Audioquest Brave Heart FR (2 banana connectors amp side, 2 banana connectors speaker side) (Pair) - 10

Description

Mechanical Design & Form Factor:
Brave Heart adopts a dual-round construction that physically separates positive and negative conductors, producing a cable with near-Mythical size but improved manageability. The red-on-black nylon-braid jacket and larger overall diameter increase mechanical stability and reduce microphonics while maintaining practical handling for typical installations.

Conductors & Electrical Performance:
At its core are Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors in a 12 AWG gauge, providing low DC resistance and minimal strand-interaction. The PSC+ metallurgy reduces transient intermodulation distortion and delivers a smooth, refined treble character while increasing midrange clarity. The ZERO-Tech geometry eliminates any characteristic impedance by suppressing the electrostatic field between conductors, enabling linear, octave-consistent current transfer for improved transient fidelity.

Noise Dissipation & Dielectric Control:
Brave Heart implements a multi-layer noise-management system: upgraded polypropylene insulation to reduce dielectric noise and distributed capacitance distortion; Graphene+Carbon Mesh-Network and thicker Carbon-Loaded PVC to form a Level-7 linear noise-dissipation architecture; and solid 4% silver shield drain conductors to efficiently bleed RF energy away from amplifier inputs. The 72 V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) further linearizes the insulation’s filter behavior and reduces timing errors associated with dielectric noise.

Connectivity & Reliability:
All terminations are cold-welded gas-tight connections to red-copper spades or banana plugs, eliminating solder and minimizing thermal and chemical discontinuities. Speaker breakouts and plug casings use non-metallic materials to avoid RF relaying into the cable dressing. Direction-controlled conductors ensure induced noise is drained toward least-sensitive circuitry, preserving dynamic range and imaging.

Applications & System Integration:
Optimized for low-impedance and ported speakers that demand strong amplifier damping, Brave Heart excels where bass control and transient authority are critical. Sold as a pair and manufactured in Taiwan, it is positioned as an exceptional value in AudioQuest’s lineup—bigger, quieter, and better-performing than previous offerings at comparable price points.
