AudioQuest BLACKLAB16M 52.5 Feet Black Lab Subwoofer Cable
Features
- Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Black Lab's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance - Foamed-Polyethylene 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. Black Lab uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials - Metal-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. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane - Symmetrical Coax Geometry
Identical + and – conductors prevent the shield being used as an inferior audio conductor - Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs
This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability - 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 - 16 Meter (52.5 Feet)

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cable uses Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, which provide smoother and clearer sound by reducing oxides and impurities. For insulation, it uses foamed-polyethylene, which contains a lot of air to minimize energy loss and reduce distortion, offering a very low-loss, high-fidelity insulation.
-
It features a Metal-Layer Noise Dissipation System (NDS), which prevents radio frequency interference (RFI) from affecting the audio signal and ground reference. Additionally, the cable has 100% shield coverage and symmetrical coax geometry to further reduce noise and eliminate undesirable signal modulation.
-
The cable comes with cold-welded gold-plated plugs. These connectors are solder-free, reducing distortion, and have low-distortion metal shells that are stamped rather than machined to maintain optimal signal integrity and durability.
-
This cable measures 52.5 feet (16 meters) in length, providing ample reach for home theater setups. It has a sturdy black finish and weighs approximately 1 pound, designed to withstand regular use while maintaining signal quality over long distances.
-
Yes, the cable includes a 1-year parts and labor warranty, offering peace of mind regarding its performance and reliability. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and issues encountered under normal use within the warranty period.
