Project EVEREST DD66000

CHAPTER 5

Selecting Cable

Speaker wire and interconnecting cables are an important component in any audio system. With a system such as the Project EVEREST, they assume a new level of criticality.

The Project EVEREST loudspeakers are internally wired with proprietary high quality copper cables, specially designed for JBL. The same care that was given to the selection of internal system wiring should be afforded to the selection and application of the cables that will connect Project EVEREST loudspeakers to other system components.

It is advisable to use high quality wire and to select the highest grade wire available from the manufacturer. Many manufacturers produce audiophile cables worth considering for Project EVEREST. As with all electronics and associated comp onents, however, every manufacturer offers products of varying quality to suit a range of budgets and applications.

We recommend using an audiophile quality speaker wire of not less than 16 gauge for connections up to 5 meters (15 feet) as a minimum requirement. Project EVEREST specialist dealers have the experience and knowledge to recommend suitable speaker wire to best complement a particular system.

For maximum signal purity, it is advisable to locate the amplifier(s) as close as possible to the loudspeakers, even if this means that a longer distance will be needed between the amplifier(s) and preamplifier.

Both the left and right speaker/amplifier connections should be the same length. If the distance between one speaker and the amplifier(s) is greater than the other speaker and amplifier(s), use the longer length for both connections.

For bi-wire connections, the same type of wires may be used for both low frequency and high frequency sections to reduce wire effects (resistance, inductance, etc.) and to avoid intermodulation of low and high frequencies in the wires. Specialized wires for low frequency and high frequency sections may yield excellent results. Whatever wires are used, be sure that the low frequency wires are as short as possible and the left and right wires for each section are the same length.

To secure firm connection, we recommend Y or U type plugs.
