Talking about power cords and their use in the audio field

Electrical extension cords are very important in portable sound systems. Unfortunately, many people (and companies) utilize improperly sized extension cords.

Relatively speaking, lower gauge extension cords (10ga and less) provide the needed current for amplifiers that are providing bass. Without good current, sound quality will drop. Some amplifiers will temporarily shut off due to low current - this is not good during a show!

SOOW rated electrical cord should be used. The cord jacketing is very important, especially for where the cord will be utilized. Other rated cords may be fine for other uses.

The "trick" to good sound... use the largest gauge possible in addition to the shortest distance possible.
