Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9 Speaker Cable - 4 Foot, Banana to Banana, Single
Best sound enhancement for dedicated audio enthusiasts.
The Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval 9 Speaker Cable is the latest iteration of the popular Oval Nine. It features improved connectors and a dielectric with a faster rise time for enhanced performance. The cable boasts an optimized oval geometry for more uniform current distribution, a design born from extensive analysis of conventional round and rectangular conductors to minimize signal degradation. Each cable is handcrafted, requiring over an hour of work to complete, utilizing high-purity oxygen-free copper and a computer-matched dielectric. This cable is lauded for outperforming significantly more expensive alternatives, offering exceptional transparency, low-end resolution, and depth.

Know before you buy
The hollow oval geometry ensures a more uniform current distribution across the conductor compared to traditional round or rectangular shapes. This design minimizes signal degradation, resulting in improved transparency and better low-end resolution.
Despite the heavy 9-gauge construction, the braided conductor design provides enough flexibility for easy routing behind your audio equipment. The black mesh jacket also helps maintain a balance between durability and manageability.
This iteration features upgraded connectors and a new dielectric material that allows for a faster rise time. These refinements are designed to improve signal speed and overall sonic clarity compared to the previous model.
Yes, the 9-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors are well-suited for high-performance speakers. The cable is engineered to handle the current demands of demanding systems while maintaining signal integrity.
This specific unit is terminated with banana plugs on both ends. This makes it compatible with most standard binding posts found on modern amplifiers and speakers.
Each cable requires over an hour of manual labor to terminate, ensuring that the connection between the conductor and the plug is precise and secure. This attention to detail helps prevent signal loss and ensures long-term reliability.
