AudioQuest SLiP/MAX-14/2 CL3/FT4 In-Wall & Direct Burial Bulk Speaker Cable

  • Perfect-Surface Copper+ and Long-Grain Copper: SLiP/MAX uses a carefully finessed combination of extremely pure Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and high-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC). Compared to common conductor metals, LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, fewer impurities, and fewer grain boundaries for lower noise and distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure PSC+ further eliminates harshness and greatly increases natural warmth, resolution, and clarity.
  • Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors: In a conventional multi-strand cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic strand interaction is compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle. In an AQ Semi-Solid Concentric cable, strands within the bundle maintain their fixed relationships, significantly reducing distortion.
  • Low-Inductance Spiral Geometry: The low-inductance spiral conductor geometry used in AudioQuest's SLiP/MAX-14/2 speaker cables enables greater clarity and resolution, minimizing the common effect of sound losing focus as cable length increases.
  • Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation: AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation technology reduces the negative impact of external RF interference, resulting in clearer, fuller sound with greater overall dimensionality.
  • Easy-to-Pull, Easy-to-Read PVC Jacket: AudioQuest SLiP cables feature an easy-to-pull CL3/FT4-rated jacket with easy-to-read feet and meter markers for stress-free in-wall and underground installations.
  • Direction-Controlled Conductors: 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. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest’s multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.

  • Short DescriptionSLiP/MAX-14/2 takes everything that makes AudioQuest's in-wall cables so attractive to installers—the easy-to-pull CL3/FT4-rated jacket with clearly visible feet and meter markers—and adds maximum AQ performance in the form of carefully applied materials and design elements. The net result is simply the highest performing, easiest-to-install CL3/FT4-certified line of speaker cables in the business!
    Long DescriptionSLiP/MAX-14/2 takes everything that makes AudioQuest's in-wall cables so attractive to installers—the super-slippery, easy-to-pull CL3/FT4-rated jacket with easy-to-read feet and meter markers—and adds maximum AQ performance: An exceptionally refined combination of Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors affords performance approaching that of the purer PSC+, but at a lower cost. Like all AudioQuest cables, SLiP/MAX's conductors are controlled for low-noise directionality—an uncommon and labor-intensive design element even in the world of audiophile cables, rarer still for a custom-install design. In addition, carbon-layer noise-dissipation works to reject RF-noise while the latest evolution of AQ's concentric conductor geometry significantly improves clarity and resolution by further minimizing the distortion caused by strand interaction. The net result is simply the highest performing, easiest-to-install CL3/FT4-certified line of speaker cables in the business!
