Audio Cables along with their Video counterparts form an indispensible part of our lives. Whether you wish to listen to some soothing music or desire to watch a match or catch a late night show on the television, you require your audio and video cables to be set right. Ever wondered how these cables work? And how can you test whether they are in perfect balance without having to call on the technician every time?

But costly as they may appear, their importance and the work they perform cannot be undermined in any way. In general, speaker cables encompass stranded copper which acts as a great conductor along with two wire strands which represent the polarity of the terminals. They are linked to the source in accordance to the respective input and output terminals. Alternating current is passed through the cables from the amplifier to the speaker which in turn produces sound in the way the tweeter, woofers and drivers are adjusted in varying frequencies. SCART is a form of audio-visual connector more prevalent in the United Kingdom and Europe. It embraces 21 pins and can do the job of analog and component video cables brilliantly.
