AudioQuest Type 2 Speaker Cable 3m, Dark Grey Overview
The AudioQuest Type 2 Speaker Cable is ideal for listeners seeking clean, consistent audio performance in any sound system. Its Solid long-rain copper (LGC) conductors minimise distortion caused by strand interaction, delivering a smooth and precise listening experience. The Star-Quad geometry further enhances dynamic contrast and maintains the integrity of timing and detail in your audio, making it perfect for music or home cinema setups.
AudioQuest's Spread-Spectrum Technology reduces inconsistencies by combining conductors of varying sizes to balance the distortion profile. With built-in directionality control, the Type 2 cable ensures lower noise and improved signal clarity. Whether you're upgrading your existing setup or starting fresh, this cable provides reliable, high-quality sound reproduction.

Long Grain Copper
Type 2’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound in relation to cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. All four of Type 2’s conductors are solid. Type 2 very simply keeps this effect out of the audio range by using conductor sizes that are below the threshold for audible distortion.
Cable Geometry
The relationship between conductors defines a cable’s most basic electrical values capacitance and inductance. However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly effect the sound. The Star Quad construction of Type 2 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel.
Spread Spectrum Technology (SST)
Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any particular size does have a sonic signature. SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character flaws by using a precise combination of different-size conductors. The different SST-determined conductor sizes used in Type 2 allow for clear sound.
