    Does not look like cable on their website, packaging is diff and doesnt say oxygen free copper. Wastrd of money and time.

    Great audio cable. Easy to work with and pull. I had to pull this through the ceiling and rather than have to put in a box and cut a large hole in the ceiling I was able to use a small cable grommet pass through. The ceiling is white, the cable is white and the grommet is white and your can barley see that there is a cable there.

    Works great, exactly what I was looking for and and a great price.

    I used this to pull wires in a new home before drywall and was pleased with the quality, especially for a value line from a value brand. I would buy it again without hesitation.

    I use this outside to run to a pair of waterproof speakers, I have had no problems yet, except the covering on the wires splits easily, and then you have a gap in the seal. I was not expecting it to be 100% weather resistant, but there have been no problems yet. Having one cable carry two speaker signals is great. Seems to be made very well.

    Roll came quickly and is what I hoped for. Insulation quality is good and I was able to run the lines quickly

    The wire was just as expected. A bit loose in the casing, that could be tighter but otherwise fine its fine.

    This is my second spool ordered and bot ends broken off and the wire uncoiled in the box/bag. Shrink wrap is only over the wire and not the spool ends, so any bounces and both snap off. If you dont want to constantly return these or dont mind spending a half hour untangling and transferring it to another spool, buy a different brand.

    Great product and great price. Bought two and put them on a rod between two milk crates and ran a left and right to each room during my remodel. My electrician wanted to write down monoprice because it was in wall rated and cheaper than he has ever seen wire.

Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from monoprice!

this speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. Pure bare copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. Cca is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. This additional resistance is added to the impedance of your speakers and can negatively effect The sound.

for the wire to have no audible effect, The total wire resistance should be no more than 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated for a nominal 8-ohms, may dip to as low as 4-ohms at some frequencies, which further reduces the total cable resistance allowed in the wire. Using pure bare copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.

for example, a 16AWG 2-conductor pure bare copper speaker wire has a total resistance of 0.803 ohms per 100 feet (both directions must be considered). by comparison, a 16AWG 2-conductor CCA speaker wire has a total resistance of 1.181 ohms per 100 feet. Assuming 4 ohms is the lowest impedance of your speakers, a speaker wire run can be no more 0.2-Ohms total. 20 feet of 16AWG pure bare copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-Ohm limit. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well over the 0.2-Ohm limit.

each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification. The entire cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. The CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.
