Audience
Audience frontRow Speaker Cables
Audience designed the frontRow speaker cable to carry everything your amplifier delivers, unaltered, to your speakers. With a remarkably low noise floor, it lets a good system throw a huge, holographic soundstage with spatial cues that reach beyond the speakers themselves.
A soundstage that reaches past the speakers themselves.
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 spades or bananas, or one of each, to match your amplifier and speakers. For bi-wire speakers, see the frontRow bi-wire set or add frontRow jumpers; for home theater, see the frontRow center channel and LCR cables. frontRow sits just below the frontRow Reserve in Audience's lineup.
