AudioQuest HUSKY5M 16.4 Feet Husky Subwoofer Cable
Features
- Solid 5% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality subwoofer cables - 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 (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. All of Husky's conductors use PE Air-Tube Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE Air-Tube Insulation causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials - Dielectric-Bias System (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1)
All insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check - Carbon-Based 4-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane - Triple-Balanced Geometry
The three conductors in "Triple-Balanced" Husky cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor - Cold-Welded Hanging-Silver Directly Over Pure Red Copper System
This plug design enables a perfect heat-free connection between cable and plug. The connection between the plug and conductors is made using AQ's Cold-Welded System, which provides a superior connection that ensures that the structural integrity of the conductor is kept completely intact. The Cold-Welded System refers to a combination of high pressure at the point of contact and the use of copper- or silver-impregnated paste. (Husky's silver conductors get silver paste.) XLR plugs are also available - Grounding
Sometimes there is a hum problem unless the subwoofer and AV receiver (or surround-sound processor) are attached to each other using a separate wire. If your system has a hum problem, try attaching the little spade-lug tails to the metal chassis of the subwoofer amplifier and to the chassis of the sending component. Usually, this extra wire will not be needed - 5 Meters (16.4 Feet)

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The conductors are solid and composed of 5% silver over pure red copper. This design eliminates strand-interaction distortion and reduces jitter, providing high-frequency signal performance close to that of solid silver cables but at a more affordable price.
-
Polyethylene air-tube insulation is used to minimize energy absorption and distortion. Air absorbs almost no energy and polyethylene has a low-loss distortion profile, reducing the out-of-focus effect and preserving signal clarity significantly better than traditional solid insulation materials.
-
The Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) creates a stable electrostatic field that organizes the molecules within the insulation, reducing energy storage and nonlinear time delays. This results in clearer sound from a blacker background with increased detail and dynamic contrast.
-
The Carbon-Based 4-Layer Noise-Dissipation System provides 100% shield coverage to block radio frequency interference (RFI). Metal and carbon-loaded synthetics prevent RFI from modulating the equipment's ground reference, ensuring cleaner audio signals.
-
Triple-balanced geometry ensures that positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion paths through the three conductors. This design maintains 100% shield coverage without using the shield as a conductor, contributing to superior signal integrity.
