SOLID LONG GRAIN COPPER/PERFECT SURFACE COPPER/PERFECT SURFACE COPPER+ CONDUCTOR (LGC/PSC/PSC+)

The audioquest Rocket 44 uses a carefully balanced combination of long-crystalline copper, Perfect Surface Copper and extremely high-purity Perfect Surface Copper+. LGC has fewer oxides in the conductive material, fewer impurities, fewer grain boundaries and therefore offers significantly better reproduction.

The amazingly smooth and pure PSC also eliminates roughness and significantly increases clarity. The largest part of the Rocket 44's conductor mix is PSC+.

CARBON-BASED NOISE DISSIPATION (INSULATION)

The four negative conductors in the Rocket 44 are insulated with partially conductive carbon-based polyethylene. This remarkable material attenuates high frequency interference so that it is not conducted back into the amplifier. This provides the same sonic benefit of reducing jitter and improving spatiality as reducing RF garbage in an audio circuit.

The Rocket 44 uses polyethylene foam insulation on the positive conductors because air does not absorb energy quickly and polyethylene has low losses and a benign distortion profile. Thanks to the air in the PE foam, there is much less blurring than with other materials.

DOUBLE STAR QUADRUPLE GEOMETRY

The relationship between the individual conductors defines the basic electrical properties of a cable (capacitance and inductance). Even when these variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between the conductors can vary in a way that greatly affects the sound. The Rocket 44's Double Star Quad design enables significantly better dynamics and information clarity than running the same conductor in parallel.

SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST)

Each individual conductor and each bundle of conductors has its own specific distortion profile. Although radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the least amount of irregularities, each conductor of a certain size leaves a sonic footprint. SST is a method of significantly reducing these characteristic weaknesses by using a precisely determined combination of conductors of different sizes.

The different conductor sizes used in the Rocket 44, determined using SST, enable the exceptionally clear, pure and dynamic sound.
