QED Profile 79 Strand Speaker Cable Black - 5 Metre
Classic 79 Strand
A Trusted Favourite Among Hi-Fi Enthusiasts
QED Profile 79 Strand Speaker Cable has earned its place as one of the most respected speaker cables in the hi-fi world. Originally launched in 1978, this iconic cable quickly became the benchmark for affordable audio upgrades, proving that the right speaker cable can make a genuine difference to sound quality. More than four decades later, it remains a popular choice for music lovers and home cinema users looking for dependable performance without unnecessary cost.
Classic 79 Strand Design
Designed using QED’s well-known ‘figure 8’ construction, the Profile 79 Strand cable combines flexibility with reliable signal transfer. Its 79-strand configuration and generous 14 AWG thickness help deliver stronger, cleaner audio compared to standard entry-level speaker wire. Whether used in a stereo hi-fi setup or a surround sound system, the cable maintains excellent performance even over longer cable runs.
Recognised for its long-standing reputation, it remains the only cable to receive the prestigious Federation of British Audio TEST OF TIME Award — a reflection of its proven quality and enduring popularity.
Smooth, Detailed Sound Performance
Using Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) conductors, the QED Profile 79 Strand is designed to minimise signal loss and improve overall clarity. The result is a fuller, more balanced sound with improved bass depth, cleaner vocals and greater detail across the frequency range. Compared to basic “bell wire” style speaker cable, it offers a noticeable improvement in both musical accuracy and overall listening enjoyment.
Flexible Yet Built to Last
Despite its thicker construction, the cable remains flexible enough for straightforward installation around furniture, skirting boards and AV cabinets. The durable outer jacket helps protect against everyday wear and tear, making it suitable for long-term use in both home hi-fi and home cinema environments.
Ideal for Hi-Fi & Home Cinema Systems
Whether you are upgrading an existing setup or building a new audio system from scratch, the QED Profile 79 Strand Speaker Cable delivers excellent value and trusted performance. Its combination of durability, flexibility and proven sound quality makes it a reliable choice for connecting amplifiers, AV receivers and speakers in virtually any setup.
