Will the 16AWG cable work fine with my pair of Dynaudio BM15A Studio Monitors or should I get another type of cable such as the 14AWG or the 18AWG?

A shopper on May 25, 2017

BEST ANSWER: The short answer is yes. So would the 18 gauge. The lower the gauge number of the wire, the larger the wire, and the higher the current carrying capabilities. As the wire get physically larger, the resistance inherent in the wire decreases, which means less voltage drop over the length of the wire.

Looking at the specs of your monitors, the max power consumption is stated to be 300 watts. That would equate to 2.5 amps. A 15 foot length of 16 gauge wire would have a voltage drop of 0.15 volts at maximum power draw. For comparison, the same length of 18 gauge would have a 0.24 volt drop, and 14 gauge would drop .095v.

Personally, I would get the 18 gauge and get back to making music!

They should work perfectly fine with any powered speaker or monitor. I bought these to power up a pair of high powered loudspeakers that came with 18awg shorter cables. I figured the extra thickness in cable can only help not hurt. I'm sure the cable thickness of the cords that came with your monitors are only 18awg so you probably only need that anyway.

16 Gauge will work fine for you. It can handle 13 amps. Your studio monitors will be less power than that.

Exactly what I needed

Giving it 5 stars because it's exactly as I expected, and works fine. Monoprice filled and shipped in a timely manner. Took a while to get here because of mail being slower than usual, but that was expected.

Does the job

At our video projector installations, manufacturer-supplied IEC power cords must be hanked and stowed. Minimal lengths have cleaner appearance, and we can always use the unneeded 2m and 3m IEC cords elsewhere.

Great for DJ setup

I bought these to replace the short power cables that come with powered DJ speakers. Just right, reaches from the stands to power distribution panel.
