Speaker Cable

The speaker cable is the lifeline to your sound. These thicker, longer speaker cables are designed to carry massive amounts of electrical current from your amplifier or receiver to your loudspeakers. Many types of speaker cable simply have bare wire at the end. You use these bare speaker cable wires to connect your amplifier to the loudspeakers in your system. Sometimes these speaker cables are "terminated" meaning they may have some sort of connector on either end which, when properly connected, forms a mechanical connection between amplifier and speaker.

 Audio Cable

Most good audio cables contain an oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor, which passes signals accurately with minimal signal loss. Many cables also include two separate shields ?one made of braided copper, to guard against RFI, and one made of foil, to guard against EMI ?so that no annoying buzzes or "pops" are introduced into the signal.
 

 Subwoofer Cable

It is a line level analog audio interconnect. Contrary to what some may think, heavy gauge is completely unnecessary for a subwoofer cable unless rather long lengths are involved. The quality of the conductor material and dielectric material are of primary importance for long lasting quality. For longer cables, lower capacitance and overall loss becomes even more important. We offer custom length Canare/Belden cables for custom Home Theater installation. These cables will give the least possible signal loss for long cable runs
 

 Coaxial Cable

The most common connection for digital audio. Coaxial has an advantage over optical for installations that require longer run lengths. Coaxial lenghts re common upto 50 feet.

 

 Optical Cable

This type of jack is commonly used for the digital audio inputs and outputs on home A/V components such as receivers, CD players, full-sized MD recording decks, DVD players, and more. Also, some higher-end PC sound cards offer digital input and output using Toslink jacks.

 

 Composite Cable

A composite video input or output uses a single standard RCA-style jack to pass video signals. This type of connection combines chrominance and luminance information, sending it along a single cable. Though capable of delivering a high-quality picture, composite video is not as accurate as either S-video or component video, both of which provide separate paths for chrominance and luminance.

 

 Component Cable

This 3-cable connection allows the chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) portions of a video signal to be processed separately. S-video works similarly, but component video improves color accuracy further by splitting the chrominance signal into two portions.

 S-Video Cable

IFound on DVD players, DBS receivers, Super VHS VCRs, TVs, and other kinds of A/V gear, S-video inputs and outputs use a round, 4-pin jack to pass video signals. The "S" in S-video stands for "separate": S-video connections transmit the chrominance (color) and luminance (brightness) portions of a video signal along different paths, allowing them to be processed separately.

 HDMI

This brand new connection option offers 8 channels of digital audio as well as video and control signals. This is sure to quickly become the preferred connection for both audio and video equipment. High Definition Multimedia Interface gives you a premium digital signal through just one cable to install for audio, video, and control signal transmission. Lengths are now available up to 75 feet without signal loss.
