APAR Tarang Shakti Speaker Cable
Description
OverviewTarang Shakti speaker cable is a two core flexible audio cable with bright annealed electrolytic copper conductors, from 0.5 to 2.5 sq mm on 90 m coils. Fine stranding is what lets it be dressed behind skirting and into a terminal block without the ends splaying.
Amplifier to speaker runs are low voltage and low current, so what actually matters is conductor resistance over the length of the run and a clean, tight termination at both ends. Go up a size for a long run to a ceiling speaker or the far corner of a hall. Rated 300/300 V and tested at 2000 V, for -5°C to +70°C in flexing use, with a minimum bend radius of six times the overall diameter.

Standards & approvals
ComplianceA 2-core flexible copper audio cable rated 300/300 V, with a 2000 V test voltage. There is no ISI/BIS product standard for loudspeaker cable, so this cable is manufactured to APAR's internal specification and tested for conductor resistance and insulation quality under the same in-house regime as our wiring cables.
Conductors are multi-wire bright annealed bare electrolytic-grade copper for low resistance over long runs, rated −5°C to +70°C with a minimum bend radius of 6 × the overall diameter.
IS 694:2010 and the ISI mark do not apply to speaker cable.

Good to knowHigh-purity, flexible copper with adequate cross-section keeps resistance low, so more of the amplifier's signal reaches the speakers with minimal loss and distortion.
Thicker cable (higher sq mm) is better for long runs and higher power; 0.5–1.5 sq mm suits most home setups, with 2.0–2.5 sq mm for long or high-power runs.
