Monoprice Speaker Wire 14AWG 100ft 🎧
Description:
This 14AWG, 4-conductor speaker cable from Monoprice is built for in-wall audio runs and multi-zone setups, offering low loss signal transfer and easy polarity identification for neat installations. It helps keep amplifier load close to the speakers' impedance curve, making it useful for home theaters and whole-house audio projects. 🎧
Key Points
The cable uses high purity oxygen-free bare copper conductors that are stated to be greater than 99.95 percent pure, which improves conductivity compared to copper clad aluminum alternatives. Each conductor is individually color-coded with PVC jackets for quick polarity checks during installation. The CL2 rating means the cable meets common in-wall fire safety requirements for residential buildings, so it can be run inside walls according to typical building standards. A practical note, according to the manufacturer the cable is intended for indoor, fixed installations rather than direct burial or outdoor exposure. 🔧
Usage Recommendations
Run the cable through wall cavities or conduit where you need clean speaker connections and predictable audio performance. For multi-driver speakers or bi-amp setups, the four conductors let you dedicate runs for left/right positive and negative pairs or separate tweeter and woofer feeds when needed. Keep the jacket away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the PVC insulation. When pulling through tight spaces, avoid excessive tension that could deform the conductors or jackets. Consider labeling both ends after installation to make future maintenance easier.
