Audience frontRow 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 frontRow bi-wire set does that with Audience's frontRow design; Positive Feedback's John Acton reviewed it in a three-meter bi-wire pair.

Bass and treble, each with its own frontRow path to the amplifier.

The Design

frontRow is where Audience introduced MORRE (Musically Optimized Reduction of Resistive Energy), the umbrella for its most advanced technologies, and where it reserves its Proprietary Metallurgy Technology (PMT). Audience likens PMT to the rifling in a barrel: it treats the 99.9999% pure OCC copper conductors so the signal travels a freer, more direct path. Every frontRow cable then goes through Audience's Extreme High Voltage Process (EHVP) and deep cryogenic treatment, and each is handmade in San Marcos, California.

How It Sounds

Audience voices frontRow to bring you closer to the performance: a remarkably low noise floor, lifelike tone and texture, and a holographic sense of space. Reviewers have heard the same, with Positive Feedback describing unbridled transparency and The Absolute Sound placing frontRow among the very best.

Where It Fits

Choose it for speakers with two pairs of binding posts, and pick the termination for each end to match your amplifier and speakers. If you'd rather run a single pair of cables, frontRow jumpers are the alternative.
