That&#8217;s because they&#8217;re not driven by an external amplifier; you just plug them into an electrical outlet and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<p>But passive speakers, like the kind found in home audio and hi-fi systems, for example, use wire connected to an amplifier and to the speakers themselves for power. In a studio context, the famous Yamaha NS-10s are a perfect example of a passive speaker requiring an amplifier source and speaker wire to connect them all up.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/audio-cable-types\/\">Understanding Different Audio Cable Types &amp; Their Uses<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Understanding the AWG Scale<\/h3>\n<p>AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It&#8217;s a universally accepted system that&#8217;s been the standard since 1857 for any electrically conducting wire. One important thing to remember is that lower numbers are thicker wires, and higher numbers are thinner wires.<\/p>\n<p>12-, 14-, 16-, and 18-gauge wire are the most common, with 16 being a good middle ground on the AWG scale. You&#8217;ll typically use one of these gauges in the majority of connections for music systems, home theaters, and other consumer applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Considerations for Finding the Right Speaker Wire Gauge for Your Studio<\/h2>\n<p>Now we&#8217;ll take a look at some practical solutions to speaker wire based on a few considerations.<\/p>\n<h3>How far do you need to run the cables?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53387\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53387\" style=\"width: 434px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53387 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart.jpg\" alt=\"Does Speaker Wire Gauge for Your Monitors Really Matter?_2\" width=\"434\" height=\"800\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart.jpg 434w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-81x150.jpg 81w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-41x75.jpg 41w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-146x270.jpg 146w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-122x225.jpg 122w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-92x170.jpg 92w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-228x420.jpg 228w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-190x350.jpg 190w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-40x74.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-10x18.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-160x295.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-293x540.jpg 293w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-9x16.jpg 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-329x606.jpg 329w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-8x14.jpg 8w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-184x340.jpg 184w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-5x9.jpg 5w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-14x26.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-163x300.jpg 163w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-380x700.jpg 380w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-11x21.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-385x710.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/speaker-wire-gauge-chart-20x37.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Speaker wire gauge chart.

In most home stereo systems, you&#8217;ll likely going to be using 18- or 16-gauge wire, with thicker gauges reserved for longer runs.<\/p>\n<p>One general rule is to go up 2 gauges from whatever size you use for shorter runs if you&#8217;re doing a longer run. So if you normally use 18-gauge wire, use 14 for a longer distance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>18 AWG: up to 25 feet for most average-power (50W RMS) home and car speakers<\/li>\n<li>16 AWG: 25-50 foot runs for average-power home and car speakers; sub-20 foot runs for higher power speakers<\/li>\n<li>14 AWG: 100+ foot runs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Choosing Wire Materials<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll come across three main wire materials on your hunt for speaker wire.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Copper: the most common material you&#8217;ll find. It&#8217;s been the standard for ages. Usually it will be a stranded copper wire, meaning it isn&#8217;t one solid piece; instead, it&#8217;s a bunch of tightly packed thin copper strands.<\/li>\n<li>Silver: audiophile speakers will sometimes make use of silver wire. It conducts electricity better than copper, but it&#8217;s more expensive. Typically a silver speaker wire will be silver-plated copper and not solid silver.<\/li>\n<li>Copper-Clad Aluminum: it&#8217;s cheaper than copper and one of the more popular styles of wire. Try to stick with plain old copper if you can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Using Braided Wire<\/h3>\n<p>Braided is just another term for &#8220;stranded.&#8221; All speaker wire sold is stranded. It&#8217;s more flexible than solid, so it&#8217;s ideal for home stereos where you&#8217;ll have limited space and need to twist and manipulate the wire.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-portable-pa-system-for-live-music\/\">The Best Portable PA System for Live Music [2022 Guide]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to Decide on a Speaker Wire Gauges<\/h3>\n<p>For the vast majority of &#8220;everyday&#8221; usage, you&#8217;re probably going to go with 18- or 16-gauge speaker wire. If you&#8217;re doing an unusually long run, you can get away with 14-gauge wire.<\/p>\n<p>18-gauge is great because it&#8217;s a good balance between affordability and the power it&#8217;s able to handle, and it&#8217;s very common.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/barefoot-monitors\/\">Barefoot Monitors: Footprint 01 vs Footprint 02<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts love a good debate over speaker wire gauge.
