One of the joys of having a quality audio & video system is being able to install speakers throughout the house, and even put them outdoors for when you are enjoying those warm summer days and nights. Most loud speaker cable is not suitable for outdoor use because it is not built to handle the elements it can be subjected to when run outside the home. That is when you need our Cmple 16AWG four-conductor speaker cable it is not only rugged enough to withstand pets or children tugging on it indoors, it is tough enough for long-term outdoor installations in virtually any climate.
The wires inside this loudspeaker cable are protected by three separate jackets; the color-coded red, green, white and black jacket for each of the four conductors, another white inner jacket, and then the ultra-tough black PVC exterior jacket. Theres nothing to worry about from cold, rain, snow or condensation with this cabling; it is built to last. Of course, outdoor installations are usually just a part of a whole-house audio system, and this cabling is also perfect for indoor use with jackets which can handle being twisted and bent to fit where it needs to go, and CL2 rated for fire-resistance to meet almost any local building code standards for runs inside walls or ceilings. The only areas it cannot be used are in large building plenums.
What about the audio quality we hear you ask. There is no worry there either, since this is a Cmple cable built to our exacting standards. The multi-twist, rope lay braided Bare Copper OFC conductors will easily deliver high fidelity audio over long runs throughout your home or all the way out to your pool, patio or backyard. There is almost no signal loss whatsoever, with the full range of frequencies and crisp audio data delivered faithfully throughout the cables length. The gorgeous music you hear in your living room will sound exactly the same as the audio being played through the speakers out by your hammock.
Four-conductor cabling is the right choice for long runs, especially if they are through walls or ceilings or to outdoor locations. The reason is simple: four conductors give you the ultimate in versatility. You do not need to run two separate cables for two outdoor speakers, for example. You can run a single length to one speaker, use two of the conductors there, and then continue the run to the second speaker where you will use the other two conductors. It saves time, money and effort. Alternately, you can run a separate cable to each speaker, and if you ever have a problem with a broken wire you have two extra conductors already so you dont have to go through the pain of running replacement cables.
500 feet is a lot of speaker cable. But you’d be surprised how much cabling you need for a speaker system covering an entire home and outdoor area. It makes no sense to buy individual cable for indoor and outdoor use, when the Cmple outdoor/in-wall 16AWG cable can take care of the entire installation.
