AudioQuest Rocket 22 Speaker Cable - Custom Length
The Rocket 22 represents an upgrade on the Rocket 11, as the combination of AudioQuest's Long-Grain Copper and Perfect-Surface Copper results in a deep sound stage with detailed mid and high ranges, as well as full and warm bass. An overachiever at this price!
What AudioQuest say
Launched alongside the Rocket 11, the Rocket 22 improves on the Rocket 11's award-winning formula by increasing the gauge of conductors, lowering it's impedance and combining AudioQuest's Long-Grain Copper (LGC) with Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). All of these adjustments mean the Rocket 22 offers improved clarity, reduced harshness and superior bass-to-treble frequency extension while remaining affordable. The SureGrip 100 and 300 plugs are the perfect compliment to the Rocket 22 by utlising direct-silver/gold plating compared to the distortion-casuing nickel commonly found in standard banana plugs.
The AudioQuest Rocket series is one of the most successful AudioQuest speaker cables due to its excellent design and construction. The Rocket series is an ideal speaker cable for entry to mid-level range Hi-Fi and AV systems. This latest cable in the Rocket series, is constructed from a mix of the award-winning AudioQuest FLX/SLiP 14/4 and AudioQuest Rocket 33 speaker cables.
The Rocket 22 speaker cable utilises both 'Long-Grain Copper' and 'Perfect-Surface Copper' semi-solid true-concentric conductors, a first for AudioQuest. The combination of 'Long-Grain Copper', 'Perfect-Surface Copper' and true-concentric conductors ensures the Rocket 22 delivers a more balanced, dynamic and cleaner sound. Rocket 22 is available as both single wire and biwire configuration.
A clearly audible step up from Rocket 11, Rocket 22 is a high-performance, low-noise, CL3/FT4-certified cable designed to quickly and easily accommodate either Full-Range or Single-BiWire applications, making it an outstanding choice for custom installers and enthusiasts alike. With no breakouts, pants, or braids to cut back and dress, preparation is as simple as can be.
"True-Concentric" is an industry standard term for when each layer of strands in a concentric conductor is spiraled in the opposite direction from the layer below, eliminating the lines of contact between the layers, and increasing contact pressure at the points of contact. The downside is much more machine time and higher cost – the upside is better sound you can hear. True-Concentric construction significantly furthers the beneficial effect of the skin-effect by dramatically increasing layer autonomy.

"The 22’s design mirrors that of the cheaper model, but uses higher quality copper conductors with a polished outer surface that’s claimed to give a ‘sweeter’ high frequency performance."... "While this is a chunky cable, it’s also extremely flexible and shouldn’t cause any issues when installed."... "The sound is impressively detailed, uncovering low-level information and arranging it in a stable and cohesive manner. All that detail isn’t overtly highlighted either; here it exists in an even-handed delivery without emphasis. All of this makes for an easy-going balance that makes the Rocket 22 suitable for a wide range of systems."... "The Rocket 22 continues the fine work of its Award-winning sibling and, in a suitably talented set-up, the difference in price between the two (the Rocket 11 costs £12.50/m) can be justified by the improvement in scale, detail and authority."(Read More) What Hi-Fi 5 Star Review - April 2018 |

Termination
This cable is professional terminated by Futureshop using one of the following plug options:
- SureGrip 100 Gold-plated Banana or Spade
- SureGrip 100 Silver-plated Banana or Spade
- SureGrip 300 Gold-plated Banana or Spade
- SureGrip 300 Silver-plated Banana or Spade
Both the SureGrip 100 and SureGrip 300 Banana plugs utilise a stronger base metal, Beryllium Copper, offering higher tensile strength and superior sound to phosphor bronze found on many banana plugs. The SureGrip 100 and SureGrip 300 Spade plugs utilise higher purity Purple Copper which provides cleaner and clearer sound when compared to standard copper or brass used in other "premium" connectors.
The differences between the SureGrip 100s and SureGrip 300s can be found in the amount on metal used in the construction of the plug. The SureGrip 300 uses substantially more metal in the connector compared to the SureGrip 100 resulting in a superior connection between the conductors, the connector and your system.
The coppers of the connector, just as in the speaker cable itself can lend to the cable sounding more detailed, wider soundstage, lowering of the noise floor and protection of the raw conductors. These benefits increase step by step as you progress higher up the series from the Suregrip 100 Beryllium Copper plugs to the Series 1000 Red Copper banana plugs. The plating process also changes as you move up the series, resulting in a thicker and more durable plating.

About AudioQuest
AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Enhance Your Experience: Free Cable Burn-In Service with Nordost VIDAR Machine
Please take note of the following details regarding our cable burn-in service:
- Cable Compatibility: We regret to inform you that we cannot burn-in cables with stripped bare ends or BFA plugs. In order for cables to undergo the burn-in process, they should be terminated or have connectors.
- Timing: Cables will be burnt in for the selected period after processing your order. For custom-length cables, the burn-in process will occur after they have been terminated by the manufacturer or our engineers unless specified otherwise in the product description.
- Availability: Future Shop provides our cable burn-in service free of charge, but its availability is at our discretion. While we strive to fulfil all burn-in requests for the specified time periods, please understand that during exceptionally busy periods, we may be unable to meet the demand due to limited connections on the Nordost Vidar cable conditioning machines.
The Nordost VIDAR cable burn-in machine integrates three key functions into one operation:
- Charge Neutralisation: It eliminates charges that accumulate around the cables and their insulation, ensuring a more balanced electrical environment.
- Deep Conditioning: The machine provides a wide band and deep conditioning process that affects the conductor core, resulting in changes to the signal transmission through the metal. This deep conditioning enhances the cable's performance.
- Ultrasonic Surface Conditioning: The VIDAR machine utilizes ultrasonic waves to condition the surface of the conductors, optimizing their contact and overall conductivity.
The VIDAR employs a proprietary combination of composite and complex signals to condition the cables. These signals comprise ultra-low and ultra-high frequencies, extending beyond the range of video frequencies. The signal moves back and forth along the cable, penetrating deep into the core with ultra-low frequencies and traversing the surface with ultra-high frequencies. This transmission method generates beat harmonics between the two complex waveforms, which permeate all layers of the cable. The circuitry of the VIDAR also drives electrons from the conductor into the insulation area, neutralizing electrical charges.
So, what does this all mean for you?
The ultimate outcome of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation in your audio system.
Now, you may wonder why cable burn-in is necessary. During cable manufacturing, gasses become trapped as insulation is applied over the conductors. Additionally, new cables often possess high electrical charges, resulting in a brittle and bright sound that lacks the desired detail and depth for music production.
When cables undergo burn-in, the trapped gasses are dissipated, and small impurities in the conductor metals begin to exhibit diode-like behaviour, favouring current flow in a specific direction.
Here are the physical effects of the burn-in process:
- Charge Neutralisation: The burn-in process neutralizes charges in the conductors and insulation, promoting a more balanced electrical environment.
- Wide Bandwidth Frequencies: The conditioning affects how signals pass through the metal, enabling a wider range of frequencies to penetrate all cable layers.
- Signal Transmission: The burn-in process establishes the directionality of the cable, optimizing signal transmission from one end to the other.
When cables are properly burnt in, you can expect the following audible changes in your audio system:
- Fuller and Natural Sound: Your system should be capable of producing a more immersive and realistic performance with a fuller and more natural sound.
- Increased Detail: You may notice enhanced details and nuances in the music, allowing you to perceive subtle elements that were previously hidden.
- Improved Soundstage: The dimensionality of your system's soundstage can be greatly improved, creating a more spacious and immersive listening experience.
At Future Shop, our goal is to maximise your satisfaction. That's why we offer a free burn-in service on all our cables before they arrive at your door, enabling you to sit back and enjoy the benefits of properly conditioned cables in your audio system.

Happy with the cables

I have a nice setup with mid-level audiophile equipment. I was 90% happy with the sound, but I had a slight issue with harsh upper mids that was annoying with some music, particularly jazz with soprano sax. I added some acoustic panels to my music room but didn’t really notice a difference. A friend recommended upgrading my speaker cables (I already had excellent Chord Clearway cables for my system interconnects).
So I tried these, and the sound spectrum's smoothness from my system shows a noticeable improvement.
They certainly were worth it for me.

Effectiveness of speaker cable
Paul Ireland

It is difficult to imagine that a "piece of wire" would make any difference to the sound produced by an audio system. Prior to purchasing the AudioQuest Rocket 22 Speaker Cable, my B&W speakers were bi-wired using a good-quality cable. I thought the sound was excellent until I replaced these with a single Audio Quest cable/speaker. There was a noticeable improvement in the quality of the sound, with deeper bass and clearer treble.
The only mistake I made was not seeing the note on the website stating that the cables were ordered separately. I have looked at a number of other suppliers who sold the cables in pairs.

I bought these AudioQuest Rocket 22 speaker cables, together with Rocket 22 jumpers, after reading some reviews of this speaker cable.
I also own the old AudioQuest CV-4 and other cables in my system. With the new Rocket 22, improvements in treble and bass and soundstage are noticeable. Bass control is quite good and well matched with my ProAc SM100 speaker. I am thrilled with the sound quality and expect it to improve after longer hours of running.
It is my first experience buying products from Future Shop. They provided quick responses and helpful answers to my questions. The items of my order were shipped and delivered to me (HK) in a week, which is very quick and quite impressive.

I bought equal lengths of this cable and connection made between my Gato Audio 250s-NPM integrated amp and Monitor Audio Silver 200 floor standers and obviously helped by a good quality source in my Jays Audio CDT2 Mk3 or from my RP3/Ania MC/Electrocompaniet ECP2 MK2.
For what, in real HiFi terms, is a budget speaker cable, I continue to be amazed at the depth/breadth of staging and the level of detail conveyed. After this, I think we are entering into the area of diminishing returns if looking to spend more.
I would have thought anyone looking for a very good quality cable would be hard pushed to find something approaching the sonic levels this cable can show, even at twice the price.

Quite stunned at the effect of adding Rocket 22 to my system. It was already performing well but now has greater weight, more air, detail and musicality as well as a much wider and deeper soundstage. In other words marked improvements across the boards with music possessing greater energy and vitality.
Thank you Future Shop for your patience and advice in guiding me to the right cable. It appears to match well with my Puresound 2A3 and Heco Direkts.

I have recently changed and upgraded my audio equipment and was pleased with the results.In recent years I have been somewhat sceptical of claims made by cable manufacturers and press reviews.However I felt that having invested in new equipment I should give it the best possible chance by gradually changing the interconnects,starting with the speaker cable.Having done due diligence and also spoken with the very helpful people at Futureshop I settled on Rocket 22.
On changing only the speaker cable the difference was immediate and obvious in terms of scale and detail and most importantly,enjoyment.I really am amazed at the difference.All things are relative of course and who knows what spending more money might achieve.For me though better than expected results for a sensible price is always the objective. On this basis I would highly recommend Rocket 22.

I upgraded to Rocket 22 from Rocket 11. The Rocket 11 had already outperformed several cables I used in the past from Chord, QED and van den Hul. It was doing nothing wrong but I was curious about the improvements the Rocket 22 could offer.
The immediate difference when I swapped in the 22 was the sound level seemed a touch softer than with the 11. It took some getting used to before I realized it was because the soundstage is deeper than with the 11.
This is a very spacious sounding cable with superbly refined treble. If your musical diet tends towards rock and pop and you are playing it through speakers with slightly dull tweeters, the Rocket 11 will provide some upfront pep to make it more exciting. The 22 could make it more laid back.
However the Rocket 22 outright wins when it comes to vocal and acoustic music. It brings out so much more nuance and texture to voices and instruments, it's amazing. Coupled with its spacious quality, it makes for intoxicating life-like sound reproduction leading to prolonged listening sessions.
For its asking price, the Rocket 22 over-achieves.
Note: the bass will sound swampy and muddled from new but it clears up soon enough.
Thank you to Adam, Gary and Glyn for the helpful responses. I will purchase from FutureShop again. :)
