A digital coaxial cable carries digital audio signals between compatible hi-fi components using an electrical connection.
An XLR cable is commonly used in hi-fi and professional audio equipment to carry balanced analogue audio signals between components.
A TOSLINK cable uses pulses of light to transmit digital audio signals between compatible hi-fi, television and home cinema equipment.
RCA cables are analogue audio cables commonly used to connect hi-fi components such as amplifiers, CD players, DACs and turntables.
Choosing the right loudspeaker cable involves considering cable thickness, length, conductor material and the requirements of your amplifier and speakers.
