Recommendations for speakers cable cover.


I would like to place my existing speaker cables in a RF, shielding speaker cable cover. Kinda like a snake’s abandoned skin. I have never purchased something like this, but want to try since my cables intertwine with audio cables and power cables. Any tips or recommendations on this? Anyone out there buy a brand or material that worked well?

There are some carbon fiber sleeves that work reasonably well for your speaker cables.  The carbon really eats up that rf energy.  Do a search for them online, several places have them for sale in various sizes.

At one time I found some 16awg coax for sale and I used that, tying the shield to the amp chassis and using two coax's for the speaker.  That did kill a noisy CB radio from a nearby neighbor, too.  Unfortunately, my daughter snagged them for her stereo (fortunately for her!)

The best thing for speaker cables vs. power cables is distance.  Keep them at least a foot or more away and you won't have any interaction.  The line level audio cables are, or should be, shielded, so they are less of a problem.  Still, I wouldn't route them too close to power cables.  You can slide the coax line level cables inside them, too, which will help if you have rf problems.
