    Wired my theater system with this speaker wire after many hours of research. I was looking for in-wall rated wire that was oxygen free with a high strand count that could handle longer runs with low resistance. IMHO, It is a great value for the money. It has worked very well for all my in-wall and atmos ceiling speakers. I am very particular and wired my system to meet the Dolby standards for height and angle to the listener. I understand that there is some controversy about different kinds of speaker wire and the marketing hype surrounding them. This is just a high grade speaker wire without the hype. I purchased higher end speaker wire for my 2 front channels and used this for all the surround speakers and I couldnt be happier with its performance. I highly recommend this product.

    I managed to grab a 250 roll of this 12 AWG cable only $80. Been wanting 12 AWG cable given that I have about 50 runs through my walls to my rear surround speakers. Just couldnt justify the cost so I watched and waited. This is a great cable. Glad I managed to snag it cheaper than normal!

    High quality wire at a great value. Works great for in-wall or is pretty good for interconnect situations as well. I would recommend buying a separate wire striper sized specifically and exclusively for stranded wire. If you see little one-inch strands of copper building up around your worksite, you need to change your stripping tool.

    Great quality wire has plenty of strands. My speakers sound great with these. No issues.

    12 gauge wire. This is true 12 gauge wire. It is very thick and 100% copper. High quality speaker wire.

    Great price on this product. Also I really like that the strands are color coded making it obvious which strand goes with which binding post which has been a challenge on many previous speaker wire options I have used. Very happy with this purchase.

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.
