Performance Benefits
The AudioQuest Black Lab delivers exceptional low-frequency performance through precision-engineered materials and construction. Solid long-grain copper (LGC) conductors feature fewer grain boundaries than standard copper, resulting in lower distortion and superior signal transfer. This translates to tighter, more articulate bass with improved clarity and definition across the entire subwoofer frequency range.
Foamed-polyethylene insulation minimizes capacitance and preserves the dynamic contrasts that bring music, movies, and gaming soundtracks to life with powerful, impactful bass. The metal-layer noise-dissipation system effectively drains RF and EMI interference away from the signal path, preventing high-frequency noise from contaminating your low-frequency audio and ensuring clean, controlled bass response.
Long-Grain Copper Advantage
AudioQuest's use of solid long-grain copper (LGC) conductors sets the Black Lab apart from cables using standard copper. LGC has fewer impurities and longer crystal structures, which means fewer barriers to signal flow. This results in lower distortion, better preservation of musical detail, and more natural, lifelike bass reproduction that reveals the full impact of your subwoofer's capabilities.

Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
