Using these ELAC speaker cables is easy. First, make sure your speakers and audio device are turned off. Then, connect one end of the cable to the audio device using the banana plugs and the other end to the speakers. You're all set to enjoy improved sound quality. When handling the cables, be gentle with the gold - plated contacts to avoid damage. Store the cables in a cool, dry place when not in use. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose the cables to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can affect their performance. And if you want a longer cable, remember they're also available in a 15 - foot version.
