Discreet Audio Wiring for Seamless Integration
Monoprice Flat Adhesive Micro Super Slim Speaker Wire provides a nearly invisible solution for your audio setup. Its ultra-flat design and adhesive backing allow for easy installation under floors, around corners, and across flat surfaces, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
Specifications:
- Type: Flat Adhesive Micro Super Slim Speaker Wire
- Gauge: 18AWG
- Conductors: 2
- Length: 25ft
Key Features
Easy To Install: The ultra-flat design allows for installation over flat surfaces, across rooms, under floors, around corners, and in vehicles. Use it with our Super Slim Speaker Wire Connectors to easily connect your speakers.
Adhesive Backing: The adhesive backing allows you to run the wire on a wall, ceiling, baseboard, or any other flat surface, without the need for a cable raceway or cable retaining clips.
Paintable: The textured surface is similar to that of white masking tape, which allows it to be painted or spackled to hide the wire from casual view.
Super Slim and Flat: Measuring less than 0.02" (0.4mm) thick, this speaker wire lays flat against the surface it is attached to. This allows it to be easily routed around corners, while remaining flat and easy to hide from view.
Two 18 AWG Pure Copper Conductors: Although the conductors are flat, they have the same surface area as traditional round 18 AWG conductors, ensuring that your speakers get the same voltage levels and frequencies, without any signal loss.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Features an ultra-flat design for discreet installation over flat surfaces, under floors, and around corners without bulk.
- Equipped with an adhesive backing that allows for quick and secure mounting to walls, ceilings, or baseboards without clips.
- The textured surface is paintable and spacklable, enabling seamless integration with room decor for a virtually invisible setup.
- Measures less than 0.02" thick, making it exceptionally slim and easy to hide from view while maintaining flexibility for routing.
- Composed of two 18 AWG pure copper conductors, ensuring effective signal transfer without loss, identical to traditional round wires.
👎 Cons
- The adhesive backing, while convenient, may not be suitable for all surface types or for repeated repositioning.
- The wire's ultra-flat profile and adhesive nature mean it is not designed for in-wall installation requiring conduits or protective sheathing.
- While paintable, achieving a perfectly invisible finish may require careful painting or spackling work to match the surrounding surface texture.
- The 18 AWG gauge might be considered minimal for very long runs or extremely high-power audio systems, potentially leading to slight signal degradation in those specific scenarios.
- The product description highlights compatibility with "Super Slim Speaker Wire Connectors," implying that standard speaker wire connectors might not be ideally suited for its flat design.
