QRW35 - Raw Wire to 1/4" Speaker Cable 35'
The QRW35 bridges the gap between professional PA gear and home audio systems, connecting speakers with 1/4" inputs to amplifiers and receivers with raw wire terminals. This 35-foot cable eliminates the need for adapters when integrating pro audio speakers into home theater setups or connecting guitar amp speakers to different amplifier heads.
Built with 16-gauge wire and PVC jacketing, this shielded cable delivers reliable signal transfer without interference. The raw wire end terminates cleanly to binding posts, while the 1/4" connector provides secure professional-grade connection to speakers, combo amps, or extension cabinets.
Musicians use this cable to connect extension cabinets to amp heads, while home audio enthusiasts integrate PA speakers into their systems. The 35-foot length handles larger rooms, outdoor patios, or stage setups where speakers need distance from the amplifier. Churches and small venues rely on this configuration when mixing pro speakers with consumer amplifiers.
Setup is straightforward: strip and connect the raw wire end to your amplifier's red and black binding posts, then plug the 1/4" connector into your speaker. The cable includes clear polarity markings to ensure proper phase alignment.
Seismic Audio backs every QRW35 with a one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional-grade construction at a price that works for project studios, home setups, and mobile rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this cable and regular speaker wire?
This cable combines the convenience of pre-terminated 1/4" connectors with raw wire flexibility. Instead of buying separate speaker wire and adapters, you get a purpose-built solution that connects directly from binding posts to 1/4" speaker inputs. The shielded construction also reduces interference compared to basic speaker wire.
Can I use this to connect my guitar amp head to a speaker cabinet?
Yes, this cable works perfectly for connecting amp heads with binding post outputs to speaker cabinets with 1/4" inputs. The 16-gauge wire handles typical guitar amp wattages without signal loss, and the 35-foot length gives you flexibility for stage positioning or studio setups.
Will this work with my home receiver and PA speakers?
Absolutely. This cable is designed specifically for connecting home receivers or amplifiers (which typically have binding posts) to PA speakers or studio monitors (which often use 1/4" inputs). Just match the raw wire to your receiver's red/black terminals and plug the 1/4" end into your speaker.
How much power can this cable handle?
The 16-gauge wire safely carries the power output from most home receivers, guitar amps, and small PA amplifiers. This gauge is standard for moderate-power applications and provides reliable performance without the bulk of heavier cables. For high-wattage professional amplifiers, consider heavier gauge options.
Do I need to worry about which wire goes to which terminal?
Yes, proper polarity matters for optimal sound. The cable includes clear markings to help you identify positive and negative conductors. Connect the marked conductor to the red/positive terminal on your amplifier, and the unmarked to black/negative. This ensures your speakers operate in phase.
