12 best speaker cable for guitar amp

Product description

GLS Audio speaker cables are manufactured with the highest grade materials in the industry. The copper wire is rated in AWG spec which stands for "American Wire Gauge". The AWG rating was developed by the USA as a result of some wire manufacturers stating their wire was a certain spec when it really wasn't. You'll notice most imported wire and cable manufacturers will rate their wire in "G" or Gauge (not AWG). The "G" rating can be used for any wire size. For example: A 12G rated cable may only be equivalent to a 18AWG cable (or worse). There are no regulations or specifications on "G" rated cables. How can you determine if a "G" rated cable is the same spec as an AWG cable? Unfortunately, you can't unless you test the power loss per foot. Sometimes the weight may be an indicator. For example: GLS Audio 50ft 12AWG cables weigh about 4lbs whereas most of our competitors weigh about 2.5lbs. This may be a result of the copper wire gauge not being true AWG.

• True 12AWG Rated (American Wire Gauge)
• Professional Quality and Construction
• Thick 10.5mm Durable & Flexible Rubber Jacke
• GLS Audio Hook and Loop Wrap (Reusable)

User questions & answers

Question:	can i connect my 12in. sub to my powered mixer with this cable
Answer:	I would think so, but if it doesn't you can return it and get your money back. I use it with 2 ADJ products and it works great for those.
Question:	will it work to connect my orange micro dark amp head to my 4x12 laney cab with 8 ohms speakers
Answer:	H2O effect has one switch on the back, and it simply controls the turning of the color wheel. Turn it on, and the color wheel changes. Turn it off, and the color wheel stops on whichever color it is presently on.A UC3 would prove useless with the basic H2O effect, however, the H2O DMX Pro does make good use of a UC3 controller. With the H2O DMX Pro version, the UC3 controls 1. blackout 2. the glass (water effect) speed, and 3. LED on/off/blinking. The H2O DMX Pro is also MUCH brighter than the regular H2O effect.
Question:	would this cable work to connect sound from my laptop to my stereo receiver? like an audio input/output
Answer:	If you have them set up separately than no. If you have the same special effects lighting linked than yes.
Question:	Is the cable 3 feet including the jacks or is it 3 feet of cable and additional length of the jacks
Answer:	It's a 110 plug. I had to ad a reostat to it to slow down the motor. We mounted it in a 30x50 shop for a party and it turned too fast in a confined area. Reostat=dimmer switch sold at local hardware store in lighting section

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to connect from wireless mic receiver to mixer
Answer:	Depends on type and size of female connector at receiver and mixer if you have both types and one is a 1/4 inch on each yes it will work.
Question:	Is this the cable I’d use for a guitar amp to the cab
Answer:	Yes, although guitar cables work the sound quality is terrible. It always best to use this cable between the amp and cab
Question:	can this cable be used to connect my casio to my audio interface unit so that I can have headphones that run thru my complete setup
Answer:	Hi Kimberly,Thank you for your interest in our GLS Audio products. This "Speaker Cable" is not recommended for that type of use. You need a shielded patch cable. We sell those also. You need to find out if you need a 1/4" TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) balanced cable or a 1/4" TS (Tip/Sleeve) non-balanced cable. Either may work, but it's always best to find out before you buy. You should contact both Casio and the company that made your audio interface to find out which cable you will need. You can view all our products at: www.amazon.com/gp/shops/AD6O342M484G6Best Regards,Bryan SundaGLS Audio800-897-8273
Question:	Hi, Is this cable shielded/balanced
Answer:	No. Speaker cables use twin lead like a lamp cord. There is not a shield. A shield is for cables that have a very low signal strength, like an instrument.Look at your speaker. It has two wires going to it.Therefore, the cable has two conductors and so does the jack. T/S. (Tip/ Sleeve) Balanced has three conductors RTS (ring tip sleeve)These are designed to carry higher current. that why they may be as much as 12 ga wire. Not interchangeable with instrument. (in theory)

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I tell which wire is positive? Is it the one with writing on it
Answer:	the one that wires to the ctr of the plug
Question:	Is the wire that has writing the positive /live wire? Trying to figure if that would be considered the red wire
Answer:	For me the writing was on negative side. Checking by taking the pancake plug apart and tracing which wire goes to ground is how I verified it as per David’s answer.
Question:	Is there a way to get something like sold sold by Amazon so you can free shipping? (shipping cost as much as the wire
Answer:	Unfortunately, the shipping charge can not be waived.
Question:	Which side of the wire is positive or negative? Both are black wires
Answer:	Typically, there will be a white stripe or dashed line to indicate that that particular line is positive. The other should be blank..
