GLS Audio Speaker Cable - 12 Gauge Speaker Wire, 4 Conductor, Black, 500 Ft

I was skeptical about the quality of this cable when I was looking to buy it. however as I have now made a bunch of cables with it, I'm really happy. The conductors are sturdy, I really like that it has 5 strength members inside the sheath, plus the fabric wrap and then the outer sheath. Really well-built cable, I expect it will stand up to some good use. The only complaint I have is that at one point, while I was terminating an end, I did notice one small spot where the red conductor was exposed inside. It appears to be possibly a thin spot in the sheath, perhaps where the conductors rubbed together and wore thru it, I'm not exactly sure. After finding this I did look for it in other places but could not find any other such problem. So, I will keep an eye on performance and see how it goes. The rest of the cable seems to be nicely designed, so hopefully that was just a one-time flaw. If this was an electrical extension cord I would rate it a 100% total failure for risk and return it, however as speaker cable, the laws are different and I'm not as concerned about it.

This is the same cable you’ll find LiveWire or EWI using to construct their cables. It’s not proper SJOOW jacketing like national tour companies require, but for small and mid level venues, it works perfectly. The wire is actually 12 AWG, and the copper itself is good quality. Easy to wrap, fairly resistant to the hazards of stage (oils, heat, water, beer, etc). There was more or less exactly 500’, give or take an inch or two, but I was able to make 4 25’ (ish) cables and 8 50’ (ish) cables. Paired with GLS’s copy of NL4 connectors, it works well.

These fit perfectly witH Neutrik NL4FX and NL4MP-ST connectors. Also fit perfectly with the Phoenix connectors on the back of my QSC AD-S8T speakers. Made a 60’ run from my Crown CDi amp to speakers. Ended up with clear crisp audio.

The wire is reasonably flexible and the jacket is flat black and pliable (rubber-like). The four conductors are wrapped in a white inner jacket (material is similar to paper + cord) with six braided strings intertwined. The conductors are color coded: black, white, red, and blue. Each 12AWG equivalent conductor is made up from smaller gauge copper strands (approx. 18 count). I assembled Neutric NL4 speakon cables with this wire and had to reduce the diameter of each conductor by cutting some of the stranding using a 16 AWG stripper so that I could fit the wire into the connector. Overall, satisfied with quality, need time in the field to give it 5 stars.

I have been installing sound systems for 30+ years and this is some of the best wire I have ever used. The outer jacket provides the best insulation of any speaker wire not only from weather but from kinks and chaffing that occur during installation.I am confident when using this wire that the best possible installation has been done and can be appreciated for years ! Worth every penny !

Product showed up as planned. Bought a cable caddy as well and sure glad I did. Roll is a bit awkward to use without the caddy; however, the cable works perfectly! A 200 foot run to a speaker and sound is great with no issues in performance.

Product is good of quality and Flexible. It was easy to make up the bi amp speaker wires I needed. I recommend this wire.

I used this for long speaker runs at a fesrival and it worked perfectly..for the price of 4 conductor 12 gauge wire cost over a dollar a foot..I saved a ton of money....
