The RW35 raw wire speaker cable is designed for DIY audio enthusiasts, permanent installations, and anyone building custom PA connections. This 35-foot cable gives you the flexibility to terminate connections exactly how your setup requires.

This shielded speaker cable delivers reliable audio transmission between amplifiers and speakers without signal degradation. The 16-gauge wire construction provides sufficient current capacity for most home audio and small venue applications while maintaining clean signal transfer.

The cable features 16 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors wrapped in durable black PVC jacket with shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference. Raw wire terminations on both ends let you add your choice of connectors – whether that's binding posts, barrier strips, Speakon connectors, or 1/4" plugs. The 35-foot length handles medium-distance runs between rack-mounted amplifiers and speakers in small venues, home theaters, or rehearsal spaces.

Perfect for connecting speakers with binding post terminals, building custom cable assemblies, or creating permanent installation runs where standard pre-made cables don't fit your exact requirements. Works with any amplifier or powered speaker that accepts raw wire connections through spring-loaded terminals or barrier strips.

Both ends are stripped and ready for your chosen termination method – whether you're soldering connectors, using crimp terminals, or connecting directly to binding posts. Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to get your custom setup running quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge wire do I need for my speaker setup?

16 AWG wire like the RW35 handles most home audio and small venue applications up to moderate power levels. For runs under 50 feet with speakers under 200 watts, 16 gauge provides adequate current capacity without significant voltage drop. Higher power applications or longer runs may require thicker 14 or 12 gauge wire.

Can I add my own connectors to these raw wire ends?

Yes, the bare wire ends are specifically designed for custom termination. You can solder on Speakon connectors, 1/4" plugs, spade terminals, or banana plugs depending on your equipment. The stripped ends are ready for whatever connection method your amplifiers and speakers require.

How do I connect raw wire to my speakers?

Most speakers accept raw wire through binding posts (red and black terminals) or spring-loaded connectors. Simply insert the positive conductor into the red terminal and negative into black, ensuring no loose strands create short circuits. Twist wire ends tightly or add spade terminals for the most secure connection.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor events?

The PVC jacket provides basic protection against moisture and abrasion, making it suitable for covered outdoor use or temporary setups. For permanent outdoor installations exposed to weather, consider cables with UV-resistant jackets specifically rated for direct burial or outdoor exposure.

What's the difference between raw wire cable and pre-made speaker cables?

Raw wire cables offer maximum flexibility since you choose the end connectors, while pre-made cables come with fixed terminations like 1/4" or Speakon plugs. Raw wire works best for custom installations, permanent setups, or when your equipment has binding posts rather than standard audio connectors.
