The QED Classic 42 Strand is a straightforward, reliable speaker cable designed for general hi-fi and home cinema use. Supplied unterminated, it allows installers and users to cut to length and terminate as required, making it suitable for both permanent installations and everyday systems.
The cable uses oxygen-free copper conductors arranged in a 42-strand configuration, balancing electrical performance with flexibility and ease of handling. Its modest conductor size makes it well suited to shorter cable runs and compact systems where low resistance and consistent performance are required.
As part of QED’s long-running Classic range, the 42 Strand focuses on dependable construction and predictable electrical characteristics rather than unnecessary complexity, making it a popular choice for entry-level and budget-conscious installations.
