Audio Accessories

Q: Do speaker cables need to be the same length?

The length of the cable does not cause any delay in the audio, as it is all travelling at the speed of light and any difference is far, far too small for the human ear to detect.

Q: Does cable length affect sound quality?

There is a lot of discussion regarding whether cable length affects sound quality. For unshielded cables, yes, the cable length matters. Longer cable lengths have more exposure to interference, which degrades the sound quality. Apart from sound quality, having long cables running from equipment such as floor standing speakers can be a safety hazard. For this reason as well as others, it’s best to keep your cables short.

Q: How many amps can a speaker wire carry?

Most speaker cables in Australia can carry between 10 and 20 amps. Higher load cables may be used by professionals.

Audio accessories are a vital part of any sound system. Critical components such as high-quality speaker cables and noise filters as well as advanced WiFi transmitters and receivers, along with an intelligent AV power board, collectively contribute significantly to enhancing the quality of your audio experience. ArchiPro has collected the very best in home audio accessories from leading suppliers across Australia, so you can find the perfect match for your setup.

Featuring the best audio accessories in Australia

ArchiPro has worked with trusted professionals across Australia to bring you the best home audio accessories online. We stock the impedance matchers and in-wall speaker cables you need to wire up those built-in speakers you’ve been dreaming of, as well as smaller accessories such as shielded audio cables, USB charging modules and adaptors.

Types of audio accessories

Audio cables

Audio cables are small, lightweight and shielded to protect the signal from electrical interference. They are used to transmit signals from audio sources to your amplifier.

Speaker cables

Speaker cables are designed to carry the signal from the amplifier to the speaker and carry considerably more current than audio cables.

Noise filters

Noise filters remove unwanted signals that may be too high, too low or otherwise created by interference.

Impedance matchers

When it comes to professional audio, impedance matchers are necessary to ensure absolutely no echos, distortion or other degradation is caused by mismatches between audio equipment.

The advantages of high-quality audio accessories

The most obvious advantage of high-quality audio accessories is the increase in the quality of sound. There’s no point having an expensive amplifier and industrial grade subwoofers if the cables between them can’t transmit lower frequencies. Higher quality audio accessories can carry a broader spectrum of sound without losing quality.

How to choose the audio accessories that are right for you

Make sure that your cables are the right length and can carry the right amount of current, and buy only good quality cables and connectors from reputable suppliers.

If you are connecting multiple sound systems together across your house, it’s a good idea to buy a multi room audio kit as this will have everything you need in one package.

If you are a professional musician or require an exceptionally fine-tuned audio system, you’ll find plenty of experts in Australia on ArchiPro who can help find the perfect gear to match your existing setup.

Is an audio cable the same as a speaker cable?

No, audio cables and speaker cables are different and should not be used interchangeably. Audio cables are too weak to carry the current a speaker cable does, and most speaker cables don’t have enough shielding to be effective audio cables.
