What You Need to Know

The Cable That Made Analysis Plus Famous, in Bi-Wire Form

Oval 9 is the cable that built this company's reputation — a design so well regarded that reviewers kept remarking on how little it costs relative to what it does. Black Mesh Oval 9 is the current version, with the same engineering under an attractive black mesh jacket.

This listing is the Bi-Oval 9: a four-conductor bi-wire configuration, 10 feet long, terminated with a spade at one end and bananas at the other, sold as a single run for one speaker.

Hollow Oval Geometry That Keeps Resistance Flat Across the Band

Analysis Plus is an engineering firm first — the Michigan company earned its name modeling and testing cables for other manufacturers before deciding it could do better. Their simulations showed that round conductors suffer badly from current bunching and skin effect, so they developed a patented hollow oval cross-section instead.

A woven pattern places every wire statistically as close to the return current as every other wire. Current density stays even, resistance barely changes with frequency, and what you hear is a cable that sounds consistent from the bottom of the bass to the top of the treble.

Nine Gauge of Copper for Demanding Speakers and Long Runs

This is a substantial cable — 9 AWG of high-purity oxygen-free copper, built to handle deep bass notes played loudly without losing grip. Analysis Plus points it specifically at lower-sensitivity speakers, longer runs, and higher listening volumes.

Rather than solid conductors, which kink and deform, Analysis Plus uses a flexible braid paired with a computer-matched dielectric.

Is This Right for You?

A few things to confirm before ordering:

• This is a single run, not a pair. One 10-foot cable connects one speaker. Order two if you're wiring both channels.
• Your speakers have two sets of binding posts. The bi-wire configuration only works when the speaker gives separate access to its high-pass and low-pass crossover sections. Single-post speakers need the standard Black Mesh Oval 9 instead.
• Check your terminal types against the mixed termination. This SKU has a spade on one end and bananas on the other. Confirm which end goes where and that your amplifier and speaker terminals each accept the connector they'll receive.

Setup & Installation

At the amplifier end, the four conductors are joined to a common connection, so it attaches like an ordinary full-range cable — positive to positive, negative to negative. At the speaker end, remove the factory jumper straps first, then connect one positive and one negative to the treble posts and one positive and one negative to the bass posts. Get polarity right at every connection and wire both channels identically.

The cable measures roughly 20mm by 8mm, so it's a wide flat oval rather than a round bundle. That profile lies neatly along a baseboard, but 9-gauge conductors don't like tight turns — give it a generous radius behind the rack. Keep the run clear of AC power cords where you can and cross at right angles where you can't.

Features & Specifications

Patented Hollow Oval Geometry
Minimizes current bunching and skin effect so resistance stays nearly constant across the audio band.

Woven Braided Conductor
Every wire sits statistically as close to the return current as every other, distributing current density evenly for better signal transfer than solid-conductor designs.

9-Gauge Oxygen-Free Copper
A substantial conductor built to hold onto deep bass at high volume, especially with lower-sensitivity speakers.

Four-Conductor Bi-Wire Configuration
Separate conductor pairs for the bass and treble sections of your speaker's crossover, from a single amplifier connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include both speaker cables?
No — this is one single 10-foot run, which connects one speaker. Add two to your cart to wire a stereo pair.

What's the difference between this and the standard Black Mesh Oval 9?
Same conductor, same geometry, same gauge. The Bi-Oval 9 uses four conductors so your speaker's bass and treble binding posts each get their own pair. If your speakers have a single set of posts, the standard version is what you want.

Is 9 gauge overkill for my system?
Not if you have lower-sensitivity speakers, a longer run, or you listen at real volume — that's exactly what Analysis Plus designed it for. On efficient speakers in a small room it's more capability than you strictly need, though the geometry benefits apply regardless.
