Length of audio cables effects audio quality

Everyone loves a surround sound system that sound crystal clear. But there are a lot of factors that go into achieving the most out of your surround system. You need to take into account the length of your speaker wire and the type of cables you are using. The length of the speaker wire can directly affect the amount and quality of audio you will be able to produce through your surround sound system. Besides the length of your speaker wire you need to consider the level of speakers you are using, the receiver (output module), and the type of cable you will be using. All of these will have a direct affect on the audio stream you are able to produce.

You want to be sure you are using the best quality receiver that you are able to afford. The receiver limits the wattage and can help produce a clean audio stream. A cheap receiver may be fine and get the job done but it won't always give you the cleanest audio. You will also want to be sure you are using the correct cable. An optical audio cable will give you some of the best audio you can ask for, but you need to research what type is best for you. You also need to take into account how long the cable needs to be because the length of a cable will affect your sound quality.

The longer your cable the more likely you will lose some level of quality in your sound. The longer your cable the longer the distance your sound needs to travel to get to your speakers. It may not be noticeable in short distances, but, if you notice that your rear speakers are not producing as much as your front your may need to make some adjustments. You can either buy a higher quality cable that can carry and hold sound levels over longer distances, shorter your current speaker wire, buy higher quality speaker wire, or make sure you wires are not tangled. A cable that goes in a straight line will produce a higher quality audio than one that is wrapped up and tangle. If you sound stream has to go through turns it will eventually begin to lose some audio and create a rough sounding system.

To get the best sound you possibly can you should buy the best cables, receiver and speakers you can afford. Be sure your cables and speaker wise is as short as it can be without any twist and turns. As long as you take pride in your system you should be able to build a system that you will be in love with.
