Meet Brave Heart: AudioQuest’s New ZERO-Tech Speaker Cable Unveiled

Explore the power of AudioQuest's Brave Heart speaker cable, boasting bigger size, quieter performance, and ZERO-Tech innovation for superior sound.

Introducing Brave Heart: A Bold Step Forward

AudioQuest has rolled out its latest ZERO-Tech speaker cable, the Brave Heart, promising a sonic experience that's bigger, quieter, and simply better than anything else in its price range. This new addition is not just another cable—it's a leap forward in engineering, combining impressive technical upgrades both inside and out that enhance the overall performance and value.

Bigger for Stronger Sound Control

Physically, Brave Heart nearly matches AudioQuest’s renowned Mythical speaker cables, being just 0.6mm smaller in outer diameter. Internally, it packs almost a third more of the same high-quality Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductor metal found in previous models. This makes Brave Heart akin to a slightly junior Mythical Creature but with a more manageable form factor.

Unlike its Mythical counterparts, Brave Heart separates its positive and negative conductors into distinct round constructions, improving handling without sacrificing quality.

This increased size delivers more "torque," giving the music a firmer grip, especially in the bass frequencies. The cable preserves the damping factor better over longer lengths, which is crucial for speakers with ported (4th-order) enclosures that depend on strong amplifier control to perform optimally.

Additionally, the extra metal content ensures that variations in speaker impedance across the frequency spectrum have a reduced impact on the frequency response, leading to a cleaner, more consistent sound.

Quieter: Advanced Noise-Dissipation

A standout feature of Brave Heart is its upgraded polypropylene insulation. This material linearizes and broadens the bandwidth of noise dissipation, significantly reducing harsh-sounding distortions caused by distributed capacitance.

By spacing the conductors farther apart with optimized insulation, the cable minimizes out-of-focus effects that can muddy sound clarity.

Braver Heart also includes thicker layers of Carbon-Loaded PVC, innovative Graphene additives, and 4% silver shield drain wires, all working together to enhance RF-noise dissipation dramatically.

Brave Heart’s design balances size, flexibility, and noise reduction for a superior listening experience.

Classic AudioQuest Design Excellence

Beyond the new materials, Brave Heart incorporates AudioQuest’s trusted design philosophy:

• Solid conductors prevent strand interaction.
• Conductors are direction-controlled, efficiently channeling RF noise away from sensitive amplifier circuits.
• The innovative 72v Dielectric-Bias System minimizes timing errors and dielectric noise.
• No RF-relaying metals are used in cable dressings, breakouts, or plug barrels.
• Connections are cold-welded and gas-tight, attaching securely to Red Copper spades or banana plugs.

This combination ensures signal integrity and durability, enhancing both performance and reliability.

ZERO-Tech: The Heart of Fluid Sound

ZERO-Tech technology, previously featured in AudioQuest's Folk Hero and Mythical Creature cables, is a game-changer. It eliminates characteristic impedance mismatches between the cable and connected equipment. The result? Power flows seamlessly, and music appears out of nowhere — natural, effortless, and immersive.

This is achieved by a subtle yet crucial electrical connection: the positive drain wire connects to the negative at the speaker end only, cleverly concealed inside what looks like a traditional breakout.

Despite Brave Heart's robust size, its design offers increased flexibility, simplifying amplification-side connections without compromising performance.

Better All Around

It’s easy to toss around words like "better," but in Brave Heart's case, it truly fits. The synergy created by its materials, design, and technologies culminates in a speaker cable that is bigger, quieter, and overall superior to any AudioQuest cable previously offered at this price point.
