Speaker cable is used to connect the speaker outputs on audio devices such as a receiver or amplifier to the inputs on the speaker(s).
Speaker cable can be used bare or with pin, banana, spade or ring terminals.
Computer speaker cable is twin axial cable used for transferring a signal generated by a computer to speakers for broadcasting sound. Electronics companies such as Maplins sell speaker cable as do third party retailers such as Amazon.
TRS is the name of the type of connector (e.g. 1/4"/6.3mm jack) and speaker cable is exactly what it is, speaker cable.
An Aux cable, or Auxilary cable is used to plug into a speaker and provides sound. These can be purchased from any hardware or electronics store(s), such as Dick Smith or JB Hi-Fi.
No. As long as the cable is the correct gauge for your speaker load, there is no difference in sound between expensive cable and "zip" cord.
Speaker cable can have an insulator that could be any color. The wire inside is typically silver, copper or gold colored.
No, the speaker has a negative and positive port, they both need to be plugged into for it to work. if they aren't, then the speaker will not create sound
To connect a microphone to a speaker, you will need an audio cable with the appropriate connectors. Plug one end of the cable into the microphone and the other end into the input on the speaker. Adjust the volume levels on both the microphone and the speaker to ensure clear sound output.
There are audiophiles who believe that the type and the manufacture of speaker cable is critical to sound quality and they are willing to spend several thousand dollars in some cases to obtain the "best" speaker cable. This answer ignores the audiophile community as they would not seek an answer to the question of speaker cables in a forum such as this. Speaker cable in its basic form is there to pass electrical energy from an amplifier to a speaker. Generally, the bigger the copper cable, the better it will do the job. For that reason, low cost solutions often use mains power cable. A mains flex rated for 20 to 30 amps will work well and will not break the bank. Take a look in hardware stores for an endless supply of mains flex. Alternatively, dedicated speaker cable can be bought in any electronics and hi-fi stores although the cost of speaker cable in stores can be considerably higher than very similar specifications of mains flex.
No. The conductor size is way too small. The loss of power to the speaker would be huge, and a decent-sized amp could easily overheat the wires. Bad idea.
Speaker cables can run 100 feet before you need to be concerned. If in doubt, use the largest wire (the lower the number the larger the wire) you can find. Large extension cord wireis commonly used for long runs.
Speakers are analog devices. There is no cable and connector that will connect a digital audio jack to a speaker without a digital to analog conversion and an amplifier. If the audio output is digital, you will need a compatible amplifier that has the same digital input. Then you will need to link the amplifier to the speaker with exterior grade cable.
