Speaker cable can vary enormously in price but is it worth the money?
When it comes to high-end audio installations, the speaker cable used can make a significant difference in the quality of the sound produced. Good quality speaker cable can enhance the sound quality, providing better clarity, detail, and dynamics. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the advantages of using good quality speaker cable. For reference we tend to use Kordz speaker cable as it’s good quality, robust and we know it will work well.

- Improved Sound Quality : The most significant advantage of using good quality speaker cable in a high-end audio installation is the improved sound quality. The better the cable, the better the sound quality. Good quality speaker cable can transmit the full frequency range of the audio signal accurately and without any distortion.This results in better clarity, detail, and dynamics. Kordz speaker cable is an excellent example of a high-quality speaker cable that can enhance the sound quality of your audio installation.
- Better Durability : Good quality speaker cable is built to last, providing better durability than cheaper cables. It tends to be designed with high-quality materials and construction techniques. This ensures that it will last for many years without any degradation in performance. Which means that you won’t have to worry about replacing your cables frequently, saving you both time and money in the long run.
- Reduced Noise : Good quality speaker cable can also help to reduce noise and interference in your audio installation. Cheaper cables are more susceptible to noise and interference. This can negatively impact the sound quality. Kordz speaker cable features advanced shielding technology that minimizes noise and interference, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sound.
- Easy Installation : Good quality speaker cable is often easier to install than cheaper cables. Kordz speaker cable, features an easy-to-use connector system. This ensures a secure and reliable connection between your speakers and your audio equipment. It is also marked per metre allowing better accuracy for installation amounts required. Installation is quicker and easier, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your high-end audio installation.
- Safety : Good quality internal speaker cable should be Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) which is highly recommended for hidden cabling. It’s free from Halogen which causes toxic smoke if ignited. We use it in all of our installations using internal speaker cabling work. If you’re installing in public buildings/new builds we would highly recommend installing this type of cabling.
So yes, using good quality speaker cable in a high-end audio installation is essential to achieving the best possible sound quality. Kordz speaker cable is an excellent example of a high-quality cable that can enhance the sound quality. It will improve durability, reduce noise and interference, and make installation quick and easy. When paired with high-end speakers such as Sonance speakers, the result is a truly exceptional audio experience. When used it is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophile.
But what are the costs involved?
Well it can vary depending on what speakers you’re using. If it’s just a couple of runs, then using Kordz One LSOH speaker cable is £3.99 per metre. You can order it direct from us if you want to fit the speakers yourself or we will supply when fitting. If you’re getting a bigger installation (such as a house full of speakers) then buying by the drum is generally cheaper.
If you’re renovating/building and you’re unsure if how many speakers you’ll want then ensure you put in enough cable. You can always add the speakers a couple of years down the line. However putting cabling in later once the build is complete, can be a nightmare.
If you’re unsure, just pop in for a chat or get in touch and we can go through your options. Our installers have years of experience installing speakers and working in lots of environments with different trades.
