AudioQuest Greyhound subwoofer cable

Greyhounds rarely bark, are very patient, show great attachment and affection towards their families, and display surprisingly friendly behavior towards people and other dogs.

SOLID 0.5% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are ideal for very high-frequency applications. Because these signals are so high-frequency, they travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. Because the surface is made of high purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but much closer in price to a solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost-effective way to produce very high quality subwoofer cables.

FOAM 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. Greyhound uses air-filled, foamed polyethylene insulation on both conductors because air absorbs virtually no energy and polyethylene is low-loss and has a favorable distortion profile. Thanks to the air in the foamed PE, it causes much less of the blurring effect that is common with other materials.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% screen coverage is easy. To prevent captured RF interference from modulating the device's ground reference, AQ's Noise Dissipation System is required. The noise-dissipation system prevents a significant portion of the RFI from reaching the device's ground plane.

HYPERLITZ COAX GEOMETRY: The Greyhound features a perfect circle of eight negative conductors spiraling around a single larger positive conductor, creating a cable with a large cross-sectional area that minimizes skin effect and provides low resistance.

COLD WELDED, GOLD PLATED CONNECTORS: This connector design allows connection without solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the bulk shells are stamped rather than machined, the metal can be selected for low distortion rather than machinability.

GROUNDING: Sometimes there is a hum problem when the subwoofer and AV receiver (or surround sound processor) are not connected via a separate cable. If your system has a hum problem, try attaching the small wire lugs to the metal housing of the subwoofer amplifier and to the housing of the sending component. Normally this additional wire is not needed.
