Covering/Protecting Speaker Cables

Posted by: J.N. on 07 June 2015

Some of you will know my set-up. I have reduced the cost of my forthcoming SL speaker cables (considerably!) by deciding to run to the l/h speaker cable across an open room-dividing arch.

So; how to cover and protect it?

A visit to my local Screwfix outlet revealed that they stock this:-

The perfect length for my requirements and only £15.

The Screwfix guys told me that they have all tried it on their high-end sound-systems and can hear no deleterious effect.

Now I just need the stuff to go in it.

To prevent the SL speaker cable sticking to the plastic conduit cover over time, I'd wrap the cable in a thin piece of paper before laying it into the conduit. That will allow you to pull it if it needs any small adjustments - and provides a layer of extra linear insulation.
