JBL Project Everest DD65000 Product Commentaries And User Manual

Contents

27Speaker wire and interconnecting cables are an importantcomponent in any audio system. With a system like ProjectEverest, they assume an increased level of importance.Project Everest loudspeakers are internally wired using high-quality oxygen-free copper wiring. The same care that wasgiven to the selection of the loudspeakers’ internal system wiringshould be afforded to the selection and application of the wiresthat will connect the Project Everest loudspeakers to your othersystem components.Many manufacturers produce audiophile speaker wire worthconsidering for Project Everest loudspeakers. As with all electronicsand associated components, however, every manufactureroffers products of varying quality to suit a range of budgets andapplications. We advise that you use high-quality wire and toselect the highest grade of wire available from the manufacturer.Project Everest specialist dealers have the experience andknowledge to recommend suitable speaker wire to bestcomplement your particular system. We recommend using anaudiophile-quality speaker wire of not less than 16-gauge forconnections of up to 15 feet (5 meters) as a minimum requirement.For maximum signal purity, we advise that you place theamplifier(s) as close as possible to the loudspeakers, even ifthis means that a longer distance will be needed between theamplifier(s) and preamplifier.The connections between the left and right amplifiers andspeakers should be the same length. If the distance between onespeaker and its amplifier(s) is greater than the distance betweenthe other speaker and its amplifier(s), use the longer length of wirefor both connections.For bi-wire connections, the same type of wires may be used forboth low-frequency and high-frequency sections to reduce wireeffects (resistance, inductance, etc.) and to avoid intermodulationof low and high frequencies in the wires. Specialized wires forlow-frequency and high-frequency sections may yield excellentresults. Whatever wires you select, be sure that the low-frequencywires are as short as possible, and that the left and right wires foreach section are the same length.seLectingsPeaker Wire4
