Kõlarijuhtmed

Kõlarijuhtmed, also known as speaker cables, are electrical conductors used to connect a loudspeaker to an audio amplifier. Their primary function is to transmit the amplified audio signal from the amplifier's output terminals to the speaker's input terminals. The quality of the speaker cable can influence the fidelity of the audio signal reaching the speaker, affecting aspects like clarity, detail, and bass response.

The construction of speaker cables typically involves two or more insulated conductors, often made of copper. The gauge, or thickness, of the wire is a significant factor. Thicker gauge wires (lower AWG numbers) offer less resistance, which is generally preferable for longer cable runs or higher power applications, as it minimizes signal loss and potential distortion. The insulation material surrounding the conductors also plays a role in preventing signal interference and ensuring electrical safety.

Speaker cables can vary in complexity. Basic cables consist of two simple wires, while more advanced designs may employ multiple conductors, shielding, and specialized connectors. The type of connector used at each end, such as banana plugs, spade connectors, or bare wire, is determined by the terminals on the amplifier and the loudspeaker. Proper connection ensures optimal signal transfer and a secure electrical path.
