unitiqute - cables

Posted by: vtpcnk on 05 January 2018

hey all, what is the recommended length of speaker cable for unitiqute?

and other than naca5, any other recommendations?

also if i am not mistaken, in the uk atleast the unitiqute (as with others in the uniti series) ships with a special power cable. any idea if this is available in the usa?

appreciate the clarification.

I think you will find the recommendation on the minimum length of NAC-A5 is 3.5 metres, both should be the same length anyway and don't coil excess cable, but rather zigzag it and fix it with ties in its bundled zigzag shape.

The Unitiqute didn't ship with a special mains lead. The Powerline Lite came out with UnitiCore and then Atom etc. In any case it's not available for the US because it's a UK specific power plug.

Do a Google image search for 'NACA5 zigzag' and you'll see some.

good lord, it is like braiding hair! somebody with dreadlocks told me it cost her $100 to get hers done. i think i need to reach out to that stylist!

jokes apart, can it be zigzagged one on top of another so that it is in single file? or it has to be spread out?

i can already hear my wife snickering!!!

Basically it's just not coiled, so the electromagnetic field from each loop is cancelled out by the next one going the other way. So you don't need to be too particular how you zigzag it.
