Subwoofer cables are just another analogue interconnect cable, aren’t they? Well, kind of. But they have a least one element of design that separates them from most analogue interconnects: they are long. Generally we try to use short interconnects between our components to minimise the chance of electrical interference, and to reduce any effect of the conductors in the cables themselves on the signal. But subwoofers are usually placed quite a distance from the rest of the equipment, so minimising cable length simply isn’t an option. Furthermore, since the subwoofer that the cable is feeding is handling bass, it is more susceptible than most to faithfully deliver any 50 hertz bass hum that it picks up from mains interference. So don’t skimp on the subwoofer cable. It should be of at least the same quality as the rest of your analogue interconnect cables.
At Addicted To Audio we carry subwoofer cables from some of the finest specialist brands in the world, such as Tchernov Cable, QED and REL Acoustics. You may not be familiar with some of those brands, but they’ve got a quality experience in store for your ears.
There are two great ways to buy subwoofer cables. The best way for most people is at a quality retail outlet in your city. That way you can have a listen, try some out, see whether they feel like a good “fit” for you. And, of course, receive expert advice. But if you’re confident that you already know what you want, consider purchasing your cables direct from us at Addicted To Audio. We are an authorised Australian reseller for all our products. We provide full service and after sales support. And we ship fast.
