audio-technica AT-RS160｜Speaker cable that’s easy to use even for multi-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.
In car audio, when you build a multi-system using speaker replacements and a DSP amplifier, the cabling around this product is something that matters a great deal as the “invisible” part that supports the sound.

Even if you use great speakers and amplifiers, if the cable carrying the signal isn’t a good match, you may not be able to fully bring out the information content and the sound’s attack that you’re expecting.
The AT-RS160 is not overly focused only on power; it’s a type that makes the vocal contours and even the fine lingering reverb sound natural as well. Therefore, it’s a cable that’s easy to match with serious multi-channel car audio setups such as front 2WAY and 3WAY configurations.

In systems that use DSP amplifiers and external amplifiers with 8CH or more, the number of connection points also increases—so it’s important to choose the right cable and ensure professional installation quality.
For safe installation methods depending on your vehicle and equipment combination, please be sure to consult your installer.

At LOGON, we don’t just recommend swapping the cable. We check vehicle conditions, connected equipment, speaker configuration, and even your future expansion plans, and then propose the details of the installation.
As a specialty shop, we care about not only sound quality, but also being able to use it safely and with peace of mind for a long time.

The AT-RS160 is suited for people who want to take their sound design a step beyond a factory system, or for those who want to build a solid front stage using a DSP amplifier.
If you want to “hear the high frequencies more clearly,” “add thickness to the mid-bass and lower mids,” or “since you’re putting it together, really think about the wiring,” this is a cable you’ll want to consider while looking at the balance of the entire system.

A cable isn’t a flashy-looking component, but it’s one of the parts where differences show when you listen for a long time.
How to choose it also varies depending on the combination of speakers, amplifier, DSP, and vehicle conditions—so if I were advising, I’d look at the whole system and suggest using it properly where it’s needed.

In audio, the overall impression changes considerably more from the combination and installation than from individual parts alone.
Let’s also think together about wiring installation using the AT-RS160—shaping it so that it leads to great sound in a way that fits your vehicle model and system configuration.
