AudioQuest Rocket 22 Full-Range Speaker Cable — Pair

More refinement. More clarity. A serious step up in the Rocket Series.

AudioQuest Rocket 22 Full-Range is a high-performance speaker cable designed to keep the signal between your amplifier and loudspeakers as clean and unaltered as possible. Building on the architecture of Rocket 11, Rocket 22 upgrades the conductor material with a carefully selected combination of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) for lower distortion and greater transparency.

Its Semi-Solid Concentric conductors, Double Spiral-Pair geometry, Direction-Controlled conductors, and low-energy PVC insulation work together to deliver a cleaner, more focused connection without unnecessarily complicating the system.

Perfect-Surface Copper + Long-Grain Copper

One of the most important upgrades in Rocket 22 is its combination of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC).

AudioQuest uses these higher-purity copper conductors to minimize distortion associated with grain boundaries within the conductor. The result is designed to provide smoother, clearer signal transfer than conventional OFHC copper speaker cables.

Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors

Traditional stranded cables allow individual strands to change position within the conductor bundle, creating electrical and magnetic interactions.

Rocket 22's Semi-Solid Concentric construction keeps the strands in fixed relationships to one another, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion while retaining the practicality and flexibility of a stranded cable design.

Double Spiral-Pair Geometry

Rocket 22 uses AudioQuest's Double Spiral-Pair Geometry. Two conductors in each half of the cable spiral around one another rather than simply running parallel.

This arrangement reduces inductance, which AudioQuest says contributes to greater clarity, improved focus, and better bass-to-treble frequency extension.

Direction-Controlled Conductors

Every conductor in Rocket 22 is controlled for RF-noise directionality.

AudioQuest determines conductor orientation as part of its approach to reducing the effect of radio-frequency noise on the audio signal, and the completed cable is assembled with the conductors running in their intended direction.

Low-Energy PVC Insulation

Rocket 22 uses PVC insulation selected to minimize energy absorption around the conductors. Reducing dielectric energy storage helps preserve low-level information and maintain greater signal clarity.

SureGrip 300 Connectors

Rocket 22 Full-Range is professionally terminated with AudioQuest SureGrip 300 connectors.

Available configurations include:

• 2 Bananas → 2 Bananas — Gold
• 2 Bananas → 2 Bananas — Silver
• 2 Multi-Spades → 2 Multi-Spades — Gold
• 2 Multi-Spades → 2 Multi-Spades — Silver

The appropriate termination depends on the binding posts used by your amplifier and loudspeakers. The Grid HiFi can help determine the best configuration for your system.

Rocket 22 vs. Rocket 11

Rocket 11 and Rocket 22 share several important AudioQuest technologies, including Semi-Solid Concentric conductors and Double Spiral-Pair geometry.

The significant upgrade with Rocket 22 is conductor quality. Rocket 11 uses Long-Grain Copper, while Rocket 22 combines LGC with higher-purity Perfect-Surface Copper. For systems capable of revealing greater levels of resolution and low-level detail, Rocket 22 provides a logical step up within the Rocket family.

Why Buy AudioQuest Rocket 22 from The Grid HiFi?

Speaker cable should be selected as part of the complete system—not simply by length.

The Grid HiFi can help configure your Rocket 22 pair for your specific amplifier and loudspeakers, including choosing the appropriate cable length and banana or Multi-Spade terminations.
