigFoot with RF/ND-Tech is the ideal Bass-Only cable for the Bass and Midrange inputs of either a BiWireable or TriWireable loudspeaker when used in combination with Lone Ranger or Athena ZERO-Tech speaker cables. A BiWire Combo with Bass-Only and ZERO cables joined together at the amplifier end is usually most convenient, though joining them is optional. Do not Double-BiWire with two ZERO-Tech cables. Your amp will distort.
• RF/ND-Tech: A cable’s ground leads act as an antenna, making them subject to induced Radio-Frequency (RF) noise. AudioQuest’s RF-on-ground Noise-Dissipation Technology greatly reduces the resulting distortion and signal masking, yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth of radio frequencies possible. The unique circuit design uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array, providing linear noise dissipation across the entire length of the cable.
• ZERO-Tech: The only complete way to eliminate characteristic-impedance mismatches between a cable and the attached source and load is for the cable not to have any fixed characteristic-impedance value. ZERO-Tech accomplishes this by eliminating interaction between the insulation (dielectric) and the cable’s conductors—enabling uncompressed current transfer. All-important transient current is unrestricted, and RF Noise-Dissipation is linearized (consistent octave to octave).
• Solid PSC+ (Perfect-Surface Copper+) Conductors: Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion. Extreme-purity PSC+ solid copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes RF Noise-Dissipation.
• 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with RF Noise-Trap: Insulation is also a dielectric that acts like a shunt-filter. Biasing the dielectric both minimizes dielectric-noise and linearizes the filter, significantly improving wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced noise.
• Perfect-Surface Silver Shield Drains: Significantly aid in the efficient dissipation of RF-Noise.
• Permanent Molecular Optimization (PMO): PMO is a controlled extreme stressing of the dielectric materials — a near-death experience for them — that significantly and permanently (unlike running-in) helps the cable get out of the music's way. PMO does not replace the important aural benefit of playing music over extended periods of time. Music (modulated AC signal) slightly stresses the dielectric and connection interfaces, significantly benefitting cable performance.
• Extremely Pure Red-Copper Spades or Bananas are Cold-Welded. The bare parts are submerged (hung) in silver instead of being tumbled in a lower-grade solution. Speaker breakouts and plug casings are ABS, not metal, to avoid inducing RF Noise into the conductors.
• Directionality: All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion.
