Monoprice 111936 Planate Series 16AWG Flat Speaker Wire

The Monoprice Planate Series 16AWG flat speaker wire is engineered for audio installations where aesthetics matter as much as sound quality. Its flat cross-section allows the wire to be tucked beneath carpet, run along baseboards, or painted over when mounted on walls, keeping your listening space free of visible cable clutter. Unlike many budget speaker wires that use copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors, this cable uses pure bare copper throughout, which provides superior electrical conductivity and lower resistance. The practical result is more faithful signal transmission between your amplifier or receiver and your speakers, particularly on longer runs where CCA wire would begin to show measurable losses.

The 100-foot spool arrives with a CL2 in-wall safety rating, making it suitable for permanent installation inside walls and ceilings in compliance with building codes. Each conductor pair features printed markings on one wire for easy polarity identification, a small but important detail that prevents phase issues when wiring multiple speakers. The PVC jacket protects the copper from oxidation and physical damage during installation. Whether you are setting up a home theater, running speakers to another room, or replacing aging wire in an existing setup, this flat speaker wire combines practical design with reliable performance at a price point well below specialty audio cables.
