The QED Genesis Silver Spiral is an audiophile-grade speaker cable, the result of over 40 years of research and development by QED. This cable is designed to deliver exceptional sound quality by minimizing resistance and ensuring precise signal transmission.

Key Features

  • Aircore Technology™
  • Unique triple concentric spiral geometry
  • Concentric screen technology for interference immunity
  • 9 bunches of silver-plated 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors
  • Factory pre-terminated with Airloc Metal 4mm Banana Plugs
  • Recommended for High end installations

Detailed Description

Aircore Technology™

QED's Aircore Technology™ is employed in cables with a cross-sectional area above 2.5 mm² to counteract the skin effect. This is achieved by bundling several separately insulated smaller cores together, arranged around a hollow polyethylene core, reducing the cable’s self-inductance to about half.

Triple Concentric Spiral Geometry

The unique triple concentric spiral geometry of the Genesis Silver Spiral cable ensures that the inductance is minimized while maintaining a large cross-sectional area. This design helps in preserving the integrity of high-frequency signals, reducing phase shifts and maintaining detail.

Concentric Screen Technology

The concentric screen technology provides effective shielding against electromagnetic interference, ensuring that the signal remains pure and free from external noise. This is crucial for maintaining the clarity and accuracy of the audio signal.

Silver-Plated Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors

The cable uses nine bunches of silver-plated 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors. This combination of high-purity copper and silver plating results in exceptionally low resistance, enabling the amplifier to exert better control over the speakers, especially at low frequencies.

Low Capacitance and Inductance

The design of the Genesis Silver Spiral cable ensures low capacitance and inductance, which is important for maintaining stability in amplifiers and preserving the quality of high-frequency audio signals. This leads to accurate sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.
