Audioquest is known for developing tools that enhance the in-home experience of audio and video entertainment.

The historical journey of Audioquest:

Audioquest’s founder, William E. Low, has described himself as “an absolute hedonist”, who learned about hi-fi or cables purely as a result of being interested in getting high on music.

In his early days of selling high-end audio equipment, William E. Low discovered that the sound of an audio system gets influenced by the quality of the cables connecting the various components.

While AQ remains best known for its analog and digital cables, in recent years the company has ventured into new product categories, most notably in its launch of the DragonFly USB digital-to-analog converter/headphone amplifier.

AQ has continuously been an ardent recipient of numerous awards, to name a few: Stereophile’s 2012 “Computer Audio Component of the Year” and 2012 “Budget Component of the Year;” Tone Audio’s 2012 “Digital Product of the Year;” Computer Audiophile’s 2012 “Computer Audiophile Product of the Year;” AudioStream’s “Greatest Bits;” and What Hi-Fi? ‘s 2014 “Product of the Year.”

At the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, Audioquest officially entered the headphone market with its NightHawk over-the-ear headphones, designed by Skylar Gray.

NightHawk was named 2015 CES Innovation Award Honoree (Headphones) and 2015 Best of Innovation Winner (Eco-Design and Sustainable Technologies). NightOwl headphone and Perch headphone stand product launches followed the critically acclaimed NightHawk.

Audioquest technological features:

Noise-Dissipation System: Traditionally, RF energy gets routed to the ground in an interconnect cable through the use of a shield, consisting of either a braided metal and a wrapped foil, which causes a form of signal modulation, or in other terms a distortion of the signal.

Audioquest’s Noise-Dissipation System significantly reduces the effect of this modulation, an essential character for a good home theatre design.

Dielectric Bias System: Dielectric Bias System is a revolutionary technology that minimizes the interaction between the conductor and the insulation that surrounds it.
