A Major (and Majorly Affordable) Upgrade from Stock Subwoofer Cables: AudioQuest Black Lab Reduces Timing Smears, Enhances Clarity, and Includes Noise Dissipation System While Black Lab happens to be AudioQuest 's most affordable subwoofer cable , it'll trounce the performance of your stock or box-store coaxial interconnect. The cutting-edge design significantly reduces timing smears that rob your subwoofer of the startling low-frequency impact it was made to produce. In addition, its air-filled polyethylene insulation improves focus to a degree that makes lesser cables sound fuzzy by comparison. Built to work within today's electronically noisy environments, Black Lab holds annoying radio-frequency signals and equipment-generated electromagnetic interference at bay with AudioQuest's proprietary metal-layer Noise Dissipation System (NDS) . In addition, solid, long-grain (LGC) conductors remove strand interaction, resulting in greater sonic clarity and a more musical presentation. Add to all that technological innovation Black Lab's low-distortion cold-welded plugs and a handy grounding tail to eliminate all-too-common hum problems, and you have a budget-friendly cable custom-designed to unleash your subwoofer's true potential. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed. Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Black Lab's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit
