Firebird BiWire Combo 3m

Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) and Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid conductors prevent electrical strand-to-strand interaction, a significant source of distortion. Surface quality is important because a conductor guides both the fields within it and the magnetic fields extending beyond it. The smooth, pure surfaces of AudioQuest’s Perfect-Surface metals reduce harshness and improve clarity compared with lesser materials. The selected PSS and PSC+ conductor sizes allow FireBird to approach the performance of an all-PSS Silver cable at a lower cost.

Carbon-Based Linearized Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
AudioQuest’s Linearized Noise-Dissipation System combines multiple shields with a carbon-based linearised resistive network that converts most noise into heat. The system is effective across an extremely wide bandwidth, rather than only at selected frequencies. The remaining unwanted energy is drained from sensitive amplifier circuits through directionally controlled signal and shield conductors.

ZERO-Tech
The complete way to eliminate characteristic-impedance mismatches between a cable and its attached source and load is for the cable to have no fixed characteristic-impedance value. ZERO-Tech achieves this by removing interaction between the insulation, or dielectric, and the cable’s conductors, allowing uncompressed current transfer. Transient current remains unrestricted, while RF Noise-Dissipation is linearised consistently across octaves.

RF/ND-Tech (BASS CABLE ONLY)
A cable’s ground leads are part of a component’s signal transmission, but they can also act as antennas and pick up Radio-Frequency (RF) noise. This parasitic signal can couple directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video circuits. AudioQuest’s RF-on-ground Noise-Dissipation, or RF/ND-Tech, reduces the resulting distortion and signal masking across a wide range of radio frequencies. Its circuit topology uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array to provide linear Noise-Dissipation along the cable’s entire length (US Patent # 8,988,168).

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with Level-X RF Noise-Trap
Insulation also acts as a dielectric and a shunt-filter. Biasing the dielectric linearises this filter and improves the cable’s ability to dissipate induced noise across a wide bandwidth. The DBS pack’s Level-X Noise-Trap draws RF Noise out of the cable, further reducing unwanted behaviour in connected audio circuits.

Mythical Creature Cold-Welded Terminations
Mythical Creature cables are cold-welded to AudioQuest’s high-purity Red Copper Spades or Bananas. The bare copper is suspended in a vat of pure silver rather than tumbled in a lower-grade solution. AudioQuest speaker breakouts and plug casings are non-metallic, avoiding the introduction of RF Noise into the conductors.

FireBird Bi-Wiring
Where possible, separate cables for the treble and bass halves of a speaker can reduce distortion. Bi-Wiring keeps the large magnetic fields associated with bass energy away from the treble cable, giving higher frequencies a less magnetically disturbed path.

AudioQuest’s RF/ND-Tech, a patented RF-cancelling ground-noise-dissipation system, draws RF energy away from the amplifier’s output. Properly implemented, Bi-Wiring can improve performance without increasing cost. With RF/ND-Tech, the benefit is more pronounced. Because RF/ND-Tech is highly effective, BASS model cables are for 10KHz and below only. Do not use a BASS cable full-range or on treble.

FireBird BASS cable is suitable for use with FireBird ZERO. A Bi-Wire COMBO, with BASS and ZERO cables joined at the amplifier, is often the most convenient arrangement. For Tri-Wiring, use BASS cables on the Midrange and Bass inputs.

Caution: Do not Bi-Wire with 2 ZERO cables. ZERO cables connected in parallel can create a very high-frequency resonant peak, or ringing, resulting in poor sound. Use 1 ZERO plus 1 BASS cable, whether joined as a COMBO or not. The next option is a single ZERO with AQ Bi-Wire jumpers.
