About The WireWorld Helicon 16x OFC Speaker Cable
Enjoy the performance advantages of a DNA HELIX design in the amazingly flexible and open Helicon 16x cable. Originally designed for internal speaker wiring and DIY applications, this cable sounded so great that it provides unbeatable value as an external speaker wire as well. With twice as many OFC strand groups as the original Helicon 16, this cable sounds clearer and more dynamic. The 16 gauge conductors are also easy to strip and terminate with WireWorld banana plugs or spade lugs. Please Note: Not for in-wall use.
COMPOSILEX Insulation: Many understand that insulation materials influence the performance of a cable. WireWorld created unique polymer composites designed specifically to optimise fidelity. Breakthrough COMPOSILEX® 5 insulation technology makes improvements in sound quality by virtually eliminating the noise modulation effects caused by conventional insulation materials. COMPOSILEX® 5 provides quieter backgrounds, tighter image focus and wider dynamics than the insulation materials used in other cables.
COMPOSILEX® 5 is only part of the innovative DNA HELIX® cable designs, which use layered flat conductors to channel electromagnetic signal energy more efficiently than other designs. The combination of these two advanced technologies produce cables that sound distinctly cleaner than others. They also allow quieter details to be heard, while preserving a greater range of dynamic contrasts and musical expression than other cables.
Amazingly, they even reduce listening fatigue while improving definition and image focus. In addition to the advantages of COMPOSILEX® 5 and DNA HELIX® technologies, WireWorld speaker cables also feature superior patented connectors and utilize conductor materials of the highest purity available. These qualities are essential in producing the highest fidelity speaker cables available.
Our Take
The WireWorld Helicon 16x OFC Speaker Cable combines advanced technologies to deliver outstanding sound quality and performance. Featuring the innovative DNA HELIX® design, the Helicon 16x offers a clearer, more dynamic sound compared to its predecessor, with twice as many OFC strand groups for superior clarity. Its 16 gauge conductors are easy to strip and terminate, making it a convenient choice for DIY applications and high-performance audio setups. The cable also incorporates WireWorld's proprietary COMPOSILEX® 5 insulation, which minimises noise modulation effects and enhances sound quality, offering quieter backgrounds, tighter image focus, and wider dynamics. These technologies work together to produce a cleaner, more detailed sound, reducing listening fatigue while preserving greater dynamic contrasts and musical expression. Ideal for those seeking an affordable yet high-quality external speaker wire, the Helicon 16x stands out with its combination of premium materials and engineering. Please note that it is not suitable for in-wall use.
