Speaker leads should be chosen with care, especially with a
high powered amplifier. Current carrying capacity is not usually a
problem, but the use of too thin a cable can lead to loss of output.
The table below shows the maximum cable lengths for a 10% loss
in amplifier output. It is best to use a cable that is as short and as
thick as possible. At the lead lengths shown below, 20W of the
amplifier power is being lost, only 100W will reach the
loudspeakers.
NEVER use screened lead to connect speakers to an amplifier,
and never connect the output of the amplifier to a light controller
with screened lead: use thin speaker cable.
