【audio-technica AT-RS160｜Speaker cable that’s easy to use even for multi-channel systems with 8CH or more】

audio-technica AT-RS160 is a two-conductor parallel speaker cable that uses a hybrid conductor combining PC-TripleC and OFC.
When building a multi-channel car audio system—such as swapping speakers or using a DSP amplifier—this cable arrangement becomes a crucial “invisible” part that supports the sound.

Even if you use high-quality speakers and amplifiers, if the cable carrying the signal doesn’t match, you may not be able to fully bring out the intended information content or the sound’s initial attack.
AT-RS160 is not overly focused only on sheer power; it’s a type that makes it easier to bring out natural vocal contours and even the finer tails of notes. As a result, it’s well-suited to front 2-way/3-way multi-channel systems and also to serious car audio installations where an amplifier is mounted in the rear luggage area.

Especially in systems using 8CH or more DSP amplifiers or external amplifiers, the number of wiring runs—and their lengths—tends to increase.
So, beyond just choosing the cable, the final result and long-term serviceability also change depending on which route you run it along, where you bundle it, and how you process it to minimize susceptibility to noise.

At LOGON, we don’t just swap cables. We plan the wiring while considering the vehicle-side structure, the installation locations of the amplifiers and DSP, the speaker configuration, and even any planned future upgrades.
Of course, sound quality is important—but we also care that the processing in areas you can’t easily see is clean and won’t make things difficult when you need to touch it later. This is a key point we take very seriously as a specialty shop.

AT-RS160 is suited for those who want to take their sound one step beyond a factory system, or for those who want to build a solid front stage using a DSP amplifier.
If you’re thinking, “I want to bring out the treble more cleanly,” “I want more thickness in the mid-bass/lower-mids,” or “Since I’m building this, I want to think properly about the wiring as well,” then this is a cable worth considering while looking at the balance of the entire system.

Cable may not be the part that looks flashy, but it’s one of the areas where differences become noticeable the longer you listen.
Because the best way to choose also depends on the combination with the speakers, amplifiers, DSP, and mounting locations, if I were advising, I’d look at the whole system and propose using it appropriately where it matters most.

In car audio, the impression changes a lot more with combinations and installation than with individual parts alone.
Let’s think together about a wiring installation using AT-RS160 that fits your vehicle model and system configuration, and leads to great sound without forcing anything.
