Radique Audio · Bi-wire speaker cable

Bi-wiring, done properly, in one tidy braided run

A matched pair of our bi-wire speaker cables, hand-assembled in Ottawa: four colour-coded conductors per cable under a black-and-red woven sleeve that matches our red and black plugs, 5 ft or 10 ft per cable, with our own gold-plated Radique Audio banana plugs at both ends.

The short answer

Radique 16 AWG Quad bi-wire speaker cables are a matched pair of our bi-wire cable: four 16 AWG oxygen-free copper conductors per cable, colour-coded red, black, green and white, under a black-and-red braided sleeve, 5 ft or 10 ft per cable. Each cable has 2 gold-plated Radique Audio banana plugs at the amplifier end and 4 at the speaker end, so one amplifier feeds the upper and lower binding posts of each speaker on separate runs, with no jumpers.

What it is

Many good speakers have two pairs of binding posts on the back: one pair feeds the woofer section, the other the tweeter section, joined at the factory by metal jumpers or bridges. Bi-wiring removes the jumpers and runs a separate pair of conductors from the amplifier to each set of posts, so the two sections no longer share a single run of cable.

These cables are built for exactly that. At the amplifier end, each cable has two banana plugs, red and black, each one joining a pair of conductors. At the speaker end the cable splits into four conductors with four banana plugs: one red and black pair for the upper posts and one for the lower posts. One amplifier, two runs per speaker, no jumpers.

Our speaker cables

Every pair is hand-assembled in our shop, with heat-shrink at every termination and joint, colour-coordinated so polarity reads at a glance. Need a length or ends we don’t stock? The Cable Builder makes it to order.

Questions we get about this one

What is bi-wiring?

Many speakers have two pairs of binding posts, one for the woofer section and one for the tweeter section, joined at the factory by metal jumpers. Bi-wiring removes the jumpers and runs a separate pair of conductors from the amplifier to each set of posts.

How do I connect these cables?

Take the jumpers off the speaker. At the amplifier, the two banana plugs go into one channel’s red and black terminals. At the speaker, one red and black pair goes to the upper posts and the other to the lower posts, red to red and black to black.

My speakers have only one pair of binding posts. Will these work?

These are built for speakers with two pairs of posts. For a speaker with one pair, a regular pair from our Radique Audio speaker cables is the right choice.

Can I get another length?

Yes. Our Custom Speaker Cable Builder makes bi-wire pairs to order, any length, with bare wire, banana, spade, small spade or pin ends.

What warranty does it have?

A 1-year warranty, like every Radique Audio product: if it fails under normal use within the year, we replace it at no charge. See our warranty FAQ.

What does shipping cost? Is pickup possible?

Pickup in Kanata is free, by appointment. To have it shipped, add it to your cart and enter your city and postal code on the cart page: you’ll see live carrier rates before you commit. We ship across Canada and internationally. Buying it with one of our pre-owned speakers or components? Then it rides along in the same order at no extra shipping cost.

Do you ship to the United States?

Yes. On Radique Audio products we add the US import duties and fees at checkout and prepay them for you, so there’s nothing to pay at delivery.

Need a different length or ends?

Our Custom Speaker Cable Builder makes it to order: five cables, any length, any ends, with live pricing as you go.
