Monoprice Speaker Wire - CL3 Rated, 12AWG, 250ft, White

Maximize the performance of your home audio system with high-quality pure bare copper speaker wire from Monoprice! Our speaker wire features two or four conductors constructed of high-purity bare copper, with a purity level exceeding 99.95%. Pure bare copper is a far superior conductor compared to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) used in many lower-cost speaker wire options. CCA is only 68% as conductive as pure bare copper, adding significant resistance to the speakers' impedance and potentially degrading sound quality.

To ensure minimal audible impact, the total wire resistance should not exceed 5% of the lowest impedance of your speakers. Even speakers rated at 8 ohms may dip as low as 4 ohms at certain frequencies, reducing the allowable total cable resistance. By using pure bare copper speaker wire, you can maintain a load on the amplifier that aligns closely with the impedance curve of your speakers.

Each conductor in our speaker wire is jacketed in color-coded PVC, making it easy to identify polarity. The CL3 rating signifies that the cable meets fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for in-wall use in residential buildings. With a CL3 rating, the wire can handle a surge of up to 300 watts, double the capacity of a CL2-rated wire.

Other features of our speaker wire include: - Superior conductor to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) - Color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification - 250 continuous feet of wire on a convenient spool

Elevate your audio experience with Monoprice pure bare copper speaker wire.
