Monoprice 12AWG 50ft CL2 Speaker Wire

This Monoprice speaker wire supplies 50 continuous feet of 12AWG two-conductor cable on a spool. The white outer jacket carries a CL2 rating for safe installation inside residential walls. Conductors use oxygen-free 99.95 percent pure bare copper for high conductivity.

Ideal for whole-home audio runs needing in-wall

Installers pulling wire through stud cavities for surround sound or distributed audio will appreciate the CL2 rating and low-resistance copper. Buyers who need pre-terminated connectors or a different gauge for shorter runs should look at other options.

12AWG oxygen-free copper conductor gauge

The 12AWG thickness keeps resistance low over the full 50ft length, preserving amplifier damping factor and frequency response. Thinner wire would add the 68 percent conductivity penalty typical of copper-clad aluminium alternatives.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12AWG 50 ft reel or a thinner gauge for my surround speakers?

The 12AWG gauge keeps resistance low over the full 50 ft run, which is ideal for longer surround or rear-channel cables; thinner gauges add more resistance per foot.

How does the 99.95 percent pure oxygen-free copper affect sound compared with typical copper-clad aluminium wire?

Pure bare copper is about 68 percent more conductive than CCA, so the speaker sees lower added resistance and the amplifier delivers cleaner current to the drivers.

What does the CL2 rating on the white jacket allow me to do during installation?

CL2 means the jacket meets fire-safety requirements for in-wall runs in residential buildings, so you can pull the wire through stud cavities without extra conduit.
