 RECOMMANDATION FOR SPEAKER CABLES 

 

Cable quality and resistance

 

Only use high-quality fully insulated speaker cables made of stranded copper wire. 

Use cables of gauge offering low resistance per unit length and keep the cables as short as possible. 

The  following  table  provides  the  recommended  maximum  length  depending  on  the  cable  cross-section  and  on  the 

impedance load connected to the amplifier.   

Recommended maximum length
