Hybrid 2-core parallel cable with different wire diameters
【Audio-Technica AT-RS160|PC-TripleC+OFC Hybrid 2-Core Speaker Cable】
AT-RS160 is Audio-Technica’s 2-conductor parallel-type speaker cable that combines PC-TripleC and OFC.
It’s an easy choice for people who want to “refine the definition of the sound a bit more” or “produce a natural thickness in the mid-bass and more extended highs,” such as when upgrading speakers, adding an amplifier, or setting up a DSP system.
A cable is a part that’s hard to notice visually, but it’s quite important for car audio.
Even if you use better speakers and an amplifier, if the portion that carries the signal is weak, you may not be able to fully take advantage of the sound’s information content and its initial attack. The AT-RS160 aims for a well-balanced sound with powerful mid-bass and midrange, as well as treble that’s easier to bring out the subtle expressions of each sound. It’s also a cable that’s easy to match with front-speaker upgrades and multi-connection systems.
Especially in systems where the number of wiring runs increases—such as a front 2-WAY + rear setup, or a 3-WAY configuration—the way the cable is routed, its length, and how it’s pulled through all affect both the sound and overall serviceability.
It’s not simply “use a good cable and you’re done.” Where you route it, what length you use, and how you consider the relationship with existing wiring and the amplifier placement will change how reassuring the finished setup feels.
At LOGON, we propose wiring plans that won’t overreach, taking into account the vehicle model and system configuration, the installation positions of your amplifier and DSP, and even your planned future expansions.
Whether you choose to “install only what your current system needs” or “pull cable in advance with future step-ups in mind” will affect your choice—so it’s better to consider that together to avoid regrets.
For those who want to build sound properly, speaker cables may seem inconspicuous, but they’re a part that makes a difference.
If you want to bring out the performance of your speakers and amplifier as directly as possible, there’s value in incorporating the AT-RS160 while looking at the overall balance of the entire system.
