Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the AudioQuest FLX-16/2 16-Gauge 2-Conductor In-Wall Speaker Cable by Tara W. Quality in-wall speaker cable on a budget Enjoy crisp, detailed sound with this two-conductor in-wall speaker cable from AudioQuest. It features 19 precisely arranged, tightly packed strands in each conductor for excellent signal transfer and low distortion. Plus, twisted pair construction minimizes radio frequency and electromagnetic interference to keep your music noise-free. Handy extras for easy installation AudioQuest includes sequential footage markers on the cable jacket to simplify measuring. Directional arrows tell you which way the signal should flow through the cable for the best sound. Durable in-wall- and direct burial-rated speaker wire When you're running wire inside your walls or underground, it's important that you use speaker cable that's approved for that purpose. This cable's CL3 certification means it passed safety tests administered by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) for in-wall usage. AudioQuest's FLX cables are also rated for direct burial. You can run FLX cables to your outdoor speakers and bury them in the ground without a protective conduit. Highlights:16-gauge, 2-conductor cable (16/2)UL-rated for in-wall installationrated for direct burialhigh-purity copper for high-integrity signal transferConcentric Pack stranding ensures high conductivity and low distortiontwisted pair construction combats interferencesequential footage markers printed on jacket for accurate cable measurements during installationdirectional arrows tell you which way the signal should flow for the best soundwarranty: 5 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) What’s in the box? | In-depth notes Product Research Product Research What's in the box? 50' Spool of 2-conductor 16 gauge speaker wire Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: The FLX-DB16/2 in-wall speaker cable has two 16 gauge conductors to supply wiring for one speaker. Using Semi-Solid packing, the individual copper strands within the bundle don't change position, resulting in reduced distortion. The long grain structure in the low distortion, oxygen free, high-conductivity copper AudioQuest uses results in a natural sound, uncolored by the cable. The Star-Quad geometry lowers cable inductance, reducing susceptibility to external noise sources.
