A vinyl LP (long-playing) record plays through a purely mechanical process that converts microscopic physical movements into sound.
Turntables use either a moving magnet (high-impedance) or moving coil (low-impedance) cartridge. The stylus traces the record’s grooves, translating the groove modulations into an electrical signal that is sent to connected audio components—typically a phono preamp, integrated amplifier, or receiver.
AMERICAN RECORDER’s high-performance turntable audio cable is engineered to faithfully and naturally transmit these extremely delicate, low-level signals.
Our turntable cables are built using a proprietary twin-lead cable design, featuring 27 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) center conductors surrounded by a 100% spiral shield. This optimized geometry and low capacitance ensure superior signal transfer with minimal noise while preventing high-frequency loss.
An 18 AWG chassis ground wire, terminated with a fork connector, is included for proper grounding. The ground wire extends 6 inches at each end, allowing for easy connection to a chassis ground screw. A durable yet supple outer PVC jacket ensures easy installation and long-term reliability.
This version is terminated with left and right Gold RCA plugs on both ends,, making it ideal for upgrading or replacing cables on vintage turntables. RCA cables are made from brass with gold plating.
CABLE LENGTHS
- 1 meter (3.3 ft)
- 1.5 meter (4.95 ft)
- 2 meter (6.6 ft)
- 3 meter (9.9 ft)
- 4 meter (13.2 ft)
FYI - Turntables use a magnetic cartridge and stylus to pick up sound from the record groove. The signal level from the magnetic cartridge is very low and must be connected to audio equipment with a "PHONO" level input. When connecting a turntable to audio equipment without a phono input, an AMERICAN RECORDER VDC-141 PHONO PREAMP can be used, allowing connection to any line level input (CD, DVD, TAPE, etc.).
