Redwood stands as a giant among its peers. The carefully finessed

combination of Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ and Perfect-Surface

Silver conductors allow your music to present a sound field that is

both large (as it was intended) and coherent. The addition of silver

offers a significant improvement in ease and resolution.

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+/PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSC+/PSS) CONDUCTORS:

Redwood uses a carefully finessed combination of perfect surface

Copper+ and extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver conductors in

a Self-Shielding Counter-Spiral HyperLitz. Solid conductors prevent

strand interaction, which is the greatest single source of distortion

in an audio cable or an AC power cable. 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. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface

eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC,

OCC, 8N and other coppers. Extremely high-purity PSS further minimizes

distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal

conductor.

CARBON-BASED MULTI-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION and CROSS-TALK-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (INSULATION):

The negative conductors in Redwood are insulated with partially

conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material damps

radio-frequency garbage from being fed back into the amplifier. The

sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in “hash” and better

dimensionality that comes whenever RF garbage is reduced in an audio

circuit. Redwood uses Nitrogen-Injected Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation

on its positive conductors because air absorbs next to no energy, and

Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks

to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus

effect common to other materials.

DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat #s 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1):

All insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When

insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently,

a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio.

AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field that

saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation.

This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple

nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly

black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS

battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the

occasional battery check.

DOUBLE COUNTER-SPIRAL GEOMETRY:

Redwood and the other AQ “Tree Feature” cables have an inner circular

array of positive conductors spiraling in one direction. Around this

inner group are the negative conductors, spiraling in the opposite

direction. Even while the positive and negative conductors are

crossing each other instead of being parallel, the relationship

between the positive and negative groups is fixed and non-changing,

adhering to one of AudioQuest's most basic design tenets: consistency.

The result is astonishing clarity, like focusing a camera lens you

had no idea was so far out of focus.

SPREAD-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST):

Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion

profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or

tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any conductor of a

particular size does have a sonic signature. SST uses a precise

combination of different-size conductors to significantly

reduce the audibility of these character flaws. The different

SST-determined conductor sizes used in Redwood allow an exceptionally

clear, clean and dynamic sound.

BI-WIRING:
When

possible, running separate conductors or separate cables to the treble

and bass halves of a speaker will considerably reduce distortion.

BiWiring reduces distortion by keeping the large magnetic fields

caused by bass energy out of the treble cable, allowing these delicate

upper frequencies to travel a less disturbed path. Although Redwood

is an ideal full-range cable, it can also be used as a double pair for

maximum benefit from BiWiring. Redwood has also been designed to make

it possible to Single BiWire. The five conductors per polarity have

been chosen and arranged so that they may be divided into two groups,

allowing Redwood to be prepared with four connections on the speaker

end.

TERMINATIONS:
AudioQuest offers a wide

range of high-quality connectors that allow Redwood to be securely

attached to any type of equipment. Quality is in the low-distortion

sound, not necessarily in the eye-candy effect. AQ ends are either a

dull looking gold or silver because these metals are plated directly

over the connector. There is no shiny and harsh sounding nickel layer

underneath. AQ PK-spade lugs are soft because better metal is soft,

and facilitates a higher quality connection. For pieces requiring a

banana plug or BFA connector the AQ PK-BFA/Banana provides

unprecedented performance over conventional brass versions.

APPLICATION:

The metal breakouts on either end of Redwood are marked “Speaker End”

or “Amp End.” Please use cables in the direction required.

A combination of these major ingredients, and many more subtle details add up to explain how Redwood can sound so good.
