Monoprice Choice Series 12AWG Oxygen-Free Pure Bare Copper Speaker Wire 100ft

Description

Pure Bare Copper is a conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. 20 feet of 16AWG Pure Bare Copper would be 0.1606 ohms, well under the 0.2-ohm limit. 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. On the other hand, 20 feet of 16AWG CCA would be 0.2362 ohms, well OVER the 0.2-ohm limit. Pure Bare Copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire. 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. One side of the clear outer PVC jacket is marked with an easily visible blue stripe to indicate polarity. This speaker wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% pure), oxygen-free bare copper. CCA is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper. 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. Get the most out of your home audio system with high quality, oxygen-free, pure bare copper speaker wire from Monoprice!
