What is Speaker Wire?
Most often, speaker wire is the electrical link between loudspeakers and amplifiers. The construction of
speaker wire consists of two insulated electrical conductors. Allied Wire and Cable's speaker wires
consist of one bare and one tinned copper conductor in a clear PVC jacket.
When can speaker wire be used?
Speaker wire can be used in low voltage applications, such as radios, public address systems and music systems.
Is the gauge size of speaker wire important?
To carry an amplified signal, speaker wire needs adequate thickness. Because cable thickness is measured in
gauge, the gauge size of the wire is important to take into consideration. The American Wire Gauge
(AWG) uses lower numbers to indicate thicker wire and higher numbers to indicate thinner wire, so be sure to
check the AWG size when choosing your wire.
