How do you wrap an audio cable?

(1-Minute Tutorial)

Audio cables are essential equipment in any audio setup, be it for your home theater, professional studio, or live concerts. Prolonging the life span of your cables requires proper handling, especially when wrapping them up for storage. Wrapping your cables the right way not only increases their lifespan but also helps maintain their integrity and function. This ultimately results in saving cost and improving the sound quality.

Practical Approaches to Wrapping Audio Cables

There are essential rules of thumb when it comes to the correct way to wrap your audio cables. Let’s take a closer look at these points:

Don’t Pinch Your Cables: Avoid pinching the cable as it can damage the interior wiring resulting in decreased sound quality or total failure of the cable[1].

Don’t Tie Your Cables: It might be tempting to tie your cables into a knot for fast and easy unrolling. However, this will cause stress on the cable and cause potential damage[1].

Proper Technique for Cable Wrapping

One technique is to start by making a simple loop, reach under the cable, grab onto it, and turn your wrist like you’re scooping out ice cream[2].

Another technique is the over-over technique. If you’re right-handed, start with the connector in your left hand. Slightly twist the cables using the fingers of your right hand[3].

You must take considerable care while executing this. Do not apply too much pressure or twist the cable too much as it might lead to interior cable damage.

Follow these simple and effective methods to wrap your audio cables properly, ensure their long life, and maintain excellent sound quality.
