The RW50 raw wire speaker cable serves sound engineers, installers, and DIY audio enthusiasts who need flexible connectivity for permanent installations or custom cable builds. This 50-foot run of professional-grade speaker cable terminates in bare wire ends on both sides, giving you complete control over your connections.

Built with 16-gauge copper conductors, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission for home audio systems, PA installations, and custom sound setups. The shielded design reduces interference while the durable PVC jacket protects against wear in both fixed installations and portable applications.

The 16-gauge wire thickness handles most home and light commercial audio applications effectively. Shielding protects your audio signal from electromagnetic interference that can degrade sound quality. The 50-foot length provides substantial reach for large rooms, outdoor setups, or routing cables around obstacles while maintaining signal integrity.

Perfect for connecting speakers with binding post terminals, building custom cables with specific connectors, or running permanent installation wiring where flexibility matters most. Use it for home theater rear surrounds, distributed audio systems, or as bulk cable for cutting custom lengths. The raw wire ends accept banana plugs, spade terminals, or direct insertion into binding posts.

Connect directly to any amplifier or speaker with binding post terminals, or add your choice of connectors through soldering. Each cable includes 50 feet of ready-to-use speaker wire.

Backed by a one-year warranty and Seismic Audio's commitment to dependable pro audio solutions at accessible prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge wire do I need for my speakers?

16-gauge wire like the RW50 works well for most home audio applications and speakers under 100 watts at distances up to 50 feet. For higher power applications or longer runs, consider 14-gauge or 12-gauge wire. The 16-gauge thickness provides good conductivity while remaining flexible for installation.

Can I add connectors to the raw wire ends?

Yes, the bare wire ends are designed for adding your choice of connectors through soldering or crimping. You can attach banana plugs, spade terminals, 1/4-inch plugs, or Speakon connectors depending on your equipment. This flexibility makes it ideal for custom cable builds or matching specific equipment requirements.

How much area will 50 feet of speaker cable cover?

A 50-foot cable run can reach across large rooms, connect outdoor speakers, or handle distributed audio installations in homes up to 2,500 square feet. The length accommodates routing around walls, through conduit, or under floors while maintaining clean signal transmission. Consider your actual routing path when measuring requirements.

What's the difference between shielded and unshielded speaker cable?

Shielded speaker cable like the RW50 includes a protective layer that reduces electromagnetic interference from nearby electronics, fluorescent lights, or wireless devices. While not always necessary for short home runs, shielding becomes important in installations near computers, Wi-Fi routers, or in commercial environments with multiple electronic devices.

Can I use this cable for both passive and powered speakers?

This speaker cable is designed for connecting amplifiers to passive speakers only. Do not use it to connect line-level signals to powered speakers, as this requires different cable types with appropriate connectors. For powered speakers, you typically need XLR or TRS cables to carry line-level signals to the built-in amplifiers.
