## Description

GLS Audio speaker cables are manufactured with the highest grade materials in the industry. The copper wire is rated in AWG spec which stands for "American Wire Gauge". The AWG rating was developed by the USA as a result of some wire manufacturers stating their wire was a certain spec when it really wasn't. You'll notice most imported wire and cable manufacturers will rate their wire in "G" or Gauge (not AWG). The "G" rating can be used for any wire size. For example: A 12G rated cable may only be equivalent to a 18AWG cable (or worse). There are no regulations or specifications on "G" rated cables. How can you determine if a "G" rated cable is the same spec as an AWG cable? Unfortunately, you can't unless you test the power loss per foot. Sometimes the weight may be an indicator. For example: GLS Audio 50ft 12AWG cables weigh about 4lbs whereas most of our competitors weigh about 2.5lbs. This may be a result of the copper wire gauge not being true AWG.

Review: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, EXCELLENT WIRE FOR MAKING SOUND CONNECTIONS - I buy the things I review, I never trade my reviews for free stuff like many on desertcart. I needed to make some balanced TRS patch cords for my recording studio and bought a roll of this wire. The outer jacket is very flexible, the shield is a "serve" type which means it's wrapped around the inner conductors just like Mogami does it on a lot of their cable that costs three times the price. A serve shield is functionally equal to a braided shield, maybe a tad less durable although I have many cables that are over 20 years old made with the serve type shield and they're working great. Serve shield is easier to work with than braided shield so I'm not afraid of it. The only time serve shield is not good is when people treat their cables poorly and bend them into hard u-turns or extreme angles, this can cause the shield to separate under the jacket and weaken the protection to induced noise. I treat my cables well, like expensive tools and have never had a problem with this type of cable construction. In my lab I tested the wire for capacitance and impedance and found both to be very low, this means you could make cables for passive instruments without your tone sucking. For interconnecting studio processors it's an excellent cable. I'm using GLS TRS plugs on the ends, these plugs are easy to solder, I prefer them to the Switchcraft 297 type TRS plugs, easier to solder and one-third the price. I worked for a US wire manufacturer for five years and got to see a lot of the inside of the wire business, so much of it is smoke and mirrors. It really comes down to how good the wire sounds in the application, for professional sound and recording this wire works great and the price is very reasonable. Super fast desertcart Prime delivery made it even sweeter. I like that the wire is untinned copper, this makes it more flexible and resistant to breakage than plated steel plated copper. This cable takes solder well and is easy to work with. The inner construction is on par with any professional cable, it looks and feels like a good Mogami clone. Highly recommended. Good music to all!
Review: GREAT MIC CABLE, GREAT PRICE - I'm an audio engineer and usually make my own cables for stage and/or installation jobs. So, I am picky. At first I was leary of getting mic cable at such a good price. I normally use Canare Star Quad, but I had to find mic cable fast for a small installation job at a church. I had volunteer help, but didn't have enough Canare on-hand, so I overnighted the GLS mic cable. When I opened the box, the heavy duty cardboard reels were well packaged. I immediately got my pocket knife out and peeled back the rubber jacket to reveal a copper shield, several strands of string and a white and a red plastic-coated stranded copper wires. Let me expound on the cable's elements: RUBBER JACKET - for sound installation, this works fine. I don't know how it would hold up over time for use in live sound. It does peel very easily once you cut it, and that's a plus. I was able to install connectors quickly. COPPER SHIELD - this is not braided copper. At first I thought that could be a detriment, but again, it works well for installed sound. I had to pull 4, 150' lengths for choir mics and all mics are working fine with no RF problems. STRING - this appears to be cotton string used in manufacture and it cuts easily and doesn't fray. RED & WHITE CONDUCTORS - These surprised me. They appear to have a rigid plastic feel, but the outer plastic cuts away easily leaving the durable strands of copper. Also when soldering, the plastic doesn't melt or draw-up. All of the copper heats evenly and distributes the solder very well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality - great bargain
*by D***R on June 27, 2024*

We bought this bulk cable to set up a church AV system that needed XLR cables for audio as well as the DMX light controller. So buying the bulk cable allowed us to customize the length of every cable as well as complete the project in a reasonable budget. The cable is really good quality. No issues with sound or being able to solder it. All connections are solid. The wires are really good quality and easily tinned. The cotton core also helps keep the cable flexible and yet strong . Highly recommend this. We picked up the roll for $50 bucks. Hope it's still on sale when you need it.
