Monster Cable Product Description
When You're Serious About Home Theater, You Need the Highest Performance Cable
Serious home theater means achieving the best possible picture and sound. Maximizing performance requires using the most advanced cable. For Monster Cable, that means making our best even better. The main criteria is performance--create the world's highest quality, most advanced line of home theater cable. So Monster joined forces with THX, the leader in audio/video quality assurance programs for select movie theaters, home theater components, and DVDs. And a new breed of home theater cable was born. Introducing Monster Ultra Series THX-Certified Speaker Cable
Monster's Ultra Speaker Cable 1000 features low-loss QuadraPole construction to dramatically reduce high-frequency signal loss. Unlike Monster, ordinary cable with its two-conductor design will have high inductance, which causes a loss of high frequencies. Large space between electrical fields (+ and -) creates inductance, an electrical phenomenon causing high-frequency signal loss. The effect is lackluster sound as the highs are rolled off. QuadraPole optimizes the relationship between electrical fields by utilizing four high-purity copper conductors, tightly twisted in a helical configuration. This reduces the space between the conductors and reduces the inductance. You'll hear the full audio bandwidth with amazing clarity and more balanced sound. Advanced Time Correct Windings and Magnetic Flux Tube Construction for Unprecedented Balance and Sonic Accuracy
Each wire network of Monster's Ultra Speaker Cable 1000 utilizes patented Time Correct windings for precise imaging and exact placement of dialog, music, and sound effects across a wide sound stage. The patented Magnetic Flux Tube increases current-handling capacity for deeper, tighter bass. Greater Power Transfer for Full Dynamic Range
Maximum power transfer. It's one of the cornerstones of great home theater speaker cable performance. With Monster, you've got the power! Monster Ultra Series Speaker Cable features not the typical two, but four larger gauge copper conductors for greater power transfer that brings all the heart-pounding home theater movie excitement to life.

These things are THICK December 6, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
From the Internet cable connection to a wider exhaust on the car everyone knows when it comes to efficiency the thicker the better!
And oh man are these babys thick! they also use a method Monster calls "time correct windings" Basically they "twist" or "braid" the wire so the current has a premade "path" to follow. Take that "twist" or "braid" and wind it with 3 others "braids" to make a thicker more complete wire then twist it again it again. Think of it as "grain" on a piece of wood. The current follows the "grain" so to speak giving the current a faster more efficient track to follow with minimal interruption or degradation. Thus giving the speaker a better more powerful boost. There are small color coded rubber rings that can be switched out depending on which channel you are connecting (eg: left front, right surround etc) This way you have a color coded system and know which wire goes where.
Note the banana clips at the end are quite thick so it might not fit in the connection ports on all speakers.
MONSTER HATERS NEED NOT BUY - BUT 5 STARS FROM THIS AUDIOPHILE February 12, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
By now, you've all probably heard that Monster Cable is "overrrated" or "does very good marketing." Well, as a self-proclaimed audiophile, my first word of advice is that you must make sound quality determinations on your OWN - don't be strayed by others.
That being said, the Monster Cable THX Ultra 1000 series of speaker cables are simply superb. I purchased the highly acclaimed QED Anniversary XT speaker cables (with QED airlocs) from the UK after reviewing the WHATS HI FI magazines article and "Product of the Year" award. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The Monster Cable ULT 1000 sounded significantly better than the QED's that cost nearly twice as much! The highs in the Monster Cable were clearly better and more pronounced in the Monster Cable and the bass sounded tighter and more full. Clean, clear, and detailed sound was apparent in both cables, but the range of sound was much more pronounced in the Monster Cable.
My recommendation is ONLY with respect to this speaker cable (1000 version). I cannot attest to any other Monster Cable product.
The only word of advice would be to purchase the Monster Cable 1000 WITH the banana plugs already attached. The newer Monster Cable speaker cable has this along with longer terminated ends (for more flexibility). The older version has shorter ends without banana ends - this has cause one cable I've owned to wear out due to twisting and movement of the wire.
