The RW15 raw wire speaker cable is designed for sound engineers, installers, and DIY audio enthusiasts who need flexible cabling solutions for custom PA setups. This 15-foot shielded cable provides the foundation for building professional speaker connections exactly to your specifications.

Built with 16-gauge wire and PVC jacketing, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission for both permanent installations and mobile rigs. The shielded design protects against electromagnetic interference that can degrade audio quality in live sound environments.

Raw wire terminations on both ends give you complete control over your connections. The 16-gauge conductor handles standard PA speaker loads while the 15-foot length works well for stage monitors, near-field speakers, and compact PA systems. Black PVC jacket resists wear from regular setup and teardown.

Perfect for connecting powered speakers to mixers, building custom speaker cables with Speakon or 1/4" connectors, or wiring home audio systems with binding post connections. Ideal for small venues, practice spaces, and mobile DJ setups where standard pre-made cables don't fit your exact requirements.

Simply strip the wire ends and connect to your speaker terminals, binding posts, or solder on the connectors you need. The cable comes ready to use for any application requiring raw wire connections.

Seismic Audio backs the RW15 with a one-year warranty and ships fast to get your custom cable project moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I connect with raw wire speaker cables?

Raw wire speaker cables work with any equipment that has binding posts, spring terminals, or screw terminals - common on home stereo receivers, powered speakers, and some PA amplifiers. You can also solder connectors like Speakon or 1/4" plugs onto the raw ends to create custom cables for professional PA systems.

Is 16-gauge wire sufficient for my PA speakers?

16-gauge wire handles most passive PA speakers and monitors effectively at distances up to 50 feet. For high-power applications over longer distances or very low-impedance loads, consider 14-gauge or 12-gauge alternatives, but 16AWG works well for typical club PA setups and stage monitoring.

How much power can this cable handle?

The 16-gauge conductor is suitable for speakers drawing up to several hundred watts, making it appropriate for most passive PA speakers, studio monitors, and home audio applications. The exact power handling depends on impedance and cable length, but this gauge covers typical live sound needs.

Can I use this for connecting subwoofers?

Yes, the RW15 works well for passive subwoofers in smaller PA systems. The 16-gauge wire and shielded construction handle the low-frequency signals effectively. For large subwoofer arrays or very high-power applications, you might want thicker gauge wire, but this cable suits most mobile DJ and small venue sub connections.

What's the difference between this and pre-made speaker cables?

Raw wire cables give you complete flexibility to create exactly the connections you need. Instead of being limited to standard connector combinations, you can solder on Speakon, 1/4", or banana plugs as required. This makes them ideal for custom installations, repairs, or situations where standard cables don't have the right connector types.
