You Cannot Do Better for the Price: AudioQuest CV-4 Speaker Cables, Improve the Sound of Your Entire System, and Hear True Tonalities, More Detail, and Added Emotionalism
The rhythmic thrust and palpable solidity of a bass guitar, the smoothness and creaminess of a fabulous female vocalist, the startling punchiness and crisp crack of percussion: Hear it all, and many other facets embedded in your recordings, in attention-grabbing fashion with the AudioQuest CV-4 speaker cables. The extremely refined CV-4 will enhance the purity, clarity, and dimensionality you experience from everything from rock and pop to classical and jazz. Additionally, they will help your speakers and amplifier perform much closer to their respective peak ability by way of lowering distortion, eliminating discontinuities, and enhancing conductivity. In short, the addition of CV-4 will boost the sound of your entire system.
Before you connect them, the first thing you may notice about AudioQuest CV-4 speaker cables is the distinctive battery pack. Part of AudioQuest's patented Dielectric-Bias System, its 72V charge polarizes the insulation, minimizes noise, and removes any need for a break-in period. Four Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors that result in stellar signal preservation, Star-Quad Geometry to neutralize mutual interference, and cold-welded silver-plated banana plugs further the breathtaking performance of this high-value cable. Tuneful yet impactful, CV-4 delivers black backgrounds and true tonalities – drastically elevating the detail, imaging, faithfulness, and emotionalism of every piece of music you play. You simply cannot do better for this price – Music Direct Guaranteed.
"A rather neutral-sounding solid-core cable that John Atkinson recommends highly. Current version features AudioQuest's DBS technology."
—Stereophile, Recommended Component
"[CV-4] seems to have a nice solid bass with plenty of rhythmic impact, but also a pleasingly tuneful quality, and this makes for sound which grabs the attention and holds it well too...there is good detail and nice stable stereo imaging across the frequency range."
—Richard Black, Tech Radar
Solid Conductors
All four of CV-4's conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the single-greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty, and confused sound. Solid conductors are the most important ingredients, enabling CV-4s very clear sound. Whether a conductor is solid or stranded, skin-effect is a prime distortion mechanism in speaker cables. CV-4 keeps this effect out of the audio range by using conductor sizes that are below the threshold for audible distortion.
SST (Spread Spectrum Technology)
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. SST has enabled CV-4 to be the biggest possible four conductor cable that avoids audible skin-effect.
Highlights
Music Direct CryoAcoustic Treatment
Cables have long been renowned for providing unparalleled audio experiences. But did you know you'll hear even better sound and enjoy longer cable life with our cryogenically treated cable? We have invested in our own cryogenic machine, allowing us to do our own in-house testing with temperatures and ramp up/ramp down cycles to maximize the effects on the materials. Countless hours of listening tests have confirmed the advantages of CryoAcoustic Treatment.
The cryogenic process involves cooling materials to very low temperatures through the use of liquid nitrogen. Temperatures reach as low as -190 °C, and the process registers a profound impact on the mechanical properties of materials – particularly metals. Used in aerospace technology, medical tooling, musical instrument construction, critical automotive components, high-pressure cutting tools, and performance-critical sporting goods, cryogenics considerably improve the sonic presentation of vacuum tubes, cables, transformers, and other audio-related products – as well as their internal components. Resistance to corrosion, firmer hardening, and added strength are just a few of the scientifically proven effects of cryogenics. And while the sonic benefits cannot currently be scientifically proven, listening tests confirm an increase in acoustic resolution – which is why we call our process CryoAcoustic Treatment.
