Audience Au24 SX Bi-Wire Speaker Cables
Audience Au24 SX Bi-Wire Speaker Cables
Bi-wire loudspeakers let the woofer and tweeter connect to the amplifier separately, so the woofer's heavy current demands stay apart from the delicate signal feeding the tweeter. The Au24 SX bi-wire set does that with Audience's acclaimed Au24 SX design.
Bass and treble, each with its own path to the amplifier.
The Design
Au24 SX was Audience's flagship before frontRow, and it remains one of the most acclaimed cables the company has built. Every conductor is 99.9999% pure (6N) OCC copper, insulated in high-grade cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and laid in Audience's Perfect Lay geometry: fine strands laid flat, side by side, rather than braided or twisted. Audience keeps the mass of each conductor and the jacketing to a minimum, a low-mass approach designed to reduce the eddy currents that smear transients and dull fine detail. Every Au24 SX cable is double cryogenically treated in Audience's own lab and handmade in San Marcos, California.
How It Sounds
Audience describes the Au24 SX as more transparent and dynamic than the cables before it, with greater weight and authority and a richer tonal palette. Listeners most often call it natural, and reviewers agree: The Absolute Sound heard a fluid balance of ease, articulation, and immersiveness.
Where It Fits
Choose it for speakers with two pairs of binding posts. If you'd rather run a single pair of cables, Au24 SX jumpers are the alternative.
Press Recognition
- The Absolute Sound, Issue 269 (January 2017), Neil Gader, reviewing the Au24 SX interconnects and speaker cables. Gader called them superb and found they struck a fluid, natural balance of ease, articulation, and immersiveness.
