50150 GAC-SPK 2 x 2.5mm2 Quaxial speaker cable

GAC-SPK 2 x 2.5mm² (50150) Quaxial Loudspeaker cable

Loudspeaker cables are transporting very high levels. In an ideal situation we want to have the lowest possible resistance between amplifier and speaker. In order to get closest to this figure, one should accommodate as much copper to the connector as possible to minimize the energy loss and the possible change of the sound performance of your system. Using a cable with a too small diameter can result the copper to transport the energy to its saturation, which will first decrease the level of high frequencies (cable gets warm or even hot) and affect your sound level and quality. Gotham currently offers two different speaker cable types which can be combined as single line, stereo line or Biphase lines and/or put together for lower resistance. All Gotham speaker cables are protected with ultra strong oil, heat and cold resistant polyurethan (PUR) jacket . The double layer copper strands for the outside line are built to keep a good flexibility and the stronger stranding of the center conductor (line) will keep the unwanted memory (bendings) to the minimum. Conductor 1 A&B and conductor 2 = 2x2,5mm2. Conductors 1A&B are not considered shields!



Construction 
1 = Jacket: PUR, Ø 6.8mm, blue (dark)
2 = Separation: PVC, Ø 6.1mm, white
3 = Conductor 1A: Bare copper wires (0.20mm)
4 = Conductor 1B: Bare copper wires (0.20mm) = 1A & 1B = total 2.5 mm²
5 = Insulation: PVC, Ø 4.0mm, red
6 = Conductor 2: (OFC) Stranded bare copper wires 50 x 0.25mm (2.50mm²)

Application notice for connection the cable conductors:


The 2x2.5 SPK cable can be used as a 2x2,5 (center conductor = positive, outer 2 lawyer  together = 2,5mm Copper as well= negative )  this is  connection for a 2x2.5mm connection.

However, one can reduce attenuation and increase volume of your speaker line by using each a  50150 for positive and negative, then one twist all copper = 1x5,0mm Copper.

2x5,0mm copper SPK line will be superior line as one has less resistance (lower signal loss) , consequently one can drive the amplifier at lower amplification, which will improve distortion and general audio quality.

Therefore, yes I can suggest to use 2x5,0mm for an SPK line, however we do not support the usual idea that a cable can improve your sound system in general, it will never be better than original source, just that one want the SPK line to minimal influence the audio signal.
