Audioquest Greyhound RCA Low-Frequency Subwoofer Cable
Connect amplifiers, receivers, soundbars, and AVRs to a broad range of subwoofers with this AudioQuest Greyhound RCA subwoofer cable. Solid 0.5% Silver conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise. The result is clearer, naturally beautiful music, intelligible dialog, and thrilling sound effects.

Key Technologies
Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality subwoofer cables.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Foamed-PE, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
Hyperlitz Coax Geometry
A perfect circle of eight negative conductors spiral around a single, larger positive conductor, creating a cable with a large cross-sectional area, minimizing the drawbacks of skin effect, and providing low resistance.
Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Terminations
This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Instead of solder, the process employs a high-pressure technique. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal used can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
- Compatible with most receivers and amplifiers: For connection to a subwoofer.
- Foamed-polyethelyne insulation: Reduces timing errors and soundstage smearing for optimal sound performance.
- Cold-welded terminations: Provide a reliable connection with minimal distortion.
- Metal-layer Noise-Dissipation system: Ensures clear signal transfer for enhanced bass performance.
- 26.2' cable length: Offers flexibility.

Q What is the Audioquest Greyhound RCA cable used for?
It's a premium RCA subwoofer cable designed to connect amplifiers, receivers, soundbars, or AV receivers to a subwoofer for clearer, more accurate bass reproduction.
Q What makes the Greyhound's conductor design unique?
It uses solid Long-Grain Copper conductors with 0.5% silver plating, eliminating strand-interaction distortion, and every internal conductor is direction-controlled to reduce RF noise.
Q What is HyperLitz geometry, and why does it matter?
HyperLitz is a coax cable design where eight negative conductors spiral around a single positive conductor, a geometry aimed at improving signal purity and reducing distortion.
Q How does the cable manage interference and energy loss?
It combines foamed-polyethylene insulation, which minimizes energy absorption, with a metal-layer noise-dissipation system that absorbs and reflects RF interference before it reaches the ground plane.
Q What kind of terminations does the Greyhound cable use?
It uses cold-welded, gold-plated RCA connectors, avoiding the distortion that can come from soldered connections.
