Low-Inductance Geometry preserves time information, preserving dynamics and clarity.

means fewer impurities, less grain junctions, lower distortion.

TERMINATION DIRECTIONS: The 4 conductors of Type 1 can be easily separated and then stripped

individually. Take care not to cut the conductors when stripping off ½” (12mm) of PVC jacket. Please follow
the color code indicated by the 2 color stripes.

Attach the 2 color-striped conductors to a Black (-) AudioQuest CF-Spade or CF-BFA/Banana connector. AQ
CF connector packs include an Allen-key tool for tightening the 2 set-screws. Tighter is better. Attach the 2
un-striped conductors to a Red (+) connector.

If your speaker or amplifier has a screw-terminal or a binding post, you can insert the stripped ends of Type
1 directly. Then, screw down the connection. Tighter is better for preventing corrosion of the connection.
