Can you use RG6 for subwoofer cable?
Monoprice RG6/U cables are great for those that want good quality and don’t want to break the bank. I typically use RG6/U for subwoofer and Digital Coax connections, but these can be used anywhere you use a standard RCA type cable.
Can coaxial cable be used for subwoofer?
Subwoofer cables and other RCA audio interconnects have no defined characteristic impedance. OTOH, 75ohm coax will work. Any coax will do. It is analog regardless of the cable used.
Can RG6 be used for audio?
Basically, you can turn RG6 coax video cable into audio cables simply by screwing on AV connectors at each end. A TV tech guy I know doesn’t think it’d be audiophile grade but certainly better than standard audio cables over long distance.
What cable do I need for a subwoofer?
Regardless of what type of connection is available, be it RCA or direct wired, it is highly recommended to use shielded, heavy gauge cabling specifically designed for subwoofers. Such cables provide a cleaner, more noise-free audio signal. The image below shows two subwoofer outputs.
Is RCA the same as coaxial?
RCA stands for Radio Corporation of America, the name of the company that developed the standard, which is a paired connector that is typically used to connect audio and video equipment. On the other hand, coaxial cable is just one type of cable that has a basic structure.
Is a subwoofer cable just an RCA cable?
Subwoofer cables contain RCA connectors on both ends. Subwoofer cables produce a deep, intense sound and the quality is far superior to that of typical RCA sound. Subwoofers transmit bass in addition to regular sound signals, so that when you listen to it in your home theater, TV shows and moves can really come alive.
Is RG11 better than RG6?
RG6 has higher attenuation level; RG11 has lower attenuation level. RG6 can transmit signals in a higher frequency range than RG6. Because RG11 has lower attenuation level, it can transmit in a father distance: RG6 can transmit signal in a distance of 600m, RG11 can transmit in a distance of 1,100m.
What is RG6 coax used for?
The RG-6 is primarily used for cable and satellite signal transmission for residential or commercial installations. This coax cable is thin and easy to bend for wall or ceiling installations and remains the preferred choice to relay cable television signals.
Do you need a special cable for a subwoofer?
Subwoofers do not require any specific form of audio cabling. The specific type of cable needed to connect a subwoofer to an audio system will depend on the audio input jacks built onto the subwoofer itself.
Is RCA analog or digital?
RCA cables transmit analog, or non-digital, signals. Because of this, they cannot be plugged directly into a computer or other digital device. RCA cables connect amplifiers to all sorts of devices.
How do I convert Coax to RCA?
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable or satellite box. Open the other end of the cable by unscrewing it from the other device. Now, get the threaded RCA adapter and thread the coaxial cable plug on it. Make sure to not break or bend the wire inside the socket.
Do you need coax for a RCA subwoofer?
For one thing, it is shielded. You just need the little coax to RCA adaptor available at Radio Shack. Cool, I just wanted to make sure it was a decent thing to do, and wouldn’t make it sound worse or something like that. Coax (RG6)=composite video=digital coax (hence why it is called “coax”)
Which is better coax or Monoprice subwoofer wire?
Monoprice cables are really quite high quality. It does not matter the cost of your subs – the cables will more than suffice as will your coax…Coax is likely better shielded than some subwoofer cables — I’ve read that many recommend using coax for long runs anyway. You need a couple of these? or these?
What’s the difference between coax and RF cables?
Most high quality RCA audio interconnects are coaxial in structure anyway, so using the term coax to distinguish RF cables from audio cables is not correct. Thanks for quick reply.
