The 3' Canare 4S11 Star Quad Speaker Cable is a handcrafted audiophile-quality speaker cable with banana to banana connectors. Each of the four Star Quad conductors is 14 gauge and when used in pairs, and the effective conductor size is 11 gauge, which virtually eliminates EMI while offering minimum resistance and a high-quality frequency response due to low capacitance. Designed for home theater, this hand-soldered cable utilizes a gold-plated banana connector at each end and features true silver soldered connections.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this a pair if cables

A: The Canare 4S11 Star Quad Speaker Cable is a single dual-banana cable, with two connectors at both ends.

Q: 2. Hi, is this a solid copper cable?

A: This Star Quad speaker cable is assembled with four internal conductor wires which are each constructed with 11 AWG, stranded annealed copper conductors.

Q: 3. Can these speaker cables be used in the wall?

A: That is not their intended use. They are not made for installation work. They are made to use outside the wall in your home. Canare makes an excellent product and I think part of the design is made to be seen. How you use them is up to you.

Q: 4. What is “stranded annealed copper conductors” - in the description ?

A: Annealing is a heat treating process that makes copper wire flexible and it also improves its conductivity -- the ability to send electronic signals through the wire. The internal copper wire conductors used to construct this audio cable are made up of individual thin strands that are bundled together to form one larger copper conductor wire which is then covered with insulation. While standard audio cables typically have two internal conductors, Star Quad cable is constructed with four separate conductors, each made up of bundles of stranded copper wires and insulated. The four-conductor construction of Star Quad cable is used to deliver a strong audio signal with high-quality sound that is free of external noise.

Q: 5. How do these speaker cables compare to Audioquest Rocket 33 speaker cables?

A: I would say the Audio Quest. They make a superlative cables no matter which ones you use.

Q: 6. The banana plugs they bring are those shown in the photo? Are they from the River Cable brand?

A: These cable are manufactured by Canare.

Q: 7. where are these made?

A: I purchased the 4S11 6 ft cables. Made in Japan is indicated on the cables. Not sure about the connectors. These cables and connectors are high quality. Worth every dollar.

Q: 8. What is the brand of this cable? I know they use canare wire. Thanks.

A: These are Canare brand cables.

Q: 9. Specifically, please confirm if these cables are OFC or not ?

A: The Canare 4S11 Star Quad Speaker Cable Dual Banana to Dual Banana (6'), B&H # CA4S112B2B6, is not an OFC cable. Canare uses a "G" suffix to denote OFC composition.

Q: 10. is it one cable, or a pair(one for each speaker)?

A: It is a single ( 2-conductor) cable designed to connect a single speaker.
