{"product_id":"vincent-high-end-lautsprecherkabel-bi-wire","title":"Vincent Speaker Cable Bi-Wire, OFC Copper","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vincent Speaker Cable Bi-Wire is a pre-terminated speaker cable made of OFC copper that feeds your speaker's tweeter and woofer sections via separate conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBi-wiring is one of those topics that reliably sets HiFi forums ablaze. We keep it pragmatic: if your speaker has two connection pairs and you want to use them anyway, a cleanly made bi-wire cable is the more elegant solution than two bundled cables plus jumper plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Vincent Bi-Wire?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe construction is unspectacular in the best sense: OFC copper, a decent cross-section, cleanly terminated. Each speaker is connected via two separate conductor pairs, with the tweeter and woofer sections getting their own path from the amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with the single-wire, the connectors here are also interchangeable – spade or banana plug, whatever the terminal calls for. Handy, since bi-wire terminals often mix the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ready-made pair in four lengths from 2× 1.5 m to 2× 5 m, terminated and ready to connect. No fiddling, no stripping, no loose strands oxidising in the terminal after two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yes: the jumpers between the terminals need to come out. Anyone who leaves them in has bought a bi-wire cable and connected it as single-wire – it happens more often than you'd think.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Bi-Wire suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor speakers with two connection pairs, i.e. a bi-wiring-capable terminal. Many floorstanding and higher-end bookshelf speakers offer this. If you have that option and want to make the most of it, this is the clean way to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo be blunt: if your speaker has only one connection pair, bi-wire won't do anything for you – get the single-wire. And honestly, the difference between a good single-wire and a good bi-wire is rarely the big leap some people promise. Anyone with both terminals can make use of it. Anyone without isn't missing anything dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cleanly made cable for anyone who genuinely wants to use their bi-wire terminals – without the wiring suddenly costing more than the speaker. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we first work out together whether bi-wiring even makes sense in your case. Sometimes the honest answer is: no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: pre-terminated speaker cable, bi-wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConductor: OFC copper (oxygen-free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: interchangeable spade or banana plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: pair (2 cables, for both speakers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequirement: speakers with two connection pairs (bi-wire terminal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable lengths: 2× 1.5 m, 2× 2 m, 2× 3 m, 2× 5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: two pre-terminated cables including interchangeable connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does bi-wiring actually achieve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter and woofer sections are fed from the amplifier via separate conductors instead of sharing one path. In practice, many report a bit more calmness and control in the bass. It's not a quantum leap – anyone promising you that is exaggerating. Speakers with two connection pairs are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I absolutely need bi-wire if my speaker supports it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. A speaker with a bi-wire terminal works perfectly fine on a single-wire cable with the jumpers left in place. Bi-wiring is an option, not an obligation. If you want to use it, do it properly – a half-hearted setup achieves nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to remove the jumpers on the speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, absolutely. If the jumpers or plates between the terminals stay in place, the two sections are reconnected and the bi-wire setup is rendered ineffective. This is the most common mistake when connecting – check quickly before you wonder why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpade or banana?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are included and interchangeable. Banana plugs are more practical day to day, spades offer more contact area. With bi-wire terminals you can also mix the two if space gets tight. You don't have to commit at purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Vincent Bi-Wire cable from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you honestly beforehand whether bi-wiring pays off with your speakers – and when you're better off investing your money elsewhere.
