At ElectroMarket, we have a selection of speaker cables that are both affordable and hard-wearing, ensuring that they'll last you much longer than lesser PA system cables on the market. As with any cable, you'll find that your PA system cables may be exposed to wear and tear, especially if you're in the mobile DJ trade and are transporting your gear from venue to venue.

Buy PA System Cables

We have a wide range of PA system speaker cables which send signals from microphones and instruments straight to your speaker for amplification. Other options we have available include options to extend your IEC leads beyond their current lengths, allowing you to connect a few of these to get more distance from the power source to your sound system. We stock various protective cables for wall and ceiling speaker systems, you can choose the length to suit your needs or for larger jobs grab a roll of 100 metres and cut off exactly what you need.

PA System speaker cables are great for connecting your speakers to additional equipment or another speaker (via daisy-chaining). These cables can send both power and other signals to their desired destination and covering many uses. Speaker cables are very important in the lifespan of your speaker, and while protecting against the elements, normal wear and tear will happen over time.

While unlikely, if your cables do eventually succumb to the hectic nature of the live music circuit, it is good to own some backup cables. Even if the backups are kept in your vehicle until needed it is wise to prepare for this to happen.

PA System Speaker Cables

We also stock a variety of instrument cables on this page appropriate for our Fenton FTLED range of PA speaker systems amongst others in the Vonyx PA system range. These speakers feature the 6.35mm jack inputs that our selection of cables here are ideal for, allowing for the connection of electric instruments such as electric guitars, bass guitars and keyboards.

When it comes to speaker connections, we understand that purchasing the correct cable can sometimes be slightly confusing if you are not somebody who knows a great deal about this subject. If customers ever feel that they need a little bit of additional advice on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the customer services team at any point. You can do this through using the live chat function on our site or calling us on 0203 326 0900.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cables are best for speakers?

The best cables for speakers depend on the specific needs of your audio system, including the power handling, length required, and the type of connectors your equipment uses. For most home and professional audio setups, copper cables are preferred due to their excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, which helps maintain sound quality over time. The gauge of the cable is also important; thicker cables (lower gauge numbers) are better for longer distances or higher power applications, as they reduce signal loss. Ensure the cable ends are compatible with your speakers and amplifier for a secure connection.

What size speaker cable to run?

The size of speaker cable you should run depends on two main factors: the distance between your amplifier and speakers, and the power handling of your system. For shorter distances, 0.75mm cable is generally sufficient for most home audio setups. For distances between 20 to 50 feet, a thicker 1.5mm cable is recommended to ensure minimal signal loss. For very long runs over 50 feet, or for systems with high power requirements, even thicker cables such as 2.5mm might be necessary. Thicker cables reduce resistance, ensuring better signal quality and power delivery to your speakers, especially in setups requiring high power or long cable runs.

Is thicker speaker cable better?

Thicker speaker cable can be better in certain situations due to its lower resistance, which helps in reducing signal loss over long distances and in high-power applications. This means that for longer runs between your amplifier and speakers, or when driving speakers with a high power requirement, a thicker cable ensures that more of the audio signal reaches the speakers without degradation.

However, for shorter distances and lower power setups, the difference in sound quality between thicker and thinner cables may not be noticeable. Therefore, while thicker cables can offer benefits for specific setups, the choice should be based on the specific requirements of your audio system, including distance, power levels, and overall system compatibility.

How do I know what speaker cable to use?

To determine the right speaker cable, consider the following factors: the distance between your speakers and amplifier (longer distances generally require thicker cables to minimise signal loss), the power output of your amplifier (higher power might necessitate thicker cables for safe and efficient transmission), and the type of connectors your equipment uses (such as Jack, NL2, or bare wire for direct connection).

What speaker cable gives the best sound quality?

The sound quality of speaker cables is influenced by their material, construction, and compatibility with your audio system. It's important to select a cable gauge (thickness) appropriate for the length of the run and the power output of your system, with thicker (lower gauge) cables being preferable for longer distances or higher power needs to minimise resistance and preserve signal integrity. While high-quality cables can enhance sound quality, the difference may be subtle and varies depending on the listener's sensitivity and the overall quality of the audio system.

Are Jack speaker cables the same as audio Jacks?

Jack speaker cables and audio jacks refer to related but distinct concepts in audio equipment connectivity.

"Jack speaker cables" typically imply the use of cables with 1/4-inch (6.35mm) TS connectors for connecting speakers to amplifiers or mixing consoles. These are often used in live sound setups and professional audio environments. The "jack" here refers to the type of connector at the end of the cable.

"Audio jacks," on the other hand, are more general and refer to the physical interface or port that can accommodate various types of audio connectors, including the 1/4-inch TS or TRS, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and others. Audio jacks can be found on a wide range of devices, from consumer electronics like smartphones and laptops to professional audio equipment.
