AudioQuest Robin Hood BASS Cable
Best high-end cable for bi-wiring premium loudspeakers with precision.
The AudioQuest Robin Hood BASS speaker cable is engineered for the bass and midrange frequencies in bi-wireable or tri-wireable loudspeakers. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to minimize distortion and maximize linear RF Noise-Dissipation. The cable incorporates a Carbon-Based Linearized Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) and ZERO-Tech to eliminate impedance mismatches and ensure uncompressed current transfer. AudioQuest's RF/ND-Tech actively reduces induced radio-frequency noise, preventing it from interfering with sensitive audio circuits. The 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with Level-X RF Noise-Trap further enhances noise dissipation. Directionality is controlled to drain noise away from sensitive areas, and terminations are cold-welded for a pure connection.

What customers say
Customers consistently highlight the exceptional build quality and the transformative sonic performance of the Robin Hood BASS cable. Reviewers note a remarkable improvement in low frequency definition, offering tight, impactful bass that elevates the listening experience significantly. While the audio quality is universally praised as reference grade, the high price tag remains the central point of discussion. Sentiment suggests this cable is a premium investment, delivering elite performance for serious audiophiles who prioritize absolute clarity over budget constraints.
Know before you buy
The Robin Hood BASS cable is engineered specifically to handle the lower and midrange frequencies of bi-wireable or tri-wireable speakers. It is designed to be paired with the Robin Hood SILVER cable, which handles the high-frequency range, to provide a complete, optimized signal path for your speakers.
The 72v DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that saturates the cable's insulation. This reduces the time-smear and signal distortion that can occur in standard cables, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed sound.
ZERO-Tech eliminates the characteristic impedance of the cable, which prevents impedance mismatches between your amplifier and speakers. This ensures that current transfer remains uncompressed and dynamic, regardless of the load.
Yes, cold-welding avoids the use of solder, which is a common point of distortion and signal degradation. By using high-pressure contact, this method creates a more direct, pure connection between the conductor and the connector.
Yes, the conductors are specifically oriented to drain radio-frequency noise away from your sensitive audio components. You should follow the directional arrows printed on the cable jacket to ensure the noise-dissipation system functions as intended.
This cable is specifically optimized for the bass and midrange sections of bi-wireable or tri-wireable loudspeakers. If your speakers only have a single set of input terminals, this cable is not the ideal choice for your setup.
