AudioQuest Volcano Speaker Cables – 5 ft Pair, Spade Termination, 72V DBS
AudioQuest’s Volcano is one of the classic “no-nonsense, all-performance” speaker cables from the era when the company was pushing hard into true reference territory. Built around ultra-pure solid conductors, advanced geometry, and AudioQuest’s 72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS), Volcano delivers a big, effortless presentation with excellent dynamics, low noise, and beautiful tone.
This 5 ft pair with spade terminations is ideal for high-performance stereo or monoblock setups where short, high-quality runs make a real difference.
Highlights
-
Discontinued reference-grade cable from AudioQuest’s classic DBS lineup – rarely seen in this short 5 ft length.
-
Solid PSC+ (Perfect-Surface Copper+) conductors for exceptionally smooth, low-distortion signal transfer.
-
Spread-Spectrum conductor design using multiple conductor sizes to minimize the “sound” of any single gauge and preserve natural timbre and detail.
-
Counter-spiraled positive and negative bundles to reduce interaction and lower noise for greater clarity and focus.
-
72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) pack keeps the insulation in a constant, stable electrostatic field, improving resolution and low-level detail.
-
Heavy-gauge aggregate cross section (approximately 9 AWG) for excellent current delivery and control, even with demanding loudspeakers.
-
High-quality spade terminations for a solid, reliable connection at the amp and speaker
Technical Details
-
Model: AudioQuest Volcano speaker cable
-
Length: 5 ft pair (approx. 1.5 m)
-
Configuration: Full-range stereo pair
-
Conductors:
-
16 solid PSC+ copper conductors
-
Four different conductor sizes are used in a Spread-Spectrum array to balance sonic characteristics and reduce distortion.
-
-
Geometry:
-
Eight conductors for positive, eight for negative
-
Positive and negative bundles are counter-spiraled, so the conductors cross rather than run parallel, helping to reduce interaction and noise pickup.
-
-
Dielectric-Bias System: 72V DBS battery pack attached to the cable (no connection to signal path; biases the insulation for more consistent performance)
-
Terminations: Spade lugs on amplifier and speaker ends
-
Application: High-performance 2-channel or mono-block setups, ideal for systems where resolution, soundstage depth, and tonal nuance are priorities
Suggested Use
Volcano is an excellent match for high-resolution electronics and loudspeakers that reward refinement and control. Short 5 ft runs like this are perfect when your amplifiers sit close to your speakers, maximizing performance while keeping the cable path as direct as possible.
