AudioQuest FireBird ZERO Speaker Cable — 7ft Spade Termination
AudioQuest FireBird ZERO Speaker Cable — 7ft Spade Termination
Couldn't load pickup availability
The AudioQuest FireBird ZERO is a reference-grade speaker cable that sits at the pinnacle of AudioQuest’s Mythical Creature series — a line reserved for those who demand the absolute best from their system.
FireBird ZERO combines Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) and Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors in a carefully chosen ratio that delivers performance approaching an all-silver cable at a significantly lower cost. Paired with AudioQuest’s most advanced noise-dissipation and dielectric technologies, the result is a cable of extraordinary transparency, dynamics, and musical truth.
This listing is for a 7-foot pair terminated with Cold-Welded Spade connectors — AudioQuest’s purest termination method, using bare copper submerged in pure silver.
🇺🇸 Ships to all 50 states including Hawaii. Available at Sunny Components Inc., Covina, CA.

Solid PSS Silver & PSC+ Copper Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-to-strand interaction — a major source of distortion. AudioQuest’s Perfect-Surface metals feature an astonishingly smooth surface that nearly eliminates harshness and dramatically increases clarity versus standard conductors.
ZERO-Tech Geometry
The only complete solution to characteristic-impedance mismatches. ZERO-Tech eliminates interaction between the insulation (dielectric) and conductors, enabling uncompressed current transfer. Transient current is unrestricted; RF noise dissipation is linearized octave to octave.
Carbon-Based Linearized Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
Combines multiple shields with a carbon-based linearized resistive network that converts noise into heat — equally effective across an extremely wide bandwidth, not just selected frequencies. Remaining energy is drained via directionally controlled conductors.
72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with Level-X RF Noise-Trap
Properly biasing the dielectric linearizes its filter effect, significantly improving wide-bandwidth noise dissipation. The Level-X Noise-Trap actively pulls RF noise out of the cable, further reducing audio circuit misbehavior.
Cold-Welded Mythical Creature Terminations
Spade connectors are cold-welded to AudioQuest’s extremely pure Red Copper spades. Bare copper is submerged in a vat of pure silver — not tumbled in a lower-grade solution. Plug casings are non-metallic to avoid inducing RF noise into the conductors.
The FireBird ZERO is designed for bi-wire systems. Understanding the ZERO vs. BASS distinction is essential:
- FireBird ZERO — full-range or treble cable. Use on the treble/HF binding posts when bi-wiring.
- FireBird BASS — optimized for 10kHz and below only. Use on the bass/LF binding posts. Do not use BASS full-range.
- Bi-Wire COMBO — BASS + ZERO joined at the amplifier end is the most convenient and recommended configuration.
- Tri-Wiring — use BASS cables on both midrange and bass inputs; ZERO on treble.
- ⚠️ Do not bi-wire with two ZERO cables — two ZEROs in parallel can create a high-frequency resonant peak (ringing) and poor sound. Always pair ZERO with BASS.
- Second-best option — single ZERO cable with AudioQuest bi-wire jumpers.
RF/ND-Tech (patented RF-canceling ground-noise dissipation) makes bi-wiring dramatically more effective with FireBird than with conventional cables. Contact us to discuss the optimal configuration for your speakers and amplifier.
