How to choose an acoustic cable
Acoustic cables used to connectmusical equipment and tools. At the heart of each cable is a conductor, on which the quality of sound transmission depends, which in turn affects its reproduction. When choosing a product, you need to be guided by some important parameters.
Instructions
1
The main element of the cable is the centralA conductor through which musical instruments receive a signal. A quality wire is capable of providing sound transmission without any interference. In the most high-quality products the element is made of highly purified oxygen-free copper, which is capable of providing high-quality sound, practically without distorting it.

When choosing a product, quality is also importantmaking a connector that connects to the audio output. It is best that the plug is covered with gold or silver. These metals provide the highest quality transmission of sound through the cable to the device. When buying, pay attention to the insulation - the better it is made, the better the wire is made.

The quality of the received sound also depends onthe length of the product - the smaller it is, the less inductance is observed, which weakens the load on the amplifier and provides a minimal effect on the sound. The entire length of the wire should also be marked - it is desirable that it was on every meter of the product and contained a designation of the section and the name of the manufacturer.

The best insulation for the cable is Teflonwith a low density. Also there are wires covered with polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. The latter material is the cheapest and negatively affects the sound, i. E. low quality. The longer this cable, the more this effect of polyvinyl chloride is felt.

If you want to achieve the most puresound, do not use the cables that come with the purchased equipment. This is due to the fact that manufacturers often save on the production of components, and therefore a quality wire can only be purchased separately.
