  • 588 strands of 99.99% OFC copper for pure signal transfer
  • 24K gold-plated Eminence spade plugs fit 6 mm and 8 mm binding posts
  • Tough yet flexible proprietary PVC jacket protects conductors
  • 40 foot pair ready for audiophile speaker connections

Audiophile speaker cable pair

This 40-foot pair uses 99.99% oxygen-free copper with 588 fine strands of 0.12mm diameter across two 12AWG cores. An expanded dumbbell layout increases spacing between conductors for very low capacitance and inductance. Eminence gold-plated multi-spade connectors fit 8mm and 6mm binding posts. The cables are built for listeners entering high-fidelity audio without excessive cost.

Low-capacitance low-inductance design

The widened core separation targets minimal capacitance and inductance for a speaker cable in this class. A proprietary PVC-blend jacket provides durability while staying highly flexible for easier routing. Gold-plated spades resist corrosion and maintain consistent contact resistance over time. No active electronics or power draw are involved, so thermal and noise considerations do not apply.

Upgrade from basic zip cord

This pair replaces thin, unshielded zip cord or generic stranded wire that adds measurable capacitance over long runs. The jump is worth it when cable lengths approach 40 feet and the amplifier or speakers reveal detail loss from high cable reactance. It is not for buyers who need in-wall CL2 or CL3 ratings, installed lengths beyond 40 feet, or banana-plug termination instead of spades.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Eminence Gold spade plugs to my amplifier and speakers?

Slide each gold-plated multi-spade onto an 8 mm or 6 mm binding post and tighten the post securely; the plugs are pre-terminated so no stripping or crimping is required.

Will the PVC-blend jacket or the OFC conductors degrade over time?

The proprietary PVC-blend jacket is designed for long-term flexibility and the 99.99 % OFC strands resist oxidation, so no periodic maintenance or conductor replacement is expected.

At what length does capacitance or inductance become audible with this 12 AWG dumbbell design?

The expanded dumbbell geometry keeps capacitance and inductance extremely low, and at the supplied 40-foot length they remain well below levels that affect audible frequency response.
