About the Speaker Cables range
Match the cable to the amplifier output and speaker input first, then choose the required length. Banana plugs suit compatible binding posts, while Speakon connectors provide a locking connection for many passive PA systems. Check conductor size, especially for longer cable runs, higher amplifier power or low-impedance speakers. Thicker conductors have lower resistance and can reduce power loss. Select a cable that follows a safe route without pulling on the connectors, and allow enough length for equipment movement and setup changes.
Speaker cables carry amplified power from an amplifier to a passive speaker. Do not substitute an instrument or microphone cable, even if the plug looks similar, because those cables are designed for low-level signals and may not handle speaker output. Check connector terminology carefully, including banana, dual banana, two-pole and four-pole Speakon connections. Some four-pole cables use only selected contacts, so confirm the amplifier and speaker pin assignment. Products here are organised as ready-made speaker cables, with lengths and connector combinations shown on each product page.
Speaker Cables questions
Can I use an instrument cable as a speaker cable?
No. Instrument cables carry low-level signals and are usually shielded, while speaker cables use heavier conductors to carry amplified power. Using the wrong cable between an amplifier and passive speaker can cause power loss, overheating or cable failure.
What speaker cable do I need for banana plug connections?
Choose a cable with banana plugs that match the terminals on both devices. Dual banana plugs are designed for compatible paired binding posts, with polarity usually marked positive and negative. Check the spacing and terminal layout before ordering, rather than relying only on the plug name.
Are two-pole and four-pole Speakon cables interchangeable?
Compatibility depends on the sockets and the contact assignment. A two-pole cable may connect through a compatible four-pole socket using the amplifier's first positive and negative contacts, but not every system is wired the same way. Check the equipment manuals and product specifications before purchase.
