AudioQuest ThunderBird BASS
The AudioQuest ThunderBird BASS speaker cable is engineered for the bass and midrange inputs of bi-wirable or tri-wireable loudspeakers, complementing the ThunderBird ZERO cable for treble frequencies. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to prevent strand interaction and minimize distortion. The cable incorporates a Carbon-Based Linearized Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) and ZERO-Tech to eliminate impedance mismatches and ensure uncompressed current transfer. Additionally, the RF/ND-Tech actively dissipates RF noise from the ground leads, significantly reducing distortion and signal masking for a cleaner audio experience.
