Know before you buy
Yes, while they are engineered to complement McIntosh components, these cables are compatible with any high-end audio system that accepts spade connectors.
The directional arrow indicates the intended signal flow from your amplifier to your speakers. Following this orientation ensures the cable's internal geometry is properly synchronized for optimal signal transmission.
Yes, these cables are UL CL2 rated, meaning they meet the safety standards required for safe in-wall routing.
These cables are terminated with gold-plated, solid brass spade connectors. You will need speaker binding posts that can accommodate a spade lug connection.
With an outside diameter of 15.8mm, these are substantial cables. While the black nylon webbing provides a flexible and attractive finish, you should ensure you have enough clearance behind your components for the cable's thickness.
The cable utilizes 9 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors. This heavy-gauge construction is designed to minimize resistance and ensure full fidelity power transfer over the 5-meter length.
