Choosing the Right Speaker Cable for Your Audio Installation
The quality of your speaker cabling directly influences audio clarity and reliability. At AV Installs, we provide industry-approved cables designed to ensure consistent, high-quality sound for your projects.
Key Features of Our Speaker Cables
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC): Premium pure copper conductors offer superior conductivity and oxidation resistance compared to cheap Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) alternatives, ensuring rich, detailed sound for years to come.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH / LSOH): Essential for in-wall and ceiling installations. LSZH jacketing emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases in a fire, helping you meet strict UK and EU building safety regulations (CPR compliant).
2-Core vs 4-Core Configurations:
2-Core Cable: Ideal for standard single-speaker runs or traditional stereo setups.
4-Core Cable: Lets you run signals to stereo-pair speakers (like single-stereo ceiling speakers) using a single cable run, saving installation time and reducing trunking clutter.
Color-Coded & Sequential Marking: Built with installers in mind, our cables feature clearly identified positive/negative cores and meter-marked outer sheaths to simplify cable management and length measurement.
Which Cable Gauge (AWG) Do You Need?
Choosing the right cable gauge depends on your specific setup. Our range of options allows you to select the ideal cable for your distance, impedance, and power requirements, giving you control over your system’s performance.
16 AWG (1.5mm²): Perfect for short to medium runs (up to 15m) (150m for 110V) in standard home cinema or multi-room ceiling speaker setups.
14 AWG (2.5mm²): Recommended for medium runs (15m to 25m) (300m for 110V) or high-power speakers where minimising signal loss is paramount.
12 AWG (4.0mm²): Great for longer cable runs (Up to 95m) (500m for 110V), ideal for high-power PA systems, large background music systems and low-impedance passive subwoofers
10 AWG (6.0mm²): suitable for excessively long runs (Up to 145m) (1000m for 110V), ideal for highest-powered Hi-Fi performance speakers, live music PA systems, and high-powered, low-impedance passive subwoofers; think nightclubs.
