Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval Speaker Cable - 9-Inch - Jumper - Spade to Banana - Set of 4

Analysis Plus Black Mesh Oval Speaker Cable — 9-Inch — Jumper — Spade to Banana — Set of 4

What It Does in Your System

Replace the Metal Strap Your Speakers Came With

Bi-wire speakers have two pairs of binding posts, bridged at the factory by short metal straps or plates. If you run a single cable to each speaker, every note passes through those straps on its way from the bass section to the treble section.

Those straps are usually stamped brass, chosen for cost rather than sound. These jumpers replace them with the same hollow oval cable Analysis Plus builds its full-length runs from.

The Patented Hollow Oval Conductor

Analysis Plus engineers Mark Markel and Qinwei Sun studied why conventional cable falls short. Round conductors let current bunch up unevenly. Rectangular ones concentrate the electric field at their sharp corners, which can cut into the insulation every time the cable flexes.

Computer simulation pointed them to a hollow oval instead. Analysis Plus reports that this shape shows the smallest change in resistance as frequency rises — the property that matters most for keeping treble intact.

The Longer Length for Wider Post Spacing

Nine inches gives you three more inches of reach than the standard jumper. That matters on speakers with widely separated binding post pairs, or on tall floorstanders where the bass and treble terminals sit at opposite ends of a large plate.

A set of four covers two speakers. Each speaker takes two jumpers: one bridging the positive posts, one bridging the negative posts.

Is This Right for You?

A few things to confirm:

• Measure your post spacing first. Nine inches is the long option. Measure center to center between your positive posts — if the gap is small, the 6-inch version will sit more neatly with less cable to tuck away.
• Your speakers have four binding posts. Jumpers only apply to bi-wire-capable speakers. If yours have a single pair of posts, there is nothing here to bridge.
• You are running one cable per speaker, not two. If you already bi-wire with two full cables, the factory straps come off and stay off — you do not need jumpers at all.

Setup & Installation

Remove the factory straps first. They are usually held by the binding post collars, so loosen the collars, slide the straps out, and set them aside.

Fit one jumper between the two positive posts and one between the two negative posts on each speaker. Connect your main speaker cable to whichever pair you prefer — most listeners use the bass posts. Keep polarity consistent, and let any extra length fall in a gentle curve rather than folding it against the cabinet.

Features & Specifications

Patented Hollow Oval Geometry
The same conductor shape Analysis Plus uses in its full-length speaker cable, scaled to jumper length.

Braided Oxygen-Free Copper
Flexible braided conductor that will not kink when routed around binding posts.

Mixed Spade and Banana Terminations
A spade at one end and a banana at the other, so the jumper and your main cable can share a post cleanly.

Hand-Terminated
Built the same way as the full-length cable, since the hollow oval shape rules out machine crimping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get 6-inch or 9-inch?
Measure the distance between your positive binding posts. Choose the length that reaches with a relaxed curve and no strain. If it falls between the two, take the longer one — excess cable can be tucked, but a short jumper simply will not fit.

Will jumpers make a difference I can hear?
You are replacing a stamped metal strap with proper cable, so there is a real change in the conduction path. How audible it is depends on your speakers and the rest of your system. It is a modest upgrade, not a transformation.

Why four instead of two?
Each speaker needs two jumpers, one per polarity. A set of four completes a stereo pair. If you have a center channel or surrounds to do as well, order additional sets.
