Mediabridge ULTRA Series Subwoofer Cable (15 Feet) - Dual Shielded with Gold Plated RCA to RCA Connectors - Black

I have 4 Definitive BP7002, 2 for my mains and 2 for my rears, with each containing built-in 300 Watt powered subwoofers. I already had my main speakers' LFE inputs connected to my subwoofer output (using a splitter) on my preamp using Monster M1000 cables. These cables cost me around $150/each for around 10 feet of cable but they have delivered excellent bass performance! I recently purchased a new preamp that contains 2 subwoofer outputs so I decided to buy another splitter in order to connect all four subwoofers. But I didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars for Monster subwoofer cable. Additionally, my rear speakers would require approximately 50 feet of cable. At first I was skeptical of the Mediabridge Ultra Series Dual Shielded Subwoofer Cables. They seemed too good to be true. After reading several reviews on the internet I decided to order 2 of the 50' Ultra Series Dual Shielded Subwoofer Cables for my home theater. I did have a problem with the shipment since one of the cables was the wrong cable. The label on the outside was correct but the actual cable was wrong. Not sure if this was Amazon's or Mediabridge's fault. Regardless, the correct cable was eventually delivered and I was able to connect them to my home theater. The cable quality is excellent! The connectors are well made and the cable is heavy duty. So far the sound is amazing! I honestly can't tell a difference between the bass response in my rear subwoofers versus my main subwoofers. Again, the only difference between my mains and rears is the subwoofer cable. NOTE, I think that "Shawn's" review is for Mediabridge's RG6 Series cable and not the Ultra Series Dual Shielded cable that I purchased. The Ultra Series cables have a purple stripe on the connector head and the RG6 Series cables have a green stripe around the connector head. I'm sure the RG6 cable is excellent as well but I prefer the more flexible Ultra Series cable. To see images of both cables, go to the main image on Amazon and click on the small photo underneath on the far right. This image will open and you can click on 2 more images to see the differences. The example shows only a 25' Ultra Series cable but I bought the 50' version. The problem is Amazon is selling both of these cables (RG6 and Ultra) and have the exact same header describing each cable. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME CABLE!!! Buy the cable with the purple stripe on the connector head. Overall, these cables are amazing regardless of cost! But the fact that they have a list price of $30 is incredible! And then Amazon is selling them for cheaper than that....WHAT?!?!?!?! Definitely buy these cables! **** UPDATE **** December 2012 It has now been 1.5 years since my initial review and I just wanted to provide an update. I still love my Ultra Series Dual Shielded subwoofer cables! The low frequency response is as good as my much more expensive Monster subwoofer cables that I have for my front subwoofers.

I like Mediabridge products. Quality feel and function, no cheap feel, nice ends, yet doesn't break the bank. Their banana plug ends are sweet!!! Cables fully functional and I have no complaints, in this price range, or the sonic capacity of their hooks in this price range. Yes, to a point of diminishing return, better cables/hooks can allow the transfer of better signals but you spend mightily for that small incremental increase in realized, audible audio improvement. I have some of those hooks and they sound good. But they cannot make the sound BETTER than the source. Mine are hooked to $10,000 McIntosh components, and no the Mediabridge cannot compare. But you can afford the Mediabridge and still have quality likely higher than the big box stores sell that claim to be Best. Best I can tell they use all copper wire. This is good cause some don't, including some speaker wire so beware. You don't want that stuff. Higher impedance and greater signal loss. No thanks. Real copper and OFC is the only way to go. (Unless you can afford silver wire.) You think you can hear a BIG difference between $300 hooks compared to these, and have the disposable cash, then buy those. Be happy. Sleep good. Some CAN hear the difference, me one of them. A lot depends on your speakers there, too. :) Want to transfer a quality signal on a budget, try Mediabridge products. This is their niche. I like em and my main system is McIntosh. I use different cables for that, but the cost is waaaaaaay different.

I give it 5 stars because it does work great and the ends feel and appear high quality. Pros: -RG6 is well shielded for this application. -Ends are snugg so they will not fall off or easily pull off, but they are also not tight where it takes a lot of effort either. -Price is good for 50ft but that is because you are getting RG6 coax with ends installed Cons: -RG6 because Coax is not very flexible so bending radius is large. -Because of large bending radius, you may need a 90 degree adapter for the ends to your sub and amp. -Has ends that are not molded to the cable. Which is fine if they do not get a lot of movement or stress. Which is the case for Subs and Amps. -Price, I mention this in the Cons section as well because RG6 can be very cheap, so I wonder if I should have just bought ends and the tool and made my own custom length cable since I have high quality RG6 cable spools at home. I still stand by the 5 stars though because the ends are high quality, packaged cleanly, good Amazon pics and description, and fast shipping via Prime which I needed. I have included pics to compare the 25ft cable Mediabridge sells here and the 50ft cable of this review. Notice the much tighter radius you can get with non-Coax of the 25ft. Though I wonder if this TSC-T10 RG6 is really shielded with copper like they show in the photo. All RG6 I have even seen is shielded with Aluminum and the copper core is often steel with a copper coating. And all descriptions of TSC-T10 RG6 also said Aluminum shielding. Though it is double shielded and the quality is plenty for low level voltage and audio frequencies. So it's not a big deal. But I think some people would want to know these details before purchasing. I am using this cable to add a 2nd Sub, so I am using a Y adapter (Also by Mediabridge, very nice as well) which is flexible enough to not need a 90 degree adapter behind my receiver. I am using a 90 degree adapter behind both subs regardless of space for a clean install.

Very good product at a good price

Llegando a casa lo conecté al subwoofer de mi teatro en casa. El material se ve y se siente de calidad. Tiene una conexión perfecta y segura, a diferencia del cable "original" del equipo. Es cuestión de probar el equipo por un periodo más largo de tiempo, pero con la prueba inicial mostró buen desempeño el producto. SI LO RECOMIENDO...

Nice build quality. Sounds very good.

Built like a tank. Fits securely. Not a subscriber about sound difference from speaker cables but they do the job well and priced well. Highly recommended!

I haven't used other SW cables; this is my first one so i'd not compare this with others. Got this brand new cable in a good packing. The build quality is good. It works as expected without any flaws.
