The AN-BA speaker cable is a copper cable from Audio Note which unusually includes an outer screen. It has a decent cross section of conductors in a dumbbell style layout and has a well balanced sound, with a rich, colourful low end performance that is taught and controlled too. I generally find the unscreened version sounds a touch more open and airy, but with the screen connected it's a more potent powerful sound.

The cable can be wired in two ways, for use with 'unconditionally stable' amplifiers (i.e. all valve amplifiers we can think of and some solid state amplifiers) the screen can be connected, this helps to reduce noise radiated and received (this is not audible noise as such, but that does not mean that it does not have an effect on the sound). This does however make the cable quite capacitive, and this is why it could upset some solid state amplifiers as it could cause them to oscillate and cause damage to themselves and possibly the connected speaker.

If there are concerns about this capacitance then the screen can be left disconnected, in which case it will be safe with all amplifiers. Please be sure to order the right one for your needs from the termination options above, if you have any questions about its suitability with your amplifier please send us a message.

These cables are available to order in any length in 0.5m increments, so if the amount you require is not shown here please just ask.

We can sell this cable unterminated, but due to the screen it is a little more tricky to terminate than cables with a simpler construction.
