Product Information

You could also speak to a dealer to see if they've tried different cables during demos and have found any that work particularly well with your amplifier.

The age old argument of cable quality has raged between audiophiles since the dawn of time (well not really, but certainly for quite a while). Some argue the quality of speaker cables is just as important as the quality of theHi-ficomponents they’re connecting. Other enthusiasts save their cash buying budget cables and claim that they make no difference to the sound quality whatsoever. There are several kinds of connectors in this scenario and it depends on the output your HDMI is producing. You can get a complex one that has outputs of virtually all RCA kinds including component, S Video and the classic RCA. You will probably have to connect the connector to a power source and then plug in the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the connector. Now simply connect the RCA cable to the port on the television. You can connect the respective audio and video lines to the connector and the tv. Whether you choose shielded or alternative cables, investing in quality equipment is key for achieving optimal sound performance. Can I use different gauge sizes for speaker wire and RCA cables in the same audio setup?Test the connection: After connecting the speaker wire, test if the connection is secure by gently tugging on the wire to see if it comes loose If you’re in a pinch, speaker wire can be used as an RCA cable. However, it’s important to note that speaker wire has limitations when it comes to audio quality and compatibility. By understanding how speaker wire and RCA cables work together, you can optimize your home audio setup and enjoy superior sound performance. Choosing the Right Cable for Your Audio Setup There are several types of RCA cables and component cables are one of them. So you can say that component wire is similar to other RCA cables. However, there are differences in terms of how the signal is carried or the end results you get. The component cable has three lines of video signals and two for audio while audio RCA only have lines for audio. Some components consist of only three lines of video without any lines for audio signals. In such a case they are combined with audio RCA to provide both video and audio signals between the devices that are being connected. The final option with speaker wire is whether to bi-wire or not. If your speakers only have single wire connections then of course it makes this decision simple –single connections it is! But if your speakers have two sets of speaker connections then they can be bi-wired. A perceived benefits of bi-wiring is that it can create a more open sound stage and increase levels of detail, but it’s argued that single wiring in fact offers a more musically coherent sound. Again this is one for the die-hards to continue arguing with, but bear in mind that equivalent quality bi-wiring is almost always more expensive than single wire configurations.

As a general rule of thumb, we'd recommend setting aside 10-15 per cent of the total cost of your system for cables. In the case of a hi-fi set-up, you'll be looking at analogue interconnects, speaker cables and, potentially, a digital optical or coaxial cable depending on the sources you're using. So you'll want to dedicate a share of this to a pair of suitable analogue interconnects. The first thing we do to a pair of analogue interconnects is run them in by connecting them to our reference system. In our experience, their impact on a system can change over time so we make sure they have a couple of days with an audio signal running through them. Simply put these two wires are similar but not exactly the same and may not produce the same end results. For a high quality picture, you will have to spend some money on a top quality component wire. Is An RCA Cable The Same As A Coaxial Digital? It’s important to note that different types of speakers may require different gauges of wire. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to consult your equipment manual or an expert before making any changes to your setup.Note: It is important to take into consideration the other end of the connection i.e. the port on the device. Some material combinations can be a bit problematic for the signals. The connections should not be of materials that are prone to cause an electrolytic reaction for example tin and gold. Lengths So while it may work in a pinch, using speaker wire as an RCA cable isn’t recommended for optimal audio performance. What is the maximum length of speaker wire that can be used without affecting audio quality?

During testing, we found it really quite unsatisfyingto listen to the same songs with anything else of a similar price. They allow for our system to deliver an open, crisp and rhythmic sound and dynamics are communicated with confidence. Theprice tag might weigh heavy on many listeners’ wallets – and the cheaper C-line remains a class leader we can still get behind – but for those who can justify the outlay, the Clearway Analogue RCA (2022) is brilliantly capable of letting you hear whereyour money has gone. The RCA cable is also used for connecting audio or stereo devices to transmit sound signals. In this case, the cable only transmits audio signals. It is usually of very high quality and should be like that for the signal to be of high quality. It can be combined with video RCA like component to achieve both HD video and audio transfer. Connectors Read the full Chord Company Clearway Analogue RCA (2022) review How to choose the right audio cables for you Proper termination techniques are essential for preventing signal loss or interference, which can negatively impact the quality of your sound.Next up, cable management plays a crucial role in maintaining an organized and safe environment for your audio equipment. Keep your speaker wires and RCA cables away from power cords and other electronic devices to avoid any potential interference. In terms of conductivity, silver has the highest rate and gold has the lowest. However, the latter is commonly used for plating the connector. This is because it is strongly immune to corrosion and rusting. It does not oxidize and therefore is best to protect even the other two materials. So when buying RCA you will see a lot of wires plated with gold which is a good indicator of their longevity. If such plating is absent, the connector becomes vulnerable to oxidization which causes problems in the signal. Silver although great at conducting can still get oxidized over time. So it is a good idea to choose a connector with gold plating. HDMI cables are now becoming very common for connecting devices to a monitor or tv. However, many television sets only have an RCA inlet so you cannot really plug in HDMI cables into these. In such a case you can convert the HDMI to and RCA cable by simply getting an HDMI to RCA connector. This device will get the signal from the HDMI cable and send it through the RCA cable connector to the television.
