Long-grain copper sounds better

If you like a little distortion in you music, chances are you like the kind that is put there by your favorite electric guitarist's effects pedal, and not poor copper in your speaker wires. Making sure you get the audio performance you seek, AudioQuest has designed your new FLX 16 2 speaker cable with high quality long-grain copper. The long-grain structure in the low-distortion, high-conductivity copper AudioQuest uses results in a natural sound, uncolored by the cable. You only hear the distortion you want to hear.

Cable geometry — Audioquest engineers did their homework

When it comes to speaker cables, the structural design — or geometry — of the cable is just as important as the quality of the metal used in its construction. The bonus, however, is that the good folks at AudioQuest get to worry about the design and the materials, and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy high-performance audio.

Your new FLX 16 2 speaker cable features tightly packed Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors that create far less distortion than the common high-strand-count, randomly stranded cables. It features 19 precisely arranged, tightly packed strands in each conductor for excellent signal transfer and low distortion. Using Semi-Solid packing, the individual copper strands within the bundle don't change position, resulting in reduced distortion. Plus, twisted pair construction minimizes radio frequency and electromagnetic interference to keep your music noise-free. Get ready to hear the difference.

And now for . . . installation tips!

When you're running wire inside your walls or underground, it's very important, for safety reasons, that you use speaker cable that's approved for that purpose. This cable's CL3 certification means it passed a battery of tests administered by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for in-wall usage. AudioQuest's FLX cables are also rated for direct burial. You can run FLX cables to your outdoor speakers and bury them in the ground without a protective conduit. With simplicity of installation in mind, AudioQuest cable comes with sequential inch markings for easy measuring. Whenever possible and for best performance, you should install the FLX 16 2 speaker cable with the handy printed directional arrows running from the amplifier to the speakers.

Audioquest Speaker Wire

Reviewed By: Richard Imm - Carmichael, California

As a consumer, I believe in the saying that Your only as strong as your weakest link. I believe this saying to be true when dealing with all aspects of life. When it comes to sound, you need to have good speaker wire.

Audioquest produces some of the finest speaker wire on the market for a reasonable price. I know that some may say that speaker wire is speaker wire, but when compared to me side by side with a poor quality speaker wire, I could hear the difference and was sold. I run audioquest speaker wire for all of my speakers in my house and the money spent has been worth it.

I would definately recommend audioquest speaker wire to anyone that is looking to get the most out of their speakers.
