AudioQuest Q2

The Q2 is a speaker cable from AudioQuest, designed to connect an amplifier to a pair of speakers with a more elaborate conductor design than a conventional stranded cable. It belongs to the manufacturer's flat series and is suited to any stereo or home cinema system seeking a carefully designed connecting link.

Its structure is based on a semi-solid concentric conductor, a geometry intermediate between traditional stranded bundles and the brand's high-end solid conductors. The copper used is long-grain (LGC), which has fewer grain boundaries than standard OFHC copper: this lower density of internal junctions limits micro-discontinuities in the signal and promotes a clearer, more natural sound. The design combines Concentric geometry with a Low-Inductance Twisted-Pair layout, intended to reduce the cable's inductance. The 1.65 mm² cross-section places this model among standard-gauge speaker cables, suited to common domestic setups.

This cable is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts who wish to improve the connection between their amplifier and speakers without stepping up to AudioQuest's high-end solid conductors, seeking a balance between performance and budget.
