CL3/FT4 In-Wall & Direct Burial Rated Bulk Speaker Cable

SLiP 16/2 features Semi-Solid Concentric Packed conductors that reduce harshness and confusion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) has less grain junctions and lower distortion which preserves clarity and naturlness. SLiP 16/2's low-Inductance Spiral Geometry minimizes the sound going out-of-focus as length increases. The EasySLiP Minimalist Outer Jacket is UL-Rated for in-wall use (CL3, FT4).

Key Features & Technology Explained

Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors

Semi-Solid Concentric conductors significantly reduce strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

Long-Grain Copper Metal

High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Directionality

All internal conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.

Semi-Solid Concentric Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
In a conventional multi-strand cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic strand interaction is compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle. In an AQ Semi-Solid Concentric cable, strands within the bundle maintain their fixed relationships, significantly reducing distortion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.

  • Long-Grain Copper construction: Helps eliminate harshness and enhance signal clarity.
  • PVC jacket material: Protects the interior cable and components from dust, moisture and breakages.
  • In-wall rated: For flexible installation options.
