Characteristics Of A Silver Speaker Cable

By Kendra Ware


A silver speaker cable is a gadget used to connect the amplifier to a certain source. Inside this wire is a set of more complex gray or copper stranded wires that are four in number. These internal cables serve the purpose of conduction. An outer jacket is used to cover up these wires as they are delicate in nature. The jacket also acts as an insulator to the complex wire structure.

These cables have been structures, or created in a way which their performance can be enhanced. These features need to be reviewed when making a purchase. The initial significant one is the size of the gauge. Gauges are made in a variety of sizes ranging from thin to thick ones. The thicker gauges are regarded as being better in functioning as more material is used in their making.

Another important factor to consider is the length of the wire. Long wires are attributed to poor quality in sound and signal reception. The length of the cable attached to each amplifier should also be the same. Mismatched wires are likely to create resistance in the flow of power through the amplifiers; hence the power is produced and transmitted in different levels. This in turn creates a difference in sound intensity, consequently producing poor sound quality.

Power is transmitted through conduction, and for this function to be supported, the material used for transmission has to be a good conductor. The specific one used for these metals is mostly advised, though some opt for copper. As compared to other materials, copper has a higher resistance and is easily oxidized making it a lesser suitable conductor though still efficient. The wires are usually insulated to prevent oxidization.

The insulating jacket has to be created using materials that can withstand several conditions. Wires are thin and delicate, thus making them easily susceptible to damage. They need to be protected against getting into contact with water or high temperatures and activities that may get them scratched, knocked or entangled in each other.

Since insulation plays a significant protection role, the materials used for the process need to be secure enough. Different materials have been introduced in the market for example silicone, Teflon and PVC. PVC is considered a good insulator although it expires faster than others. Upon wearing out, the inner wires get exposed thus crippling the function. Thus PVC is advised against usage if paired with copper, which gets oxidized easily.

The other kind of insulator is more suitable with this brand of wires used in the amplifiers. Teflon has been made resistant to damage and other factors like extreme temperatures of fire and water. It is a more permanent option as compared to PVC or silicone. Its characteristic of being completely impermeable makes it suitable for insulating as the wires face no risk of oxidization.

A silver speaker cable has been structured in a way that exhibits improved performance. It has all the right features to enabling its function. It is also makes it to be durable as compared to other metal cables. Their versatility when it comes to outdoor use also makes this kind of wires able to stand out, thus being preferred by many individuals.
