speaker cable
Amplifier-to-speaker link
Speaker cable is wire designed to carry audio signals from an amplifier to speakers.
It typically consists of two insulated conductors—one for positive, one for negative—and comes in various gauges, with thicker wire reducing resistance over longer runs.
Audiophiles debate whether expensive speaker cables produce audibly better sound than basic copper wire.
