The 20' 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. Can the banana plugs be removed to show the bare wire?

A: The banana plugs are permanently soldered to the cable leads. The banana plugs can be removed, but would need to be unsoldered or cut off.

Q: 2. are there two sets per box to connect two speakers or do you have to order "2"?

A: This is single cable with banana connectors on both ends. The cable is constructed with two sections -- the red side is for connecting the hot signal and the black side is for connecting to ground. This cable will connect to one speaker. You will need a second cable to connect your second speaker. This item (B&H # CA4S112B2B12) is one Canare 4S11 cable.

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. Wouldn't this single Canare quad speaker dual banana to dual banana be sufficient alone to connect to a center channel speaker?

A: It would depend on the connectors on the back of the center-channel speaker that you want to connect to.

Q: 5. 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: 6. What can I use to split the connection for two speakers into one output? One output from the preamp going to two speakers.

A: Generally, an output may be split to two speakers with a simple "Y" type cable. Isuues arise when the impedance is too low; for instance, id the two speakers are 4 ohm and split from one output, the impedance then becomes 2 ohms; an impedance this low is almost always an issue for an amplifier. Also by changing the impedance which an amplifer is "seeing" will affect the loudness, so be aware and proceed with caution. Two 8 ohm speakers connected to one output of an amp is almost always ok, using a quality Y splitter and quality cables. Again, it WILL get louder!!

Q: 7. What is the exact model of this cable 4S11 or 4S11G? because one of them is OFC and the other is not!

A: CANARE model number: CA4S112B2B6

Q: 8. 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: 9. 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: 10. Are these locking bans plugs on the canare brand?

A: Yes, the Canare 4S11 Star Quad Speaker Cable Dual Banana to Dual Banana (6') BH #CA4S112B2B6 has locking connectors.
