Description: About the Audio Quest Rocket 33 Many of today's speakers can be "bi-wired." They feature two sets of connectors, which provide separate inputs for the woofer and tweeter. Until now, bi-wiring required using two regular sets of speaker cables, but Audio Quest's innovative Rocket 33 single bi-wire cable delivers the sonic benefits of conventional bi-wiring along with much lower cost and simpler hookup. They enable your speakers to reproduce sound as cleanly and faithfully as possible using a single cable. You'll enjoy sound that's spacious, finely detailed, and beautifully balanced. On the "amp" end, each bi-wire cable features a single set of banana plugs (one positive, one negative), for attaching to your amp's speaker terminals. On the "speaker" end, there are two sets of banana plugs (two positive, two negative), for attaching to both sets of terminals on your compatible speaker. The benefits of bi-wiring When a full-range signal is sent through a single speaker cable, the interaction of the magnetic fields created by the different frequencies can negatively impact the sound produced by your speakers. In particular, large amounts of bass energy can interfere with more delicate high frequencies. Bi-wiring transfers audio signals separately to your speaker's woofer and tweeter inputs, eliminating this distortion-causing interaction. If your speakers can be bi-wired, they should be for optimum performance. Solid conductors improve accuracy and clarity Each of the cable's six conductors is a single, unbroken strand of pure copper, which ensures highly efficient signal transfer with minimal loss. Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interference that can add brittleness to the sound of multi-strand conductor cables. Precise cable geometry The Rocket 33 uses a precise combination of different size conductors: 21-, 19-, and 17-gauge conductors for the high-frequency signal, and 20-, 18-, and 16-gauge conductors for the low-frequency signal (see more photos). This difference in diameter reduces the possibility of distortion caused by any particular conductor's sonic "signature." A specialized spiral arrangement of the three conductors in each bundle minimizes potential signal interaction, resulting in sound that's clearer and more dynamic.Product highlights:length: 10 ft.designed for bi-wiring speakers with dual sets of connectorsspeaker cables with pre-attached banana plugseach cable has 1 set of connectors on amp end and 2 sets of connectors on speaker endsix solid, pure copper conductors:one 21-gauge perfect-surface copper, one 19-gauge long-grain copper, and one 17-gauge long-grain copper conductor for the treble signalone 20-gauge perfect-surface copper, one 18-gauge long-grain copper, and one 16-gauge long-grain copper conductor for the bass signalPVC and carbon-loaded PE insulationscable labeled for proper direction of signal flowcold-welded silver-plated banana plugsgray/red textile cable coverMFR # ROCK3310SBS Note a couple of the spade connectors where a little lose they been serviced to original condition. 5 STARS REVIEWS ACROSS THE BOARD! Please read below. AudioQuest Rocket 33Michael from Lincoln, RI on 5/16/2024Verified customerI bought these to replace the much less expensive Elac sensible speaker cables. There was noting wrong with the Elac cables but I had upgraded my speakers to the bi-wireable Monitor Audio Silver 700 G speakers. The Rocket 33 cables significantly improved the sound from my speakers. It was clearer, and more detailed. Transients are better defined. The treble is smoother and more liquid. The bass is more impactful but not bloated or smeared. In all, the Rocket 33's made for a more musical presentation that has increased my enjoyment of my system. There is one caveat; I cannot tell how much of the improvement is due to better cable quality and how much is due to bi-wiring. In the end, it does not make to me because the because the increase in sound quality is well worth what I spent on the cables.Was this helpful?

Instruments are no longer crowded and compressed. Beautiful open stage with everything in its place. A worthy investment. It has always been the case that getting better performance costs more and more money for incremental performance. Is it worth it? In this case it is.Pros: Clean open SonicsCons: PriceWas this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33Keith from Lafayette, LA on 9/1/2023Verified customerWow. These cables are amazing. I really did not think I could rationalize spending twice as much on speaker wire than I spent on my entire system, Sony Str DH 190 and Polk Monitor 40 speakers. Don't get me wrong, the Sony and Polks were great, but the Rocket 33 have taken it to a new level. The bass is much deeper and fuller. The treble is much cleaner and crisp. The separation is much better as well the spacing. I did need to get Banana plug to wire/ pin adapters ( 4mm female) to connect to the spring clips on the Sony as well as the speakers but they worked great. So glad I bought them. Made a huge difference.Was this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33David from Roswell, NM on 3/13/2023Verified customer.Was this helpful? Wow!James from Montevallo, AL on 10/6/2022Verified customerI'm not an audiophile, never heard the word until recently whilst reading about gear on the internet. I don't have expensive gear. Technic 1500C turntable with Ortofon 2M black cart, Yamaha A S701 integrated amp. Klipsch Heresy IV speakers. These cables make this meagre system sound brilliant. Well worth the cost. I bought all with the exception of the Ortofon cart from x V#@*&^ best company going for audio and video equipment.

I am very pleased.Was this helpful? Front Left & Right Polk LSIM 707 Main Speaker Cables HENDERSON, NV on 3/15/2022Verified customerI did quite a bit of research on these AudioQuest bi-wire ready speaker cables. I believe they are unique in their design not requiring cutting open regular cables attaching interconnects and then taping up the opened area of the cable. They arrive ready to go and look fantastic. Each cable has two connectors on the Amp end and four connecters on the Speaker end. They are a very high quality product. My first sound check proved that they clearly open up the mid-range and tweeters of my Polk Speakers. The overall sound improvement is very noticeable and very much worthwhile. Thanks to the Tech representative that referred me to this purpose built AudioQuest product.Pros: High quality Purpose built for bi-wiringCons: NoneWas this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33Kevin from Biggs, CA on 2/2/2022Verified customerGreat cables just wish I had gotten the 15 ft instead of the 10 ftPros: Better sounding than what I was usingCons: NoneWas this helpful? My Audioquest Experience Augusta, ME on 9/19/2021Verified customerI have always had great audio components over my years of having an audio/video system. But I never had really good speaker cables until my first purchase with Audioquest. I got the Rocket 33 single bywire speaker cable and immediately noticed a difference to listening to music and movies and was blown away with the quality of sound. They are the perfect match for my Klipsch speakers. I have since got a Center Channel Audioquest cable and.now I am left with getting 2 more sets of Audioquest Rocket 33 cables. I've never spent that much money for speaker cables, but I am now anxious to complete these cables for my system. The expense is WELL WORTH IT and encourage anyone looking to make their system sound dramatically better, take the time to buy Audioquest cables. You will not regret it.Pros: Great sound, beautifully built cables like no other I ever encountered before.Cons: Can't think of any except for maybe the expense, but have since stopped worrying about and embrace spending the money for the rest of the cables.Was this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33 Davie, FL on 4/23/2021Verified customerEasy to connect. Very clear sound!Was this helpful? Pure Joy! Huntingtn Bch, CA on 2/3/2021Verified customerI had been using a bi-wire cable from almost 30 years ago, so when it came time to replace my similarly old and tired amplifier, it was time to upgrade my cables too. These Rocket 33s were initially used to connect my ancient Arcam Delta 290 amp to an equally old pair of Vandersteen Model 2s. Playing CDs on a Yamaha CD-S1000, I was really impressed with the improvement in sound. I then replaced the Arcam with a Yamaha A-S2200, and the result was pure joy. I'm really looking forward to enjoying this setup for many years to come.Pros: Quality Fit & Finish Robust & Durable Design Well labeled connectors Difference to the musicCons: Pricey, but worth itWas this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33 Huntington Park, CA on 12/21/2020Verified customerI honestly wasn't going to buy it...I didn't think it would make a difference but I was wrong haha. The bass sound way better! ????????Was this helpful? Rocket33: Over the moonSteve from Sudbury, MA on 12/13/2020Verified customerI finally gave in and decided to upgrade my speaker cables... SO happy I did. I hooked up the bi-wired bananas to my old pair of Focal-JMLAB tower speakers (need an upgrade there as well), to my sturdy Musical Fidelity 3Si amp. First, they look beautiful and have a nice weightiness to them and the bananas are nice and snug. You can tell it's good equipment out of the box. Second, I noticed a different immediately on the clarity coming through the speakers, whether streaming on the Bluesound Node, or listening to a CD on my Marantz SA8005 or listening on a vinyl on Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit it all sounded BETTER. I can spending a lot more money on cables down the road but only if I upgrade everything else, for now I'm very happy with the Rocket33.Pros: clarity on the sound, solid grip, beautiful look,Cons: noneWas this helpful? AudioQuest Rocket 33 Womelsdorf, PA on 11/11/2020Verified customerWhat a difference the AudioQuest Rocket 33 biwire speaker cables made in my Wharfedale Diamond 225 speakers. Bass and treble are more defined and have an attack and punch that wasn't there before. The soundstage grew in height, width, and depth with an airiness that wasn't there before. You know its good when your wife walks in and says "wow what did you do to the stereo?" I was skeptical at spending that kind of money on speaker cables but it was worth every penny and then some. If you were hesitant about spending that kind of money go ahead and pull the trigger and enter sonic bliss. You won't regret it. As always is great to work with.Was this helpful? Audioquest Rocket 33 Garden Grove, CA on 1/4/2020Verified customerAbsolute quality you can feel and hear! I was hesitant on spending this much on speaker cables, which in comparison not as much as some higher level cables could cost you... for people who have a lot higher budget to spend on cables than I do... although it is subjective some people can hear the difference and some can't... I took a chance and I did hear an improvement in sound, dynamics,clarity and detail! So I will NOT be sending them back! They met all of my expectations!Was this helpful?
