You may also need a precision screwdriver (depending on the type of connector that you have selected) to tighten the screw locking fasteners in order to secure the speaker cable. If you do not have access to either of these tools, you can use a razor blade or scissors but care must be taken to ensure that the inner strands are not cut while stripping the outer jacket. However, there are specialised tools available which can strip the outer PVC jacket from the speaker cable with ease. A traditional wire stripper can perform this task quite well. In the preparation stages, you will need to strip the wire ready to be inserted into the connector. When you do finally come to the stage of installing the banana plugs, it may save a lot of frustration by ensuring that a simple compact torch is available.
There is not a whole lot to cover in this area but there are a few suggestions that we can offer to help you complete installation of your new banana plugs with as much ease as possible.Īs most audio systems reside in an entertainment unit, s suitable light source is often scarce. If the finish appears rough instead of smooth, this is also an indication of poor workmanship. The general feel of the metal finish will also provide insight as to the quality. For example, does the screw appear to work smoothly or does it feel a little rough? If the screw mechanism does feel a little rough, this would be a sign of lower quality manufacturing standards. Other important factors to consider are the materials used for manufacturing (plastic, metal etc.) and general workmanship. The 24k gold plating will also ensure that the connection will provide longevity and will not corrode over time. Overall Finish & QualityĪll of our banana plugs are of the highest quality standard and are precision manufactured with brass (copper and zinc alloy). We recommend thorough examination by reading the product description and viewing each of our available product images to discern which option may work best for you. While most banana plugs are quite easy to use once you understand the manner in which the speaker cable should be terminated, there are certainly those that may appeal more due to ease of use.
While for most systems, using a banana plug with a rear entry point will be suitable, there are some scenarios (wall mounted speakers etc.) where a banana plug with a side entry may be preferred. Next, you will need to consider the angle in which the speaker cable will approach the speaker terminals (binding posts). All of our banana plugs are listed with measurements for the available entry points and are also provided with a number of images to assist you in making the correct decision. Out of the considerations listed above, probably one of the most important factors when selecting banana plugs will be the thickness of the Speaker Cable that you plan to use.
This will be determined by a number of factors, such as:
