Cable has a black/brown braided jacket up to 5 meters beyond that the finish is black/brown PVC.

MASSIVE 1.25% SILVERED GUIDERS: Solid conductors prevent mutual interference between wires in twisted pair cables and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are perfect for high-frequency applications. Those signals, because they have such a high frequency, transport themselves almost exclusively over the surface of the conductor. Because this surface is made of a very pure grade of silver, the performance is almost equal to that of a solid silver conductor, but is much closer to solid copper cables in terms of pricing. This is an incredibly cost-effective way to produce high-quality Subwoofer cables.

POLYETHYLENE AIR-TUBE ISOLATION: Any solid adjacent to a conductor is in fact part of a non-perfect circuit. Cable insulation and circuit board materials absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and released again as distortion. Boxer uses Air-Tube insulation for all conductors because air absorbs virtually no energy and Polyethylene has little loss and also has a favorable deformation profile. PE Air-Tube insulation causes far fewer out-of-focus effects than other materials.

CARBON-BASED, 3-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.

DOUBLE BALANCED GEOMETRY: Electrically separated shielding minimizes the influence on the negative conductor.

COLD WELDED HANGING-SILVER OVER PUUR RED-COPER SYSTEM: This plug design allows for a completely heat-free connection between the cable and plug. The connection between the plug and the conductor is made with the AQ cold-weld system which makes an optimal connection that leaves the integrity of the conductor completely intact. The cold-welding system refers to a combination of high pressure on the contact point combined with a paste impregnated with silver or copper. (For Boxer's silver conductors, we use a silver paste).

GROUNDING: Sometimes a hum problem can occur unless the subwoofer and the AV receiver (or a surround processor) are connected together with a separate wire. If your system has a hum problem, you can connect the spades of the ground wire to the metal chassis of the subwoofer amplifier and the chassis of the source component. But usually this extra wire is not necessary.
