The mighty Oak is known for
its strength and endurance, which are also qualities found in this speaker
cable.



SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+)
CONDUCTORS:

Oak uses extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface
Copper+ Conductors. All conductors are solid, which prevents strand
interaction, a major source of distortion. Surface quality is critical because
a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields
within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. The
astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates harshness and greatly
increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. The superior
purity of PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which
exist within any metal conductor.



CARBON-BASED MULTI-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION
and CROSS-TALK-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (INSULATION):

The negative conductors in Oak are insulated
with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene. This remarkable material
damps radio-frequency garbage from being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic
benefit is exactly the same reduction in �hash� and better dimensionality that comes whenever
RF garbage is reduced in an audio circuit. Oak uses Nitrogen-Injected
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on its positive conductors because air absorbs
next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion
profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the
out-of-focus effect common to other materials.



DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat #s
7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1):

All insulation slows down the signal on the
conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the
signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio.
AudioQuest�s DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which
saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This
minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear
time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with
unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for
years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check.

DOUBLE
COUNTER-SPIRAL GEOMETRY:

Oak and the other AQ �Tree
Feature� cables have an inner circular array of positive conductors
spiraling in one direction. Around this inner group are the negative
conductors, spiraling in the opposite direction. Even while the positive and
negative conductors are crossing each other instead of being parallel, the
relationship between the positive and negative groups is fixed and
non-changing, adhering to one of AudioQuest�s most basic design tenets: consistency. The
result is an astonishing clarity, like focusing a camera lens you had no idea
was so far out of focus.



SPREAD-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST):

Any single size or shape of conductor has a
specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid
round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any conductor of a
particular size does have a sonic signature. SST uses a precise combination of
different size conductors in order to significantly reduce the audibility of
these character flaws. The different SST-determined conductor sizes used in Oak
allow an exceptionally clear, clean and dynamic sound.
