From AudioQuest:

Twice the silver
conductor content is what separates Wild Wood from Redwood. The increase of
silver opens Wild Wood widely, increasing resolution, while at the same time continuing
to remain relaxed and natural. The sense of ease and extension allows you to
forget about your tasks at hand and drift off into musically-induced bliss.

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+/PERFECT-SURFACE
SILVER (PSC+/PSS) CONDUCTORS

Wild Wood uses a carefully
finessed combination of Perfect-Surface Copper+ and extremely high-purity
Perfect-Surface Silver conductors in a Self-Shielding Counter-Spiral HyperLitz.
Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, which is the greatest single
source of distortion in an audio cable or an AC power cable. Surface quality is
critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the
electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the
conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates
harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other
coppers. Extremely high-purity PSS further minimizes distortion caused by grain
boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor.

CARBON-BASED MULTI-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION AND
CROSS-TALK-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (INSULATION)

The negative
conductors in Wild Wood are insulated with partially conductive Carbon-Loaded
Polyethylene. This remarkable material damps radio-frequency garbage from being
fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is exactly the same reduction in
“hash” and better dimensionality that comes whenever RF garbage is reduced in
an audio circuit. Wild Wood uses Nitrogen-Injected Foamed-Polyethylene
Insulation on its positive conductors because air absorbs next to no energy,
and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all
the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to
other materials.

DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM 

All insulation slows
down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows
down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive
multi-octave audio. AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic
field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the
insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the
multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly
black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery
packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional
battery check.

DOUBLE COUNTER-SPIRAL GEOMETRY

Wild Wood and the
other AQ “Tree Feature” cables have an inner circular array of positive
conductors spiralling in one direction. Around this inner group are the
negative conductors spiralling in the opposite direction. Even while the
positive and negative conductors are crossing each other instead of being
parallel, the relationship between the positive and negative groups is fixed
and non-changing, adhering to one of AudioQuest’s most basic design tenets:
consistency. The result is an astonishing clarity, like focusing a camera lens
you had no idea was so far out of focus.

SPREAD-SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY (SST)

Any single size or
shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially
symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest
discontinuities, any conductor of a particular size does have a sonic
signature. SST uses a precise combination of different size conductors in order
to significantly reduce the audibility of these character flaws. The different
SST-determined conductor sizes used in Wild Wood allow an exceptionally clear,
clean and dynamic sound.

BIWIRING

When possible, running
separate conductors or separate cables to the treble and bass halves of a
speaker will considerably reduce distortion. BiWiring reduces distortion by
keeping the large magnetic fields caused by bass energy out of the treble
cable, allowing these delicate upper frequencies to travel a less disturbed
path. Although Wild Wood is an ideal full-range cable, it can also be used as a
double pair for maximum benefit from BiWiring. Wild Wood has also been designed
to make it possible to Single BiWire. The five conductors per polarity have
been chosen and arranged so that they may be divided into two groups, allowing
Wild Wood to be prepared with four connections on the speaker end.
