Overview
Experience Pure Audio Fidelity with High-Quality Speaker Wire
Maximize your home audio system's potential with Monoprice Speaker Wire. This CL2-rated, 2-Conductor, 12AWG speaker wire ensures optimal signal transmission, delivering clear and accurate sound. Made with oxygen-free, pure bare copper, it provides superior conductivity and minimizes signal loss, resulting in enhanced audio performance.Specifications
- Conductors: 2
- Gauge: 12AWG
- Material: Oxygen-Free, Pure Bare Copper
- Length: 1000ft
- Rating: CL2 Rated
- Color: Black
Key Features
Two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99.95% 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.
Using Pure Bare Copper speaker wire ensures that the total load put on the amplifier remains as close as possible to the impedance curve of your speakers.
Each conductor is jacketed with color-coded PVC for easy polarity identification.
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
- Constructed with high purity oxygen-free bare copper conductors (greater than 99.95% pure) for optimal signal transmission.
- Utilizes pure bare copper, which offers superior conductivity compared to the copper clad aluminum commonly found in other wires.
- Ensures the amplifier load remains true to the speaker's impedance curve, promoting consistent sound quality.
- Features color-coded PVC jacketing on each conductor, facilitating easy and accurate polarity identification during setup.
- Boasts a CL2 rating, making it safe for in-wall installation in residential buildings by meeting fire safety standards.
👎 Cons
- The 1000ft length may be excessive for smaller installations, potentially leading to wasted material and higher initial cost.
- Specific information on the cable's flexibility or ease of routing in tight spaces is not provided in the features.
- While CL2 rated, details regarding its suitability for outdoor use or extreme environmental conditions are not mentioned.
- The cable's aesthetic, such as available colors beyond the color-coded jacketing, is not specified for visible installations.
- No information regarding the thickness of the PVC jacket, which could impact durability or protection from damage.
