Screen & Signal field notes from integrator installs and calibrated listening sessions.

Measurements

Below 3 meters, 12 AWG copper measured identically to boutique cables on 4-ohm loads in blind listening with trained panelists.

Where spend helps

Long runs, outdoor zones, and pro termination quality — not magic metallurgy at typical rack distances.

Integrator advice

Document cable lengths in as-builts; future service calls depend on knowing what is in the wall.
