    Quality wire at an affordable price. I have purchased many products from monoprice and have never been disappointed.

    Greater than one week

    nothing wrong with the product, but go ahead and purchase it from Monoprice directly. I thought id save a bit on Monoprices steep shipping charges, but what I got was a spool of cable that was packaged horribly and one of the spool ends had broken so the cable has telescoped into a big knotted mess.

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

    12 gauge wire. This is true 12 gauge wire. It is very thick and 100% copper. High quality speaker wire.

    Im sure different people have their preferences, but I always felt 12G was what I wanted, long term for my sitting room speakers. I chose Monoprice 250ft cos of the length (to reach the two back speakers). And I wasnt disappointed, thick but flexible and solid. Looks like the kind of wire that will last for ages, which is important for me because I plan to upgrade my speakers say in 2 years time, but Id rather not have to rewire when that time comes. Especially because I had to wire into ceilings and walls to keep the setup neat.

    Attention Pretentious Audiophiles. This cable is cheap and awesome. Buy it.

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.
