Leading Manufacturer of Custom Audio Cables
At Custom Designed Cables, we design and manufacture custom audio cables suited to your individual requirements. As an experienced audio cable manufacturer, we’ve produced microphone, speaker, starquad and composite multicore cables for the audio/visual industry, from home theatre installations to large-scale live events.
Audio cables are one of the most in-demand cable types on the market, and no two applications are quite the same. The quality of an audio signal can be affected by electrical interference, the operating environment, the distance between equipment and even cable damage, all of which we factor into the design of a custom audio cable.
Audio Cable Solutions for Demanding Environments
Delivering high-quality sound over the long term means designing a cable that can withstand its operating conditions without compromising signal quality. Considerations that shape a custom audio cable include:
Conductor material
Copper offers a highly conductive, low-resistance and cost-effective connection, and is generally preferred over silver, which is more conductive but more expensive and more sensitive to impurities.
Cable length
The longer a signal has to travel, the more the output quality can degrade, so a thicker gauge of internal wire is often recommended for longer runs.
Multicore construction
A flexible option for high-output applications, with the number of conductors depending on the demands of the sound system.
Shielding
Essential for reducing electrical interference, with the level of screening depending on how exposed the operating environment is.
Physical protection
Cables used outdoors, at festivals or on stage face a higher risk of physical damage than those in a home theatre setup.
Types of Audio Cables We Manufacture
We manufacture a wide range of high-quality audio cables, including microphone cables, speaker cables, starquad cables and composite multicore cables for the audio/visual industry.
Microphone cables
Designed to carry low-level audio signals with minimal interference, ideal for live and studio use.
Speaker cables
Built to carry higher-power signals from amplifiers to speakers over varying distances.
Starquad cables
A four-conductor design that offers improved rejection of electromagnetic interference, useful in demanding live environments.
Composite multicore cables
Combine multiple audio conductors within a single cable solution, simplifying complex sound system installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best conductor material for an audio cable?
Copper is the most common choice, offering a highly conductive and cost-effective connection. Silver is more conductive but more expensive, and impurities in the material can affect quality.
Does cable length affect audio quality?
Yes. Longer cable runs can reduce signal quality, so a thicker gauge of wire is often recommended to preserve signal integrity over long distances.
Can audio cables be customised?
Yes. Audio cables are often custom-designed to suit specific equipment, environments and distances, including conductor material, shielding and cable length.
