Building Your Sound System with Monster Cable Bi-Wire Speaker Cables
A surround-sound music speaker system can be complicated to configure and install without the proper supplies. Monster cable bi-wire speaker cables will help you connect your audio components together. Position your speakers for optimal sound without worrying about the distance from the main console.
What materials are Monster cable bi-wiring products made of?The bi-wiring cable is made of copper threads surrounded by plastic shielding. Some of the speaker cable cords are white and can be painted to blend into the wall color. The speaker cable is packaged around a spool or in a plastic clamshell that is designed for easy dispensing. The cable is then cut off from the spool to the correct length needed between the speaker and the master console.
What type of audio devices use Monster cables to connect?When hooked up to a professional sound system, Monster cables will send signals to the following devices:
- Speakers: The bi-wiring cable will have two threads on each end. Strip enough of the shielding off with a wire cutter or stripper so that the exposed end can clamp or wrap around the input on the speaker.
- Consoles: The other end of the cable needs to connect to the main amplifier. The cable needs to be inserted in the specific channel, depending on the placement of the speaker (left, right, center, rear left, rear right, subwoofer). The amplifier will also need a playback device connected as an input, and many models of amplifiers have a radio tuner built-in. You can then run a test of the connected system by playing sound from the source and then listening next to each speaker.
When using Monster cable products to configure and install a sound system, keep these safety concerns in mind:
- One: The audio signal that travels through Monster cable wire uses an electric charge to work correctly. Install cables away from heat sources and areas prone to moisture.
- Two: Caution when anchoring cables to walls and floors. Do not puncture them with nails, staples, or any other sharp objects.
- Three: To avoid trips and falls, be mindful of running cables in high traffic areas.
- Four: Only use speaker cable for the intended purpose stated on the product packaging. Using this type of cable for any highly electric powered purpose can be extremely dangerous.
- Five: Discontinue use of any wires that are frayed, broken, or have shielding stripped and exposed conductor material in the middle.
