However, speaker wires aren\u2019t the same. The truth is that transmitting the ideal wattage to home audio devices is primarily dictated by the size of the speaker wire\/cable conductor one chooses. Four-conductor speaker wires are also used differently than a two-conductor cable\/wire. That said, let us look at some other critical aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"red-white-audio-cable-left-and-right-function\">Red White Audio Cable Left and Right: Function<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Made for bi-amping, meaning the use of two amps for one speaker, the four-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>conductor speaker cable\/wire has a more significant entry for power when put up against the double-conductor speaker cable\/wire. However, the two-conductor wire is still highly efficient when wiring one speaker powered with one amp.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"red-white-audio-cable-left-and-right-sound-quality\">Red White Audio Cable Left and Right: Sound Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Two and four-conductor speaker wires come in a wide range of gauge sizes. The larger ones can handle more ohm loads, which results in increased potential power. On the other hand, the four-conductor speaker wire doesn\u2019t have better sound production than the two-conductor speaker wire. Nonetheless, it is fair to say that these wires are designed for different uses not directly related to audio quality.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"red-white-audio-cable-left-and-right-important-factors\">Red White Audio Cable Left and Right: Important Factors<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The four-conductor speaker wire is applied when linking two speakers when the situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>allows. It\u2019s also useful whenever a person wants to transmit power from the receiver to volume control. However, when paired up, the four-conductor speaker wire tends to have greater effectiveness levels, which promotes increased power delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"color-codes-of-twoconductor-speaker-wires\">Color Codes of Two-Conductor Speaker Wires<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b6b7b8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b6b7b8;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-12-jpg.webp\" alt=\"2 Conductor Wire\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-6445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-12-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-12-300x63.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-12-768x161.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Caption: 2 Conductor Wire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A speaker wire comprises an equal number of electrical conductors that are well-insulated from each other and have a protective jacket that covers them up. A single conductor, or a group of conductors, is called a positive conductor (red), whereas the other is known as a negative conductor (black). Another important point when using these wires is to understand copper is the most used conductor metal inside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Terminal<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Wire Color<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Negative<\/td><td>Black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Positive<\/td><td>Red<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"color-codes-of-fourconductor-speaker-wires\">Color Codes of Four-Conductor Speaker Wires<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b9bec4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b9bec4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-13-jpg.webp\" alt=\"4 Conductor Wire\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-6444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-13-jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-13-300x279.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.clooms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-13-768x713.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Caption: 4 Conductor Wire<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of full-house wiring, or multi-room audio, a four-conductor wire is typically used since it can lower the amount of cable and labor required. The color scheme for the four-conductor is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Speaker one: Red (positive) and Black (negative)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaker two: White (positive) and Green (negative)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The speaker uses the first two conductors since two-conductor speakers usually have a red and black conductor. The black is negative, while the red is positive. People who engage in audio activities usually tend to do things from left to right. As a result, the left is generally designated as the first two conductors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the right speaker has green and white or some yellow conductors. The green can also come with a yellow stripe, the color of an earth ground present within the AC wiring. This setup allows us to use the green color wire as a negative, leaving white or yellow colored wires for a positive connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Speaker<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Terminal<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Wire color<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Right<\/td><td>Negative<\/td><td>Yellow or white<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Right<\/td><td>Positive<\/td><td>Green<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Left<\/td><td>Negative<\/td><td>Black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Left<\/td><td>Positive<\/td><td>Red<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As seen from the information above, speaker wires were designed to deliver audio data from a receiver to a speaker.
