    Thanks to Monoprice I can afford to run wires for possible future Dolby Atmos speakers, thereby future proofing my basement TV/theater area. I may never add the 6 additional speakers I wired, but its great to have the option for a small investment. Ive purchased several Monoprice products over the years and Ive always been fully satisfied with them.

    This is a quality cable. 12 gauge is perfect for a excellent for my 5.1.4 speaker layout. Cables are fished through the walls for a clean look and this is what the cable is rated for. Remember this is a THICK cable so when routing take that into consideration.

    Excellent wire. Will buy more if I wire another room.

    Very nice quality wire. Inner jackets are thick and well made. Only dislike is the outer jacket is very loose. Not a problem, and I do not expect it to cause a problem pulling the cable, but would be nice if the jacket fit a little snugger.

    nothing wrong with the product, but go ahead and purchase it from Monoprice directly. I thought id save a bit on Monoprices steep shipping charges, but what I got was a spool of cable that was packaged horribly and one of the spool ends had broken so the cable has telescoped into a big knotted mess.

    I recently wired my family room to be for surround. After many weeks of research then more research I decided on the Monoprice speaker cable. Many audiophiles & high-end home theater folks insist on the Blue Jeans brand. Yes they are awesome cables no doubt there. Being on a budget & having a small room I bit the bullet & opted for the Monoprice. Cost was a factor in my case, I wanted the best I could afford. I was not disappointed.

    This is really very high quality and I am very happy I got it. The wire was marked in feet so it makes it really easy to cut exactly where you want. The price was right! I really love it.

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.
