AudioQuest Black Lab Sub 16m
Subwoofer Interconnect
£129
The AudioQuest Black Lab Sub Cable has been designed specifically for subwoofers and features a unique grouding cable to minimise hum.
Unique grounding cable
In most cases this won't be needed but if you suffer excessive hum from your subwoofer, then the Black Lab should be able to help. By connecting the ground cable to the metal chassis of your sub and the ground on your amp, earth hum problems should be solved.
Solid-core conductors for low distortion
For many years Audioquest has advocated solid-core rather than multi-strand cables. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in conventional cables can cause distortion, giving an unnatural edge to the sound and picture. Using Long-Grain Copper, the Audioquest Black Lab gives a cleaner, clearer sound than regular cables using OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper, thanks to fewer impurities.
Air-filled foamed-polyethylene insulation
Wire insulation can cause an imperfect signal by absorbing energy and then releasing it as distortion. The Black Lab uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene as air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. The result is reduced distortion for an even purer sound quality.
Cold-welded, gold-plated plugs
By using a high pressure weld rather than solder, there's less chance of a faulty connection between cable and plug. Not only does this lead to a more reliable connection in the long term but it also ensures low resistance and, hence, low distortion connection for the entire life of the cable.
Treat your subwoofer to a cable that's designed to get the best from it - the AudioQuest Black Lab.

Superb service, very knowledgeable.
I bought some speaker cable. The advisor was very knowledgeable regarding setting up my equipment which is quite old. He recommended an excellent product. Delivery was also very efficient.

Didn't fix the hum, but a good quality product.
I bought this AudioQuest Black Lab Subwoofer cable as I have a Q Acoustics 7070si sub which suffers from what sounds like a ground hum. The cable is of a good quality, but unfortunately hasn't fixed the hum issue. Will keep the cable though as it is a quality product.

D'oh!
Check, check and check again. The packaging is very high quality, and I have no doubt that this cable would have worked wonders alongside my new subwoofer. However, the vintage Kenwood amp that I am using to power my vinyl system does not take a sub input and I cannot use the cable. As it's Richer Sounds I have experienced top quality service, hence the five stars. Schoolboy error on my part..
