    Great for running in walls to binding posts. Nice and heavy for carrying over long distances.

    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.

    This product is the best bang for the buck for high quality in wall rated speaker wire. I have used 750 ft+ of this wire throughout my house and have never had a problem. Also i plus ordering it through Amazon is that it is cheaper than ordering directly from monoprice and free shipping

    The cable works great for my home theater system. The cost was not bad for this gauge cable.

    Great speaker wire, pure copper which is what you want. Great sounds produced by my speakers, no distortion or interference.

    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.

    I originally bought this last year for my house, never got around to wiring it up, and my parents needed some wire, so used it at their house, and the sound is much better than the wireless system they used to have. Now I bought a second reel for my house. Im expecting good things here too.

    Very nice product! Has marking at every foot in length which helped with installation. High grade copper wire.

    I ran this to the various in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and speaker jacks in our new house prior to drywall installation. Our house is not complete so I havent connected any speakers yet. But since it is basically copper wire I dont foresee any problems.

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.
