Overview
Key Features
Two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95 percent pure), oxygen-free bare copper.
Pure Bare Copper is a superior conductor to the copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors used in most other inexpensive speaker wire.
Each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification.
Entire cable assembly is jacketed in a black, CL2-rated PVC material.
CL2 rating indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Oxygen-free bare copper conductors deliver cleaner signal transfer than cheaper copper clad aluminum alternatives
- CL2-rated jacket allows safe and code-compliant installation inside residential walls
- 500-foot spool provides enough wire for multi-room whole-home audio installations
- Color-coded conductors make polarity identification quick and error-free during wiring
- 14AWG thickness supports longer speaker runs without significant signal degradation
👎 Cons
- 500-foot spool is far more wire than needed for a single-room setup, with no smaller length option listed
- 14AWG wire is stiffer and harder to route through tight spaces compared to thinner gauges
- Does not include any connectors or terminations, requiring separate banana plugs or bare-wire prep
- Black outer jacket may be difficult to label or distinguish from other cable types in crowded conduit runs
