{"product_id":"vincent-high-end-lautsprecherkabel-single-wire","title":"Vincent Speaker Cable Single-Wire, OFC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vincent Speaker Cable Single-Wire is a pre-terminated speaker cable made of OFC copper, with connectors that can be swapped between spade and banana plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween amplifier and speaker lies the final stretch of the signal chain – and, of all places, that's where an astonishing number of systems still have the bundled cable from the hardware store. Let's be honest: that's worth changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Vincent Single-Wire?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind it is down-to-earth. A decent conductor cross-section of oxygen-free OFC copper, cleanly terminated, ready to connect. No stripping, no twisting, no strands loosening in the terminal over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe real highlight is the interchangeable connectors: spade or banana, depending on what your amplifier and speakers offer. You decide at the device, not at purchase – and if your next speakers have different terminals, the cable is still in the race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pre-terminated pair in four lengths, from 2× 1.5 m for close placement up to 2× 5 m, when the speakers stand far apart or the amplifier sits off to the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant: use the same length for both sides, even if one speaker is closer. The extra metre can happily coil up behind the sideboard – what matters is that both channels see the same distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Single-Wire suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone with standard speaker terminals, i.e. one connection pair per speaker – which is the large majority. Anyone building a solid system – say, a Vincent SV-237 MK II with a pair of floorstanding speakers – gets a clean connection here without excess price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo be blunt: if your speaker has two connection pairs and you actually want to run bi-wiring, you need the bi-wire version. And anyone wanting to spend more on the cable than on the amplifier is definitely in the wrong place here – there are other addresses for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable you recommend without much deliberation. It noticeably lifts the connection above hardware-store level, is decently made, and doesn't cost the earth. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, it's one of the cables we install most often ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: pre-terminated speaker cable, single-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\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's the difference between single-wire and bi-wire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle-wire runs one cable pair per speaker and connects to one pair of terminals. Bi-wire splits the tweeter and woofer sections onto two separate conductor pairs and requires speakers with two connection pairs. If your speaker has only one terminal, single-wire is the correct and only choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich length do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the longer of the two runs and use that length for both sides. Cables of different lengths on the left and right make barely any audible difference, but they're unnecessary. A bit of slack never hurts – a cable under tension pulls on the terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpade or banana plug – which should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat depends on your devices. Bananas plug in faster and are more practical day to day. Spades offer more contact area and sit rock solid. With the Vincent, both are included and interchangeable, so you don't need to commit at purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the cable fit any amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, as long as the amplifier has standard screw terminals or banana sockets – so practically always. Brand doesn't matter. Only with devices that have unusual terminals is a quick check worthwhile beforehand, and we're happy to sort that out together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Vincent speaker cable from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you which length and which connector suit your room and your devices – and where extra budget achieves more than spending it on the cable.
