Though, if user, for different reasons, wants to change sound settings, a certain amount of information may be necessary.

Types

• There are three main PC stereo cables. Standard is RCA stereo cable plug. These well-liked, color-coded cables are linked with stereo audio for a left and right channel. The male end connector is just pushed into sound card's RCA female jacks. Other type of cable is a 1/8-inch, or 3.5mm, mini stereo plug. This connects to PCs headphone or auxiliary audio input port. Lastly speaker makers are using single plug-and-play USB cables. By using USB cables, users remove the need for AC adapters. USB cables also can be removed without shutting down and rebooting PC an aspect called "hot swapping."

Features

• There are some main aspects that change the quality of PC speaker cables. Two such aspects are called shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP). A shielded twisted pair cable is utilized for PC speakers to decrease electrical interference, particularly from monitor. An unprotected cable is frequently utilized to attach devices in a local area network. Other main aspects are balanced and unbalanced cables. Balanced cables are intended to block induced noise, which happen in line. Though balanced cables are costly than unbalanced, sound quality is sharper, particularly with longer cables.

Considerations

Significance

• the length of PC speaker cable decides wire gauge (AWG) or breadth. As lesser amount wire is thicker.

* Less than 30 feet: 16 gauge
* 30-50 feet: 14 gauge
* 50-100 feet: 12 gauge
* 100+ feet: 10 gauge (14/4 cable, which works out to 11 gauge)
* Audioholic: 10-12 gauge, regardless of distance.
