We love these Gig Tuff speaker cables! Gig Tuff's engineers worked with pro-audio veterans to design a tour-grade speaker cable with high-performance features at an affordable price.
The heart of a speaker cable is the wire. Thick, 12 gauge OFC (oxygen-free copper) wire minimizes losses between amp and speaker. Good tour sound requires wire with very low electrical resistance to achieve the correct damping factor. Damping is a measure of how accurately the amplifier can control the movement of the speaker cone. With 8-ohm, 4-ohm or 2-ohm speakers a wire of 12 gauge (AWG) or better is recommended. Remember that with wire, the lower the gauge the bigger the wire size. Smaller speaker wire, such as 14- or 16-gauge, has higher resistance per foot and can result in sound with poor definition in the low frequency range. Low frequency transients such as kick drum hits will sound “muddy” instead of that crisp “punch” we would ideally want from the system. Gig Tuff Big Red speaker cable uses high-current capacity 12 gauge (AWG) OFC wire wrapped in a rugged 9mm outside diameter (OD) red jacket.
High-quality plugs are a must for reliable connections to amplifier and speaker. These 1/4" to 1/4" male cables use jumbo plugs with oversize barrels. They feel great in the hand and provide a protected space around the soldered wire connections without any tightness that might lead to short circuits in a smaller plug. A clear insulator surrounds and protects the solder points. These plugs feature a beefy cable clamp for strain protection and flexible rubber boots that are superior to heatshrink for bending relief.
Now you may be asking, why a red color? With their distinctive red color it's easy to pick out these speaker cables on a stage crowded with black cables. That makes it easier to be aware of potential crosstalk problems from where high-power and low-level signal cables are laying in close proximity. But we think they also just look cool, and we love the look of the short versions of these cables when they connect a boutique amp head to the speaker cabinet.
