The QRW35 four-pack connects powered speakers and monitors with 1/4" inputs to amplifiers, receivers, or mixing consoles with binding post outputs. This cable set solves the common problem of mismatched connections in home audio, church sound systems, and small venue installations.

Each 35-foot cable features a standard 1/4" TS connector on one end and stripped raw wire on the other, allowing direct connection to binding posts or terminal blocks. The 16-gauge construction handles speaker-level signals without signal loss, while PVC jacketing and shielding protect against interference and physical damage.

At 35 feet, these cables provide enough length for permanent installations where speakers need to be positioned away from the amp rack or for home theater setups with rear surround speakers. The four-pack covers a complete stereo pair plus two additional zones or monitor sends. The shielded design prevents hum and noise pickup in electrically noisy environments.

Connect floor monitors to your mixing console's monitor outputs, run surround speakers from your home receiver's binding posts, or wire distributed audio systems in churches and small venues. The 16-gauge wire handles up to several hundred watts per channel without voltage drop concerns.

Installation requires stripping the raw wire ends and connecting red to positive, black to negative on your amplifier's binding posts. The 1/4" ends plug directly into speaker inputs. Each cable is clearly marked for polarity.

Seismic Audio backs these cables with a one-year warranty and ships them ready to install.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between speaker cables and instrument cables?

Speaker cables like the QRW35 carry high-power, low-impedance signals from amplifiers to passive speakers. They use heavier gauge wire (16 AWG) and are unbalanced, unlike instrument cables which carry low-level signals and use lighter gauge wire. Never use instrument cables for speaker connections as they can overheat and fail.

Can I use these cables with active/powered speakers?

No, these cables are designed for passive speakers only. Active speakers have built-in amplifiers and require line-level input signals, typically via XLR or 1/4" TRS inputs. The QRW35 carries speaker-level signals that would damage active speakers. For powered speakers, use standard audio cables instead.

How much power can 16-gauge wire handle at 35 feet?

The 16-gauge construction handles several hundred watts per channel at typical speaker impedances (4-8 ohms) with minimal voltage drop. For most home audio and small PA applications under 300 watts, signal loss is negligible. Higher power applications may benefit from shorter cable runs or heavier gauge wire.

What amplifier outputs do the raw wire ends connect to?

The stripped wire ends connect to binding posts, spring terminals, or screw terminals on amplifiers, receivers, or powered mixers. Connect the marked positive (red) wire to the red/positive terminal and negative (black) wire to the black/negative terminal. Ensure connections are tight to prevent buzzing or intermittent signal.

Will these work for connecting subwoofers to my receiver?

Yes, if your subwoofer has 1/4" inputs and your receiver has binding post outputs, these cables will work perfectly. Many home subwoofers accept speaker-level inputs alongside line inputs, allowing connection directly from receiver speaker outputs. Check your subwoofer manual to confirm it accepts speaker-level signals before connecting.
