    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

    Outside sleeve is very loose and makes it hard to pull cable threw walls.

    Several purchases now from Monoprice, happy each time. Top notch quality and at the right price, they got it going on. Love the wire, XLRs are great too. You are number one for cables and wire. Thank you Monoprice, well done!

    Bought this to wire up a new home theater room in my house. I was running through walls so was looking for some sort of jacketed in wall cable. This fit the bill and was at a price (<$0.50/ft) that was tough to beat. The cable easily pulled through walls and small holes (as small as 5/16 dia in places where I wanted to be discreet). I read some reviews that said it is too stiff or difficult to install to wall plates; that was not my experience. I found it to be only slightly more stiff than non-jacketed speaker wire and as i said the jacket made it easily slide through the walls. I also attached the ends to Monoprice Banana Binding Post wall plates and found it to be plenty flexible for that purpose. The only odd thing I will note is that the black conductor is more difficult to strip than the red....odd, but still not a big deal. Would definitely buy again!

    Thanks to Monoprice I can afford to run wires for possible future Dolby Atmos speakers, thereby future proofing my basement TV/theater area. I may never add the 6 additional speakers I wired, but its great to have the option for a small investment. Ive purchased several Monoprice products over the years and Ive always been fully satisfied with them.

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.
