Fire

AudioQuest FireStereo Analogue Cable

Fire is 1.8mm thicker than its predecessor, which, as with the other Elements, allows for signicantly stronger Air-Tubes. The new dimension also makes room for an even more       efective 8-layer NDS compared to the 6-layer system employed in later production runs of its predecessor.

AudioQuest Fire Key Features:

• Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors
• Triple-Balanced Geometry
• Larger Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) Air-Tubes with 23% more air than the other Elements
• Carbon-Based 8 Layer Noise-Dissipation System
• 72V Dielectric-Bias System
• Black/Red Braid
• Double-Contact Cold-Welded reusable plugs, Hanging-Silver Plating directly over Machined Solid Extreme-Purity Red Copper (RCA or XLR)

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors prevent both strand-to-strand contacts and magnetic interaction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. While less perfectly processed silver can have the same irritating tweeter-in-your-face sound as silver-plated strands, PSS Silver’s smooth surface, extraordinarily careful processing, and high purity, deliver sound as smooth and beautiful as our PSC+ Copper, but with significantly higher resolution.

DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat S 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1): Creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This dramatically reduces dielectric induced smearing of the signal, letting sound emerge from a black background.

CARBON-BASED 8-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION (NDS): Shields-the-shield, reducing RFI contamination of the equipment ground plane.

FEP AIR-TUBES (FEP IS A FLUORO-POLYMER): Almost no contact between conductors and insulation reduces smearing and preserves dynamics.

TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: Proper ground-reference conductor prevents using the shield as an inferior ground-reference conductor.

DOUBLE-CONTACT COLD-WELDED REUSABLE PLUGS, HANGING-SILVER PLATING DIRECTLY OVER MACHINED SOLID EXTREME-PURITY RED COPPER.

DIRECTIONS: Because all drawn metal is directional, all audio cables are directional. AudioQuest analog and digital audio cables are all controlled for correct directionality. Please use the cable with the arrows pointing from source to receiver or component.
