" If you're a home theatre system you probably spent thousands of dollars on your equipment. What does that that much of most likely going to spend a little bit more and by some high end monster cables like -- so today we're gonna explain everything you need to know about a month to hide. And how to build yourself. At a fraction of the cost I'm Kevin Rose I'm Daniel are welcome to system."

" Said -- it isn't not canned humor he's actually out -- and more these high end audio video cables but this is David Randolph was a broadcast engineers been doing is a little over twelve years now. In the time experience doing this. Oh yeah about five years ago light stopped counting at 500 miles of cables. That's the law how it until I think people look up so we need you because we're talking about -- cables today and I just went out and what did the best by the who bought these two cables and 120. Dollars for two monster cables this seems a little pricey is there a way that we can actually build these suspect for less money. Absolutely I mean you're looking at just what you need to hook up just a dvd player to TV. I can outfit your entire entertainment center and everything in it for less than the cost of that allow. Perfect sounds good to me but I want to go through some of the stuff doesn't I know one consumers go on the -- of these packages they put them over there's a lot of marketing terms on here some of the seems like a little bit of marketing hype to me. But let's talk about each one of these terms and then you can tell me what you're gonna create a -- match that. So starting off here first thing 24 karat gold connectors now gold obviously I hear it's like the best mental everybody uses it why are using here is a necessary."

" Well we have gold is by far the best conductor of electricity I mean that's why NASA uses and on everything. But at the end of the day you have a copper cable through ten sauter to a gold connector right and it's really the weakest link in the chain is your ten. So having gold you can nothing for this -- it's just like having ten all the way through the whole thing."

" I say Zola so they're going to gold I mean there's a single that it uses B connectors in that doesn't make sense to me it's like a digital connection might union that it's more marketing than anything else it's more market and it looks real pretty and you could tell your friends I've got gold right. -- okay next one here the split tip center -- What's out I noticed that each when these pins on the outside actually has split right on the center. Well."

" That's one thing at a monster does that's really greatest -- its patent technology violent. And what they've done is they've made the end of the connector so that it spreads apart and pushes against the outside of the actual -- connections and inclusion in excellent we can do the same thing with the parent needle nose pliers just -- in the end a little bit. To give an oval shapes that we put it and it squeezes."

" Backed around I seasoning get -- that happy with the new of those present -- okay now how about does silver solder so that's what soldering here in the gun so -- they -- copper silver gold now."

" You mean so I mean the best -- math course going to be the sober now and then bombs so. There -- a little bit better but we're gonna make up for with a better quality cable we're gonna make up for with better cable links. And better connectors in general nice sounds good now this when you double ceiling a 100% -- 90% copper so this is two levels -- shielding on the cable correct. Correct what they basically have is they have a solid shield around it which is good for general. -- only stopping any interference around certain then -- have rated she'll on the outside of that this British aliens calibrated for being about 35 homes which is what's gonna affect them. And they put that they hope to capture all that and than anything else falls over the hope to capture by the foil okay -- cables used the same thing. The only difference this is that our shield in on the upper incites the boo -- the little calibrated just a little bit closer to sixty Hertz and sixty -- rather than sending -- semifinal. So we get a little more coverage on the outside then they knew on the inside -- and it's all about stopping at that first chance to get."

" Excellent all right so this when you're always confuse me Patton did gas injected dialect or no what is this gas injected I was called out. Well basically the person that electric is the foam that separates the center conductor from the shield -- on the outside it's okay so is that let me -- of the -- and senator that's right on sun and -- caught -- little -- see you on the -- isn't that is right little white stuff right."

" And they Jesus really grade is very uniform all that. We're using we're using you know get in a gas injected but it's not done the same way -- so it's very close but when monster cable goes to test all the cables. They're testing in their specs against the cable we're using today on -- and you know. Ours is that the key reference everyone bills -- equipment around it so rather than try to make something else we're gonna make an identical to what. All the professionals use and so."

" Yes what is it professionals -- this is what you would use the cable the -- cable that we're buying is what you would use and production facilities like this standard broadcast quality cable you know any any professional environment any long runs an environment with lots of interference from use the same cable excellent okay now the last thing here high -- finally find stranded copper conductors. So what they're referring to here and that's just the center conductor right."

" Less -- a conductor and you know the you know if an audio cables as a strand of thinner conductors. And this is the quality of the copper and at the end of the day others and impurities and copper and what have -- there's always gonna be a level. Com. It's a very good marketing term because they don't actually tell you. How puritanism just telling you it's high purity I -- a case that is -- marketing them as a little bit of marketing and our cables have high purity as well okay."

" And then the last years -- is there anything we can do with these cables that go above and beyond kind of what monster is doing. Absolutely I mean. The key is that the number one problem monster cable is that when you buying them. You buy them in four foot eight foot twelve foot 25 -- links I can never get the right but I always have like a mess of cables and -- back that is really wound up in I don't know what to do with and so while those."

" means that you have back there who are creating huge antennas for interference. That's the number one problem -- winding no whining and there's the you know no winding no court really know communal bunching it up no -- draping across other cables. A year your key thing is to hit the signal from your device. To the other device as fast and straight path as you possibly can -- not going out and actually measuring exactly the businesses that you need and and cutting to spec. The precise distances you don't have to have an extra looping or anything else exactly you're gonna put the one foot six inches. Of cable and goes between the two you'll never find -- cable any story go to."

" Okay so what. We like overall lot of people wonder what do broadcast engineers think a monster cable I mean is this a high quality cable or you always do it making your own -- in a -- he is this. I mean what you do and I'm on the home you're creating your own stuff right. But and is is this article is concerned what you think. You'll never."

" But I mean they're great I mean you'll never find us -- of production environment because no one -- I'm I'm spend that much money that profession that price really is the price okay. If I had a person that really had no electronics skill and couldn't will this clutter in our and I just don't deal them. I would send them out and buy a monster cables okay. But at there was a person I was willing to spend about an hour two hours around I would definitely teach him out of -- make your own camp."

" Nice well let's let's puppet tools let's make some cables sounds like -- Arts are -- make our first video cable now would have cable itself we have all the connectors and also the tools that we're gonna be using saw I guess we can stop by had to scuttle the tools. Right that the first -- uses a collapse we'll stripper and."

" Bomb in this case for using a generic one but done that's because I am new palette and stunning come in. That's my personal favorite and that feels really good. Bomb the next full we're using here is a set of clippers and mom in this case I really like canard -- first -- also makes a good set for -- And then we just have some standard time diagonal cutters you know got small size and medium size he's a small size for -- up the little. Extraneous wires and medium size for it -- straight through the cable okay. Then we have connectors for using C 53 can -- connectors -- I imagine this is a ton of different connectors out there how did you land unease. Well. I really like building cable I really like canard connectors and when you start kind of cross check in a mall. These canard connectors work with just built in cable okay that's when the -- there's because there is a thousand different types of cable there's a thousand different types of connectors. You've gotta match one with the other so if you're shopping anyone you know very from this list. You're gonna have to do some homework and really think it out and physical -- it is and is a gold plated so they're gonna look pretty and you'll never see them again is. Now parts of this actual car -- connector this is at the center Hampton and then you have a sleeve. Now listener -- what actually slides up through the -- connector and make that connection for the -- And the -- as well actually grasp the cable squeezes them around and holds the cable connection -- together holds the ground to the outside of the connector. And finish is awful thing makes it look really pretty. I going to let up cable here well this is -- and 1694. -- cable. This is kind of my favorite this is used to a lot of broadcast operations. And when they use that they use and -- for serial digital transmission fees which they used for very long links we're talking 500 plus feet per cable. And I figured if it's good enough for serial digital broadcast it's good enough for our little you know home entertainment center and write them I guess that's entry to decision exactly have to have a red green and blue because of Veronica component cable we want to know which ones -- and agreeing which owns a blue --"

" Everything left Mecca for table. I think you got anything to when you create these things right -- that in your characters -- Now I say yeah and I see here we've got some cable what -- Vegas six foot you will start with just a good -- six foot cam must okay so I guess wears out by stripping the -- right."

" Right for -- use this -- a stripper here. And want to keep things are gonna notice is that when you first get to coax stripper. It has to be set up for that particular cable cut the okay and if you look on the backside of any collects stripper. They usually includes allowance to all the adjustments -- this even on that she goes they have that. So what's an artisan there's these little gauges here these little you know adjustments groups and what that does is that inside the connector there are two blades."

" This is just the depth."

" The first -- specifically cut all the way through everything. And just exposed just the thing conductor but it's -- right into the -- right -- thinner copper all right secondly is just a little bit further back and that's is going to really move the insulation so exposed the shielding okay so get through the like the classes like -- that's going around the outside exactly. So we part of it does -- want to -- go ahead and I'm just strip the cable here and get it ready to go okay. So Obama's plan put this all back together. And there's always that in town and outside and an inside and the outside is where you're gonna have to put -- cable through. And when I'm making an album RCA's I like to -- just a little bit extra help trim this off later detonated is that trim the outside rights and don't you can always cut it off you can add more. So -- spent. I usually three or four you'll fill the blade cut through. When you go through you want full rotation back okay what this does is it does the final cut and really helps clean the cut up. Now the most common mistake that most people make. Is that they just yank it off to make it on I think I just couldn't do probably the exact same thing and that just also played. Going to pay 3040 bucks for this fully -- to last a while so you pick it up and open -- kind of dragged off for it. And returned to us first take the cable. Twist it and pull off. And there's our center conductor physically until nice and clean there's little no no little mix on matter anything that is that was the first then others and a second title a bit further back right right there's little second cut right there."

" And it's a little harder to get off so I usually grab the big -- there and I was kind of -- it. And wiggle it. See just want to take up that outside casing they riots and you don't want him so much that's who actually -- shielding sketches occasionally has months of that impact as possible okay."

" And that's my general Islam."

" Perfect I'll the next thing is we need to trim the center conductor to exact point though is exactly there how are you want to come off the the end here."

" It completely depends on the connector you're working with my general suggestions I tell people you know figured out."

" Probably the easiest way and it eagle look at the website to have drawings and trying to master it."

" But my little trick that take the connector. And I laid up against the wire. And it's gonna push down a missile caller hears from slight to slightly anything that you. And if you look at the connector. You can start to see where -- Americans going to be. And the last time mastered -- it's Ryan about this'll take mark okay good rough -- something like that we can start pushing and find out what works best for you know how we can -- you cut it too short -- too long how can you tell them well wants to -- the Senate can --"

" You won't here click okay so you look at that snapped this that are gonna snap into place exactly errors too long."

" This won't slide all the way down longer enough and it's fueling around -- Tell that that's kind of years you know fitness and after you can't figure out the system from that connector. Then you're good to go to there's no go back into this again though right because the the connectors completely sealed that connectors completely sealed there's no backing up. Fact that I like to tell people you know after you start the project your first time you're gonna probably lose one or two connectors to scan everything prepped me the dreaded. Which isn't a big deal you know couple bucks if it happens and much to save it's worth. So. I've got -- measurements. And it's just about right or I want it isn't good enough you know good margin of her -- and and and usually it's we have enough to work okay. So the next I have to do is put want these send her hands on."

" These are bands are really small and I can't and is -- Boston carpet."

" So if you can don't do it over carpet because you'll still lose them and stuff abominable the minds of -- bad -- And easy not easy to slide it over the senator -- Push it down as far as it'll go and pick up your Kemper's. Now on a -- there still noticed that on the -- side there's a small little hole kind of looks like a mistake this you know. No this is actually for Clinton summer -- okay. And what you're gonna do. You open a competent and you -- is senate pin and all the way and push -- that little sleeve and in the Easter pinching down. And then squeeze at all Alicia Paris that's observers particularly close gets the connection is today there is no connection to -- on a pretty good and I'm gonna come apart okay so you have this -- the -- is adequate to really solidified this connector so what that there is really does is editing groove right there so -- was connecting to take a solid connection right you're gonna hear a little clinic who feel little color -- in place just locks in place okay and that's -- you know we have a good connection. Now the next he -- to do is we have to come make room as we shove this down we want this shielding begins much around the outside as possible okay. So we have to do is just cut peeled back to seal him. Now we're caught til I'm back the braided steel and not the foil seal."

" Can -- the foil -- go inside the connector. And liberating feeling coming around outside of the connector -- just to make a really good connection more metal on metal is always the best thing when it comes to connectors and now I sort of forgotten one important step here with which is really important."

" Asleep. If you don't put this Levon and you put that connector on you've ruined connector you gotta start okay. So remember puts us live on sometimes you need to do it before you actually -- that back stay here for details there -- exactly."

" But if you forget just."

" Push it on and call in okay but it make sure you remember that time especially in a second connector -- can't she get back the other way. So after we've done maps -- slightly on. Amateur and notices that you're gonna get a little click out of it and to take a little bit force to come and get right in there. And you're gonna fill it click America. -- and there and -- on a pretty good and we're gonna just about right. Now we -- is -- that -- back over."

" You can make his even as we can't her fingers. And has kept pushing up there and get."

" That color as close to this the and placed on -- okay there are literally take the sleeves. Slide it over. As our external Clinton connector here so we're gonna take a final cramped here. And you'll notice it's a crap always has -- side with the screw and without scrutiny. When you're doing a final craft. You do decide with out discriminate towards the connector. How does that differ from dream the other way well that's -- we'll hit the connector or not making crimp all the it's just a mechanical flaw all members he's gotta remember to do with that it. And it is really just slide it up. And sit there and crap -- takes a little bit of force. It now. You ratcheted usually two cramps depend on the link to the caller who could you get this little you know old that he happens."

" And I command -- pretty good -- And when ideas and clearly relating and make sure you get the exact same angle I have before. And -- again. That way kind of nice and pretty clean. Now have a really strong connector it's rated for up to 25 pounds of force before pull off."

" And it's -- again. Okay it's an artist we have to finish it up a little -- doing it right we're gonna do is that affirmative component cable we're gonna assume that this is your red green and blue cable -- Let's go ahead as they were doing the green. You know really just sit there. And I take camel cut off about an inch to me this is just an identifier. Now. Unfortunately this time effort."

" Got to put it on always happens and so this -- slide it over the other end of the still open. Working all the way down the table to the other side that's the benefit of remember in the first connector but don't forget on the second best."

" So what about the size of this -- to be what are you looking for here mean. I've seen it varies you can give -- an extremely large size -- too but then how far can actually shrink down --"

" So yeah yeah half Santa's gonna recorder and -- you know the you do the math and -- that -- I want to get as close as possible because that we don't have treat it as much. And it'll stay stronger because the more you shrink it the more fragile becomes more -- becomes. So the closing at the better off you are there now when you shrink and -- stuff either using heat gun was really expensive trick. Or you do kind of you know -- later -- industries lighter okay. Gently -- it up and call it done earlier and that's it."

" That's your that's your video cable now you could use this cable for component video. Com or composite video. If -- reason for components you just gotta make it three times I know what the obviously. When easel for component that you can actually he's afraid he is well exactly it's full full rating back photos of this back fully up to spec port component HDR it. So is it lets me go out on a cable sounds good seats. That a -- new tools we have the multi -- the soldering iron in the solder sucker and then we've also added some RCA connectors in some audio cable. With the regulators to be --"

" Oh look and are we -- on nine the F -- work just as well you need your hands on -- just -- crappy system. My personal preferences in a phone lines that case it."

" Well -- about he had the cable itself and doesn't there's a lot thinner normally when you're looking at took body regular speaker wire it's the so much thicker than. This why why is open."

" Well when you're looking -- speaker wire you gotta think evidence you don't higher voltage and the content on cable you need to have less resistance for higher voltage."

" But when mister -- low voltage is like audio cables analog cable specifically. If you have too much copper there the signal kind gets you know more noise and interference and it. And it actually cause some resistance in the cable or anything so when professional -- is this how many is this -- in huge bundle and run up racks and hundreds of feet. And it's good enough for them it's good enough for us far short little U2 and three for an application right we should say this is just between component to component we're not talking about actually ever running -- this out the speakers are -- like that absolutely not to be extremely disappointed if you did."

" All right so let's let go to these aren't what the first I have to do is remove this --"

" Now I'm not talked about earlier about not using a nine for blade or anything like that."

" Let me -- with the idea I IT here. One of the heat things to think about is that the stripper for this that he wants but 4050 bucks and I say you know ways -- couple few months ago right. And what you do is basically taking utility knife in your lives you know face you know with the blade facing up and -- cable on it."

" And very carefully and a good thing you know but if figure that later in. Put it probably the very carefully. No -- just push in a little bit of pressure on that and just role in the cable over it's just a little it very carefully remove your thumb. You look like you know -- a couple times trust me. Does is still recommend actually getting a stripper and doing the right way and we don't recommend it but this is a way to -- happily around you can do it."

" Rise if you're stuck okay now sometimes now under the thumb way just don't quite cut all the way through movements they just can't come back in just. Push it and then finish to cut Mary ago. There is so you pull that up what exposing well what exposes that this has three wires and then Annie a foil around isn't ever basically just. Pull off the foil we don't need if this part that's for most of."

" First part of insulation from this whole thing all of the wire runs through -- foil -- out all three of wires and here. But an RCA only has two -- But there wires really for those high end professional."

" They use you know big connect easily huge quarter inch or an excel are we don't use an innocent all home devices are -- the gadget."

" So the first thing we have to do is takeoff want to wires and you think well. Why not have the one with little -- on the outside and it and then not cut and then cut off the one without threat. Well at candidate -- really not causing any insulation has just been short season. Add the problem is is that if -- cut this off. And -- this exposed. I have this potential amount of metal here that's gonna short off against you know either the ground or something now the narrative. And that's not causing more fair."

" So okay so what I do as I sit there and I goes far up the tables I can't -- And I cut out as much of that -- as possible it's -- And that's basically it's just exposes the red wire and ground that okay and this case. Now the next I have to do is take -- connector and a ship them to be you know fully assembled. And his cam twist them apart if you can't twist it out is gonna apparently those pension on and it'll pull apart just fine for applicant. Now this mistake and I I said -- on video analysts say it again. If you forget to put -- him on if you'll say so many curse -- And swear so much that she just you won't know what to -- with -- first have to put that on for Paris you don't you're really screw. And actually have to do this you know start to -- point to these wires because they're very rough blanks. And they let you do is basically take a connector and you can measure up by guy. And what you're going force -- to I have all this white go below the south like caller this is where we're gonna -- to hold us together get it. Your first impression would be to cut that -- exact. -- link and put them there we want a little bit -- in that wire."

" Get a little player it'll play that way component cable little bits get a little more forgiving in August differences."

" So where is -- in there and I see this come all the way down and we're oh. There should be good. -- put my finger in there and cut that off. And discuss flying across the room but hey you know and works yeah. What we're gonna do here is gonna kind of you know drive that it again and realized that Obama have about that much -- That's pretty that we can work and that's within reason right there okay. What he's gonna notice is never saw that and first and numerous items around outside look at force under the similar to strip off the end -- I have -- teeple strippers here. They spring but you know I think the four books that work on my response. The thought just a little bit of it that so you -- that expose what this not very much I'd probably say little more than maintenance okay. And -- twist it really -- as -- as we can do is denying us clean twist on. And an excellent news for antenna wouldn't well I don't use a."

" Third hand. I use this huge clamp this clamp has a little overkill for a lot of people but for me doing all their long. It was an investment forming hundred bucks to a point that's so it's Clinton would take is exactly -- so why tinian in the cable. Well if you're -- into the cable this what you're doing is just kind -- slaughters suck up on almost -- groups."

" And as -- created a nice solid center to push into the rest of the furniture feels about the empty spaces that is exactly makes it more to a solid core which is definitely worth it."

" And alternative take this -- here. -- tested out. And Hamas and every year and -- is gonna clamp it in just kind of help out."

" Has that down. If your attention on the cable don't pension so tight that it breaks the connection because. That's gonna cost a lot of issues just not have to hold in place is not Apple plays because we're just -- take a little bit -- just touch it took about it. And -- to do here. As caretaker soldering iron. Take --"

" At repressive anti heat the wire."

" And put dishonor to the top of it. One I think real tricks do that is kind of touched the -- just a little bit and hit the wire it's a little bit faster."

" And doesn't think much as you can tell I'm this is who grew its bit to prevent and the area can just beautifully RA."

" And now we're gonna do in his room go ahead and put -- ends and -- sent us honest and a -- okay but before -- did that hours and it hit my ground wire and really twist it really tight. I'm just help -- with mat later on yeah. So now the next thing is is that put this into the clamp and do the work. A lot of people say you know client from the out size some tissue clamped from the center pan. My rule of thumb is is that you should always clamp around threats."

" The reason for that is that he clan Austin -- you're gonna put additional pressure on you don't want to clamp around the house audio book that pressure on it. And to clamp in the color you can actually shift. The Senate panel on it if you -- but here it's usually best area."

" It's trips the strips Leo the threats -- little bit but not enough to matter okay. Or do is kind clamp that in just look just a little bit. Third -- work okay if you're using and one of those will keep both their hands. It's best actually clamp that."

" Onto the Senate hand and then put another clam up here with pop. Because you're never gonna kinda connection just one little Peter clip right."

" So the next thing we're have to do a threat to drop some -- and that's our whole. How in the world and oh very carefully. Basically sit there and we're just gonna kind of hold our -- Annan to vary."

" the whole. And it's kind of you know. Animal slaughter truck and haul it -- to moral -- and home. It's probably the -- it's probably. The easiest soldering collaborative. Is over there kind of tell mills they're falls and -- and if your goal is to really fill up the whole. And you'll more -- and there. Never have too much sauter. Now this I was going to drive there Andy how are you gonna actually push that down inside we're gonna read sheep to slaughter this. -- becomes how this will hold solder will work for okay and that's pretty full until beloved. So an hour and just run it heat the sauter and then shove this all the way in go to an estimate that really the best connection. They can just kind fields around funeral and pull that back. And what we're gonna do is -- is gonna read this ought to pull there. And it gets hot below the bottom -- pushed -- all the way down. And -- clean that up. Well that's physically -- the push and pull up and at a discount for help sonera make it nice and pretty that's filled with their for a second become nice and solid okay."

" All right perfect so now the next and we have to do this deal with the grounds that it I'll stick out a clamp I'm -- the ground here and."

" And what I'll do is that on the backside of every RCA connector. You're gonna notice in a little hole on there. That little hole is perfect for running a grounding wire through it. Or rent is pushed that grounding wire directly through that hole okay. Well the way through pull all the way through there and around wrapper around. Just like that. Iraq and around connector. And that's not really what we're doing for the connection reasons is the -- place so we -- gadget one of the great little tricks. And what we'll do is latest back and clamped. Now you're gonna notice there's always dirty wire over here that doesn't matter were cut off and secularist he's just focusing on right outside the whole way here exactly in -- cover goals of full -- as much as humanly possible okay. So we're gonna do. Kind of hold next to the medal here we want to slaughtered to suck him. To that wire. So that -- then the wire there. And why does little bit more violence like that at a little bit. You know. And it -- nice schools whose pattern and outside the perfect all right so register about the access right now we have to cut auto accident it. And will do that this could take the wire. Pull back around. And then take a little steps here. And really cut it all the way off. -- and I -- really. And now we got all that working on it and we're just gonna force the cable down and put that bend and -- we talked about. So now we have is we have this really. Nice big and there and that's and they are strain relief for everything there aren't. Now your analysis see you need to cramped cram this down of course and the best way to do that is to push. The the actual center can. -- here as we can work around. And it puts that underneath. And and then after -- and anything can kind of crap -- it close like that. Cram it down. -- close. Seems like a bit of work but. The clever for that is really expensive. And."

" Some you can do yourself a new rules by I don't know any real professional and actually does. Own Nat crimp -- to be honest with you yeah sympathizes with the of that way exactly. -- In home and it senay is like everything up right we slide in everything up bonnets."

" And screw it all down."

" Now when I like to do in this kind of means effort to put together and I'll take it. And twisted just -- how locks and emplacements this'll last a little bit longer okay and then let's not forget we just give a nice little. Tends to -- in there that's a flatten -- of a significant connection sliding in exactly it does the muscles so -- on it. And that's not a connector so I would doesn't like this. Well it depends on the other end. And Atlanta continuity test on threatens to them."

" I think it was completely got a -- to -- what -- test and we're now I'll."

" continuity. The big reason to do this is the make -- one we don't have any shorts and to that everything we solder is actually going where it's supposed to go dark -- go about doing this well the first Democrat to do as Richard turner -- multi meter. And sent to -- continuity sent in -- can't there's a beautiful I -- speaker that's universal symbol and I'll like to start off by just touched them together. And -- and I shall be coming out -- that's an you know you have a good connection okay. At or ngos were basically going to make tests for short first right. The way to test for a short and actually -- have you of them have you hold this connector at their forming. Were renders has for short is right touch the outside sleeve. And consider him. Well relief is good no be as good if it -- to them we did something following got to pull apart and figure out exactly what we did. The next and we have to do is to make sure we have connection number of them so -- human clamp here and you hold them both hands. Oranges attest to the outside shield. And to the outside shield. Perfect town in the next that's just test the center pin to the center pin. And we have perfect town. So we made a -- all right this is ready to go aren't excellent know what about some other cables that we didn't get to cover today say ask me just cable was VHS is kind of the consumer term. And professional world we considered YCE okay there -- interchangeable is just kind of two different ways to -- same thing. And you know that's the four pin connector it's really good for the video the problem is when you're making those cables. They're just really hard to make the really annoying and their four times harder than an audio cable. And I just don't lightning can -- so it's somebody who brought to your local -- does bias and this is similar to spend the money you spend the money on anti don't have to buy a monster cable because that's VHS. Actually send this looming it's information on two -- as components information on two other -- That means that no matter how crummy your cable this it's still gonna be really could signal just as long as you get the short as you possibly can. And then don't. -- in the big bundles -- run all the way down let it run all the way back okay."

" Now how about something like you know I have to admit. I did spin like 150 dollars on a monster dvi cable was the only one in the store and you know it'll play the -- neutrinos kind of you know. But is that something you can build yourself not really into many tens to a campaign's estimate tends to want to --"

" Pain is definitely machine practice I mean you really have to have in automated machine put those together and over the same things like Macy might as well right exactly. And quality of the -- don't have to buy a monster cable in fact. If you go to places like -- and stuff and you can get an HDMI cable you dvi cable engaged him HDMI to dvi cables. And you'll spend less than ten bucks forum. And there's no quality difference because it's a digital signal right is that this not as susceptible to interference or anything like that and we get long links and we're talking and anything over twenty feet. You start to notice that we're talking we're talking -- cables less than 56 feet here."

" And then he feels that way about jobs like optical cable and digital optical cables I mean we really don't see any need to go monster there right."

" Right this is lights it's just light and in a light goes really far without any help or -- anything like that. And I'll be honest with you put together tons of professional days. And they go buy the cheapest pay cable it possibly can because we'll never know the difference now what about C speaker cable. Well this is the one time I really think monster cable did it right and there's no way I can be done. I mean technically it is an amazing wire. They do this they do basically they have this really tight stranding this almost at a 45 degree angles and I got this thing here yeah. We did anything notices that the beat the band going across that as a room. Really sharp angle and that's what you really want because the more bending -- The more surface area of copper you have and it's really great for your -- basis. Now here's the other great thing to do if you go to a store and grab yourself a -- monster cable. And then look at the stranding and then walked on -- and look for someone gage cable look at the strain that that you can see right through the jacket to find that right. And look for close to 45 degree angles you can. And that's going to be really comparable okay and if you were doing your place and you really want to be anal about it. Use -- monster cable for yourself what Burton and use when it off brands for your surround speakers and your left -- right -- chance it was a little bit of money save yourself some money even then. Now is there there's also higher grade cable in this monster cable here as far as net do we need to go a step further to an even better cable or is this pretty much where want to stay. This is pretty much free want to stay the only time that I would say even want to go into the -- Brian Cabell. Is -- you're doing a central audio system in your house where you have a 10200 feet speaker runs and you decide to put speakers all the way in the back into your house and stuff like that. This could be considered the most if you want the best quality however most of the speakers it's amounts into your wall. Have really quite a crummy response so you're not gonna gain anything by it so if you're gonna put monster cable in your wall. Make sure you get custom speakers made for your wall aren't sounds good I think if there is still pretty much everything here can you I had already has Allison how amount. Yeah -- help over there are Salem a lot of money --"

" Yeah final long want to thank jinx dot com for supporting system we want to search for years now if you want to say 5%. -- that Communist coupon code system. Both have great teachers they have sweat shirts hats stickers you name it they got it challenges -- thing for gamers pizza."

" To Kevin Davidson had it built Joe Camel's narrowed and it integrate those into my personal home theater system here so David. What do we need to what are the best signals to -- it cables. Right the best tip."

" to use. HDMI for your digital signals out there what we're just getting started shooting -- okay well first let's talk about a little bit of management down here okay you'll notice it's you have a receiver -- this is where your power and higher speakers for my guess we're talking component. Management here -- were we have to go through component before we get the cable -- And you'll notice you have all your speaker connections any speaker connections here are a big source of interference -- audio and video signals is a lot of wattage going on there. So if you put your receiver all the way at the bottom you're gonna get. Almost no crossover cables or audio -- seen over the speaker cables and vice Versa right okay is really really nice and clean coming off -- it. And then with the the components on top of that and of course TV on the top of them. Things is a notices that down now that we're moving into that they cable side of things is that we need to think about power. Okay because we kept power cables and thankfully. Most your components down here I have all power on the right -- I'm however -- he's got power on the left side. And we need to do -- well we need to get that cable over to the right side as fast as possible okay say just straight over strayed over perfectly straight -- don't trying to do angles or anything like that okay perfectly straight. And then you gonna join -- street in downtown okay okay don't like this and -- join it was all the other cables -- really nice tight bundle and run that over to a power strip far off. And any access from your power chords you just wrap up and -- over there -- Now I notice it it looks like the power gamers on the right side and I did it videos on the left side is that a coincidence -- way. A little manufacture really smart about this because they hit the power supplies over about it power cable. And then put the audio and video on the circuitry on the other side -- and he'll replace box is a notice usually a very large empty section of the chassis you just to keep that distance as far apart as possible says and is going to really help us with the cable management side of things and because the next step we have to deal with is right and -- audio and video. What they don't notice it around audio videos that. -- people will very quickly want to go straight from here straight to there. Don't want to do that we have to have a little little link in this case -- and here's why. If I run cables that angles. There altar and eventually -- okay and her across that this very shallow actually usually I say. And that makes a large bubble of interference right around it is is gradually builds up answers sinner and gradually dissipates what what's the best way to manage that. Right on your cables and ninety degree angles and they don't -- perpendicular to each other exactly because there and it is very small bubble you you pretty much it's a lesser of two -- solicitude as a cable from across right let's work with and try to make as in the little impact as possible okay the fact in the professional world that isn't called high bars which are put on the back to Iraq's so that the cables come straight out go to these type bars and then. That's they used to keep everything in ninety degrees. Can't access it which is really nice. And I mean that's company really organize everything get on your cable's move around well put your work it's -- cables okay sounds good but you know animal makes you at least make one problem. Try to screen out."

" So David has six."

" That's fully managed to. Build every single cable in the home theaters to minus one. My -- went as well right here I've built myself actually we'll see it does actually work -- way up. So a case tonight with the philosophy behind what you just are those who lives of ties lot of cables. You know put together what's --"

" Well this is doing that that killed as we talked about where we don't run any cable at a diagonal angle rights we come straight off the back of the device rate down."

" A straight along a large bundles you know directly on top here okay now you notice that what's happening is that anything's going into it. Comes into it directly in line with that components jacks are -- and again this is to minimize you know interference exactly. And you'll notice there's not and the order of the components in Iraq it's in the order of where the connectors are on the components. Right and also I see we've done is they keep here's here's the power connectors right here and there are going down you know straight line. But that this thing is like that the television the power connectors over here just stroll along with straight down with the rest of the power connectors exactly. Okay so you know what can -- how much time who was involved with making office. I took me about two hours start to finish with all the cable management of this how how about for someone who's new tennis. I'd probably say about three hours of they have and so on and experience about four hours at that point four hours is okay so. Hello for that that home theater enthusiast who kind of what's you know taking this step further what else can -- do. Well that's and they can do is get a power conditioner and move -- when the really good devices out there right like get like a power strip her. Can -- a little bit different different power strip has basically. This -- just sends. Multiple power out of multiples power source and get multiple plugs on -- surge protector and surge protector Ellis going to do. Is protected in full to just when they go higher than 11 anonymous or lower exact okay. And UPS's is gonna protect you from going lower. A power conditioner does that it protects against the high and the low but I also helpful for -- lobby interference is coming downed power lines themselves see here okay so. How much does it cost to bid to build all these cables for Hogan system. Well we use really high and connectors across the board moved so we're looking at about seventy dollars for all the connectors and all the cables okay."

" If you don't have the tools."

" The told those a little bit is that you are 4250 bucks for all the tools plus the cables okay let's let's throw monster cables and says I was second house well. But apparently -- if this dvd player who apparently bucks for this cable home box about sixty bucks for this receivers about 300 dollars wow okay so. You know obviously it's better to know its ability -- where we where we buy these materials. Well probably the best place for you to go is no market tech dot com and they carry all the cables connectors the tools all one place."

" Okay so let's so let's turn everything around fired up and see if these cables actually work especially in mind -- questionable yeah. Okay David so obviously can see the picture is beautiful but you know fight screwed up somewhere in the cable making process. What would the picture look like well is check to see interference on this kernel horizontal band being. Or the you know it. Waves or speckled something like that you but the biggest culprit is gonna be bleeding -- okay you're gonna see on -- gonna bleed over and other colors red -- by far the worst of all as perfect example this this scene is completely read exactly and read love skin -- yes they start to see the red -- and over to jar -- Natalie Portman -- those variables. Well David thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us in the meantime it's -- just -- Chairs chairs that."

" have -- all live all you need to get started and -- so let's on the money. All the links and never ran -- article head over to system dot pork on governor post I'm Daniel -- The next that's."

" If you're a home theatre system you probably spent thousands of dollars on your equipment. What does that that much of most likely going to spend a little bit more and by some high end monster cables like -- so today we're gonna explain everything you need to know about a month to hide. And how to build yourself. At a fraction of the cost I'm Kevin Rose I'm Daniel are welcome to system."

" Said -- it isn't not canned humor he's actually out -- and more these high end audio video cables but this is David Randolph was a broadcast engineers been doing is a little over twelve years now. In the time experience doing this. Oh yeah about five years ago light stopped counting at 500 miles of cables. That's the law how it until I think people look up so we need you because we're talking about -- cables today and I just went out and what did the best by the who bought these two cables and 120. Dollars for two monster cables this seems a little pricey is there a way that we can actually build these suspect for less money. Absolutely I mean you're looking at just what you need to hook up just a dvd player to TV. I can outfit your entire entertainment center and everything in it for less than the cost of that allow. Perfect sounds good to me but I want to go through some of the stuff doesn't I know one consumers go on the -- of these packages they put them over there's a lot of marketing terms on here some of the seems like a little bit of marketing hype to me. But let's talk about each one of these terms and then you can tell me what you're gonna create a -- match that. So starting off here first thing 24 karat gold connectors now gold obviously I hear it's like the best mental everybody uses it why are using here is a necessary."

" Well we have gold is by far the best conductor of electricity I mean that's why NASA uses and on everything. But at the end of the day you have a copper cable through ten sauter to a gold connector right and it's really the weakest link in the chain is your ten. So having gold you can nothing for this -- it's just like having ten all the way through the whole thing."

" I say Zola so they're going to gold I mean there's a single that it uses B connectors in that doesn't make sense to me it's like a digital connection might union that it's more marketing than anything else it's more market and it looks real pretty and you could tell your friends I've got gold right. -- okay next one here the split tip center -- What's out I noticed that each when these pins on the outside actually has split right on the center. Well."

" That's one thing at a monster does that's really greatest -- its patent technology violent. And what they've done is they've made the end of the connector so that it spreads apart and pushes against the outside of the actual -- connections and inclusion in excellent we can do the same thing with the parent needle nose pliers just -- in the end a little bit. To give an oval shapes that we put it and it squeezes."

" Backed around I seasoning get -- that happy with the new of those present -- okay now how about does silver solder so that's what soldering here in the gun so -- they -- copper silver gold now."

" You mean so I mean the best -- math course going to be the sober now and then bombs so. There -- a little bit better but we're gonna make up for with a better quality cable we're gonna make up for with better cable links. And better connectors in general nice sounds good now this when you double ceiling a 100% -- 90% copper so this is two levels -- shielding on the cable correct. Correct what they basically have is they have a solid shield around it which is good for general. -- only stopping any interference around certain then -- have rated she'll on the outside of that this British aliens calibrated for being about 35 homes which is what's gonna affect them. And they put that they hope to capture all that and than anything else falls over the hope to capture by the foil okay -- cables used the same thing. The only difference this is that our shield in on the upper incites the boo -- the little calibrated just a little bit closer to sixty Hertz and sixty -- rather than sending -- semifinal. So we get a little more coverage on the outside then they knew on the inside -- and it's all about stopping at that first chance to get."

" Excellent all right so this when you're always confuse me Patton did gas injected dialect or no what is this gas injected I was called out. Well basically the person that electric is the foam that separates the center conductor from the shield -- on the outside it's okay so is that let me -- of the -- and senator that's right on sun and -- caught -- little -- see you on the -- isn't that is right little white stuff right."

" And they Jesus really grade is very uniform all that. We're using we're using you know get in a gas injected but it's not done the same way -- so it's very close but when monster cable goes to test all the cables. They're testing in their specs against the cable we're using today on -- and you know. Ours is that the key reference everyone bills -- equipment around it so rather than try to make something else we're gonna make an identical to what. All the professionals use and so."

" Yes what is it professionals -- this is what you would use the cable the -- cable that we're buying is what you would use and production facilities like this standard broadcast quality cable you know any any professional environment any long runs an environment with lots of interference from use the same cable excellent okay now the last thing here high -- finally find stranded copper conductors. So what they're referring to here and that's just the center conductor right."

" Less -- a conductor and you know the you know if an audio cables as a strand of thinner conductors. And this is the quality of the copper and at the end of the day others and impurities and copper and what have -- there's always gonna be a level. Com. It's a very good marketing term because they don't actually tell you. How puritanism just telling you it's high purity I -- a case that is -- marketing them as a little bit of marketing and our cables have high purity as well okay."

" And then the last years -- is there anything we can do with these cables that go above and beyond kind of what monster is doing. Absolutely I mean. The key is that the number one problem monster cable is that when you buying them. You buy them in four foot eight foot twelve foot 25 -- links I can never get the right but I always have like a mess of cables and -- back that is really wound up in I don't know what to do with and so while those."

" means that you have back there who are creating huge antennas for interference. That's the number one problem -- winding no whining and there's the you know no winding no court really know communal bunching it up no -- draping across other cables. A year your key thing is to hit the signal from your device. To the other device as fast and straight path as you possibly can -- not going out and actually measuring exactly the businesses that you need and and cutting to spec. The precise distances you don't have to have an extra looping or anything else exactly you're gonna put the one foot six inches. Of cable and goes between the two you'll never find -- cable any story go to."

" Okay so what. We like overall lot of people wonder what do broadcast engineers think a monster cable I mean is this a high quality cable or you always do it making your own -- in a -- he is this. I mean what you do and I'm on the home you're creating your own stuff right. But and is is this article is concerned what you think. You'll never."

" But I mean they're great I mean you'll never find us -- of production environment because no one -- I'm I'm spend that much money that profession that price really is the price okay. If I had a person that really had no electronics skill and couldn't will this clutter in our and I just don't deal them. I would send them out and buy a monster cables okay. But at there was a person I was willing to spend about an hour two hours around I would definitely teach him out of -- make your own camp."

" Nice well let's let's puppet tools let's make some cables sounds like -- Arts are -- make our first video cable now would have cable itself we have all the connectors and also the tools that we're gonna be using saw I guess we can stop by had to scuttle the tools. Right that the first -- uses a collapse we'll stripper and."

" Bomb in this case for using a generic one but done that's because I am new palette and stunning come in. That's my personal favorite and that feels really good. Bomb the next full we're using here is a set of clippers and mom in this case I really like canard -- first -- also makes a good set for -- And then we just have some standard time diagonal cutters you know got small size and medium size he's a small size for -- up the little. Extraneous wires and medium size for it -- straight through the cable okay. Then we have connectors for using C 53 can -- connectors -- I imagine this is a ton of different connectors out there how did you land unease. Well. I really like building cable I really like canard connectors and when you start kind of cross check in a mall. These canard connectors work with just built in cable okay that's when the -- there's because there is a thousand different types of cable there's a thousand different types of connectors. You've gotta match one with the other so if you're shopping anyone you know very from this list. You're gonna have to do some homework and really think it out and physical -- it is and is a gold plated so they're gonna look pretty and you'll never see them again is. Now parts of this actual car -- connector this is at the center Hampton and then you have a sleeve. Now listener -- what actually slides up through the -- connector and make that connection for the -- And the -- as well actually grasp the cable squeezes them around and holds the cable connection -- together holds the ground to the outside of the connector. And finish is awful thing makes it look really pretty. I going to let up cable here well this is -- and 1694. -- cable. This is kind of my favorite this is used to a lot of broadcast operations. And when they use that they use and -- for serial digital transmission fees which they used for very long links we're talking 500 plus feet per cable. And I figured if it's good enough for serial digital broadcast it's good enough for our little you know home entertainment center and write them I guess that's entry to decision exactly have to have a red green and blue because of Veronica component cable we want to know which ones -- and agreeing which owns a blue --"

" Everything left Mecca for table. I think you got anything to when you create these things right -- that in your characters -- Now I say yeah and I see here we've got some cable what -- Vegas six foot you will start with just a good -- six foot cam must okay so I guess wears out by stripping the -- right."

" Right for -- use this -- a stripper here. And want to keep things are gonna notice is that when you first get to coax stripper. It has to be set up for that particular cable cut the okay and if you look on the backside of any collects stripper. They usually includes allowance to all the adjustments -- this even on that she goes they have that. So what's an artisan there's these little gauges here these little you know adjustments groups and what that does is that inside the connector there are two blades."

" This is just the depth."

" The first -- specifically cut all the way through everything. And just exposed just the thing conductor but it's -- right into the -- right -- thinner copper all right secondly is just a little bit further back and that's is going to really move the insulation so exposed the shielding okay so get through the like the classes like -- that's going around the outside exactly. So we part of it does -- want to -- go ahead and I'm just strip the cable here and get it ready to go okay. So Obama's plan put this all back together. And there's always that in town and outside and an inside and the outside is where you're gonna have to put -- cable through. And when I'm making an album RCA's I like to -- just a little bit extra help trim this off later detonated is that trim the outside rights and don't you can always cut it off you can add more. So -- spent. I usually three or four you'll fill the blade cut through. When you go through you want full rotation back okay what this does is it does the final cut and really helps clean the cut up. Now the most common mistake that most people make. Is that they just yank it off to make it on I think I just couldn't do probably the exact same thing and that just also played. Going to pay 3040 bucks for this fully -- to last a while so you pick it up and open -- kind of dragged off for it. And returned to us first take the cable. Twist it and pull off. And there's our center conductor physically until nice and clean there's little no no little mix on matter anything that is that was the first then others and a second title a bit further back right right there's little second cut right there."

" And it's a little harder to get off so I usually grab the big -- there and I was kind of -- it. And wiggle it. See just want to take up that outside casing they riots and you don't want him so much that's who actually -- shielding sketches occasionally has months of that impact as possible okay."

" And that's my general Islam."

" Perfect I'll the next thing is we need to trim the center conductor to exact point though is exactly there how are you want to come off the the end here."

" It completely depends on the connector you're working with my general suggestions I tell people you know figured out."

" Probably the easiest way and it eagle look at the website to have drawings and trying to master it."

" But my little trick that take the connector. And I laid up against the wire. And it's gonna push down a missile caller hears from slight to slightly anything that you. And if you look at the connector. You can start to see where -- Americans going to be. And the last time mastered -- it's Ryan about this'll take mark okay good rough -- something like that we can start pushing and find out what works best for you know how we can -- you cut it too short -- too long how can you tell them well wants to -- the Senate can --"

" You won't here click okay so you look at that snapped this that are gonna snap into place exactly errors too long."

" This won't slide all the way down longer enough and it's fueling around -- Tell that that's kind of years you know fitness and after you can't figure out the system from that connector. Then you're good to go to there's no go back into this again though right because the the connectors completely sealed that connectors completely sealed there's no backing up. Fact that I like to tell people you know after you start the project your first time you're gonna probably lose one or two connectors to scan everything prepped me the dreaded. Which isn't a big deal you know couple bucks if it happens and much to save it's worth. So. I've got -- measurements. And it's just about right or I want it isn't good enough you know good margin of her -- and and and usually it's we have enough to work okay. So the next I have to do is put want these send her hands on."

" These are bands are really small and I can't and is -- Boston carpet."

" So if you can don't do it over carpet because you'll still lose them and stuff abominable the minds of -- bad -- And easy not easy to slide it over the senator -- Push it down as far as it'll go and pick up your Kemper's. Now on a -- there still noticed that on the -- side there's a small little hole kind of looks like a mistake this you know. No this is actually for Clinton summer -- okay. And what you're gonna do. You open a competent and you -- is senate pin and all the way and push -- that little sleeve and in the Easter pinching down. And then squeeze at all Alicia Paris that's observers particularly close gets the connection is today there is no connection to -- on a pretty good and I'm gonna come apart okay so you have this -- the -- is adequate to really solidified this connector so what that there is really does is editing groove right there so -- was connecting to take a solid connection right you're gonna hear a little clinic who feel little color -- in place just locks in place okay and that's -- you know we have a good connection. Now the next he -- to do is we have to come make room as we shove this down we want this shielding begins much around the outside as possible okay. So we have to do is just cut peeled back to seal him. Now we're caught til I'm back the braided steel and not the foil seal."

" Can -- the foil -- go inside the connector. And liberating feeling coming around outside of the connector -- just to make a really good connection more metal on metal is always the best thing when it comes to connectors and now I sort of forgotten one important step here with which is really important."

" Asleep. If you don't put this Levon and you put that connector on you've ruined connector you gotta start okay. So remember puts us live on sometimes you need to do it before you actually -- that back stay here for details there -- exactly."

" But if you forget just."

" Push it on and call in okay but it make sure you remember that time especially in a second connector -- can't she get back the other way. So after we've done maps -- slightly on. Amateur and notices that you're gonna get a little click out of it and to take a little bit force to come and get right in there. And you're gonna fill it click America. -- and there and -- on a pretty good and we're gonna just about right. Now we -- is -- that -- back over."

" You can make his even as we can't her fingers. And has kept pushing up there and get."

" That color as close to this the and placed on -- okay there are literally take the sleeves. Slide it over. As our external Clinton connector here so we're gonna take a final cramped here. And you'll notice it's a crap always has -- side with the screw and without scrutiny. When you're doing a final craft. You do decide with out discriminate towards the connector. How does that differ from dream the other way well that's -- we'll hit the connector or not making crimp all the it's just a mechanical flaw all members he's gotta remember to do with that it. And it is really just slide it up. And sit there and crap -- takes a little bit of force. It now. You ratcheted usually two cramps depend on the link to the caller who could you get this little you know old that he happens."

" And I command -- pretty good -- And when ideas and clearly relating and make sure you get the exact same angle I have before. And -- again. That way kind of nice and pretty clean. Now have a really strong connector it's rated for up to 25 pounds of force before pull off."

" And it's -- again. Okay it's an artist we have to finish it up a little -- doing it right we're gonna do is that affirmative component cable we're gonna assume that this is your red green and blue cable -- Let's go ahead as they were doing the green. You know really just sit there. And I take camel cut off about an inch to me this is just an identifier. Now. Unfortunately this time effort."

" Got to put it on always happens and so this -- slide it over the other end of the still open. Working all the way down the table to the other side that's the benefit of remember in the first connector but don't forget on the second best."

" So what about the size of this -- to be what are you looking for here mean. I've seen it varies you can give -- an extremely large size -- too but then how far can actually shrink down --"

" So yeah yeah half Santa's gonna recorder and -- you know the you do the math and -- that -- I want to get as close as possible because that we don't have treat it as much. And it'll stay stronger because the more you shrink it the more fragile becomes more -- becomes. So the closing at the better off you are there now when you shrink and -- stuff either using heat gun was really expensive trick. Or you do kind of you know -- later -- industries lighter okay. Gently -- it up and call it done earlier and that's it."

" That's your that's your video cable now you could use this cable for component video. Com or composite video. If -- reason for components you just gotta make it three times I know what the obviously. When easel for component that you can actually he's afraid he is well exactly it's full full rating back photos of this back fully up to spec port component HDR it. So is it lets me go out on a cable sounds good seats. That a -- new tools we have the multi -- the soldering iron in the solder sucker and then we've also added some RCA connectors in some audio cable. With the regulators to be --"

" Oh look and are we -- on nine the F -- work just as well you need your hands on -- just -- crappy system. My personal preferences in a phone lines that case it."

" Well -- about he had the cable itself and doesn't there's a lot thinner normally when you're looking at took body regular speaker wire it's the so much thicker than. This why why is open."

" Well when you're looking -- speaker wire you gotta think evidence you don't higher voltage and the content on cable you need to have less resistance for higher voltage."

" But when mister -- low voltage is like audio cables analog cable specifically. If you have too much copper there the signal kind gets you know more noise and interference and it. And it actually cause some resistance in the cable or anything so when professional -- is this how many is this -- in huge bundle and run up racks and hundreds of feet. And it's good enough for them it's good enough for us far short little U2 and three for an application right we should say this is just between component to component we're not talking about actually ever running -- this out the speakers are -- like that absolutely not to be extremely disappointed if you did."

" All right so let's let go to these aren't what the first I have to do is remove this --"

" Now I'm not talked about earlier about not using a nine for blade or anything like that."

" Let me -- with the idea I IT here. One of the heat things to think about is that the stripper for this that he wants but 4050 bucks and I say you know ways -- couple few months ago right. And what you do is basically taking utility knife in your lives you know face you know with the blade facing up and -- cable on it."

" And very carefully and a good thing you know but if figure that later in. Put it probably the very carefully. No -- just push in a little bit of pressure on that and just role in the cable over it's just a little it very carefully remove your thumb. You look like you know -- a couple times trust me. Does is still recommend actually getting a stripper and doing the right way and we don't recommend it but this is a way to -- happily around you can do it."

" Rise if you're stuck okay now sometimes now under the thumb way just don't quite cut all the way through movements they just can't come back in just. Push it and then finish to cut Mary ago. There is so you pull that up what exposing well what exposes that this has three wires and then Annie a foil around isn't ever basically just. Pull off the foil we don't need if this part that's for most of."

" First part of insulation from this whole thing all of the wire runs through -- foil -- out all three of wires and here. But an RCA only has two -- But there wires really for those high end professional."

" They use you know big connect easily huge quarter inch or an excel are we don't use an innocent all home devices are -- the gadget."

" So the first thing we have to do is takeoff want to wires and you think well. Why not have the one with little -- on the outside and it and then not cut and then cut off the one without threat. Well at candidate -- really not causing any insulation has just been short season. Add the problem is is that if -- cut this off. And -- this exposed. I have this potential amount of metal here that's gonna short off against you know either the ground or something now the narrative. And that's not causing more fair."

" So okay so what I do as I sit there and I goes far up the tables I can't -- And I cut out as much of that -- as possible it's -- And that's basically it's just exposes the red wire and ground that okay and this case. Now the next I have to do is take -- connector and a ship them to be you know fully assembled. And his cam twist them apart if you can't twist it out is gonna apparently those pension on and it'll pull apart just fine for applicant. Now this mistake and I I said -- on video analysts say it again. If you forget to put -- him on if you'll say so many curse -- And swear so much that she just you won't know what to -- with -- first have to put that on for Paris you don't you're really screw. And actually have to do this you know start to -- point to these wires because they're very rough blanks. And they let you do is basically take a connector and you can measure up by guy. And what you're going force -- to I have all this white go below the south like caller this is where we're gonna -- to hold us together get it. Your first impression would be to cut that -- exact. -- link and put them there we want a little bit -- in that wire."

" Get a little player it'll play that way component cable little bits get a little more forgiving in August differences."

" So where is -- in there and I see this come all the way down and we're oh. There should be good. -- put my finger in there and cut that off. And discuss flying across the room but hey you know and works yeah. What we're gonna do here is gonna kind of you know drive that it again and realized that Obama have about that much -- That's pretty that we can work and that's within reason right there okay. What he's gonna notice is never saw that and first and numerous items around outside look at force under the similar to strip off the end -- I have -- teeple strippers here. They spring but you know I think the four books that work on my response. The thought just a little bit of it that so you -- that expose what this not very much I'd probably say little more than maintenance okay. And -- twist it really -- as -- as we can do is denying us clean twist on. And an excellent news for antenna wouldn't well I don't use a."

" Third hand. I use this huge clamp this clamp has a little overkill for a lot of people but for me doing all their long. It was an investment forming hundred bucks to a point that's so it's Clinton would take is exactly -- so why tinian in the cable. Well if you're -- into the cable this what you're doing is just kind -- slaughters suck up on almost -- groups."

" And as -- created a nice solid center to push into the rest of the furniture feels about the empty spaces that is exactly makes it more to a solid core which is definitely worth it."

" And alternative take this -- here. -- tested out. And Hamas and every year and -- is gonna clamp it in just kind of help out."

" Has that down. If your attention on the cable don't pension so tight that it breaks the connection because. That's gonna cost a lot of issues just not have to hold in place is not Apple plays because we're just -- take a little bit -- just touch it took about it. And -- to do here. As caretaker soldering iron. Take --"

" At repressive anti heat the wire."

" And put dishonor to the top of it. One I think real tricks do that is kind of touched the -- just a little bit and hit the wire it's a little bit faster."

" And doesn't think much as you can tell I'm this is who grew its bit to prevent and the area can just beautifully RA."

" And now we're gonna do in his room go ahead and put -- ends and -- sent us honest and a -- okay but before -- did that hours and it hit my ground wire and really twist it really tight. I'm just help -- with mat later on yeah. So now the next thing is is that put this into the clamp and do the work. A lot of people say you know client from the out size some tissue clamped from the center pan. My rule of thumb is is that you should always clamp around threats."

" The reason for that is that he clan Austin -- you're gonna put additional pressure on you don't want to clamp around the house audio book that pressure on it. And to clamp in the color you can actually shift. The Senate panel on it if you -- but here it's usually best area."

" It's trips the strips Leo the threats -- little bit but not enough to matter okay. Or do is kind clamp that in just look just a little bit. Third -- work okay if you're using and one of those will keep both their hands. It's best actually clamp that."

" Onto the Senate hand and then put another clam up here with pop. Because you're never gonna kinda connection just one little Peter clip right."

" So the next thing we're have to do a threat to drop some -- and that's our whole. How in the world and oh very carefully. Basically sit there and we're just gonna kind of hold our -- Annan to vary."

" the whole. And it's kind of you know. Animal slaughter truck and haul it -- to moral -- and home. It's probably the -- it's probably. The easiest soldering collaborative. Is over there kind of tell mills they're falls and -- and if your goal is to really fill up the whole. And you'll more -- and there. Never have too much sauter. Now this I was going to drive there Andy how are you gonna actually push that down inside we're gonna read sheep to slaughter this. -- becomes how this will hold solder will work for okay and that's pretty full until beloved. So an hour and just run it heat the sauter and then shove this all the way in go to an estimate that really the best connection. They can just kind fields around funeral and pull that back. And what we're gonna do is -- is gonna read this ought to pull there. And it gets hot below the bottom -- pushed -- all the way down. And -- clean that up. Well that's physically -- the push and pull up and at a discount for help sonera make it nice and pretty that's filled with their for a second become nice and solid okay."

" All right perfect so now the next and we have to do this deal with the grounds that it I'll stick out a clamp I'm -- the ground here and."

" And what I'll do is that on the backside of every RCA connector. You're gonna notice in a little hole on there. That little hole is perfect for running a grounding wire through it. Or rent is pushed that grounding wire directly through that hole okay. Well the way through pull all the way through there and around wrapper around. Just like that. Iraq and around connector. And that's not really what we're doing for the connection reasons is the -- place so we -- gadget one of the great little tricks. And what we'll do is latest back and clamped. Now you're gonna notice there's always dirty wire over here that doesn't matter were cut off and secularist he's just focusing on right outside the whole way here exactly in -- cover goals of full -- as much as humanly possible okay. So we're gonna do. Kind of hold next to the medal here we want to slaughtered to suck him. To that wire. So that -- then the wire there. And why does little bit more violence like that at a little bit. You know. And it -- nice schools whose pattern and outside the perfect all right so register about the access right now we have to cut auto accident it. And will do that this could take the wire. Pull back around. And then take a little steps here. And really cut it all the way off. -- and I -- really. And now we got all that working on it and we're just gonna force the cable down and put that bend and -- we talked about. So now we have is we have this really. Nice big and there and that's and they are strain relief for everything there aren't. Now your analysis see you need to cramped cram this down of course and the best way to do that is to push. The the actual center can. -- here as we can work around. And it puts that underneath. And and then after -- and anything can kind of crap -- it close like that. Cram it down. -- close. Seems like a bit of work but. The clever for that is really expensive. And."

" Some you can do yourself a new rules by I don't know any real professional and actually does. Own Nat crimp -- to be honest with you yeah sympathizes with the of that way exactly. -- In home and it senay is like everything up right we slide in everything up bonnets."

" And screw it all down."

" Now when I like to do in this kind of means effort to put together and I'll take it. And twisted just -- how locks and emplacements this'll last a little bit longer okay and then let's not forget we just give a nice little. Tends to -- in there that's a flatten -- of a significant connection sliding in exactly it does the muscles so -- on it. And that's not a connector so I would doesn't like this. Well it depends on the other end. And Atlanta continuity test on threatens to them."

" I think it was completely got a -- to -- what -- test and we're now I'll."

" continuity. The big reason to do this is the make -- one we don't have any shorts and to that everything we solder is actually going where it's supposed to go dark -- go about doing this well the first Democrat to do as Richard turner -- multi meter. And sent to -- continuity sent in -- can't there's a beautiful I -- speaker that's universal symbol and I'll like to start off by just touched them together. And -- and I shall be coming out -- that's an you know you have a good connection okay. At or ngos were basically going to make tests for short first right. The way to test for a short and actually -- have you of them have you hold this connector at their forming. Were renders has for short is right touch the outside sleeve. And consider him. Well relief is good no be as good if it -- to them we did something following got to pull apart and figure out exactly what we did. The next and we have to do is to make sure we have connection number of them so -- human clamp here and you hold them both hands. Oranges attest to the outside shield. And to the outside shield. Perfect town in the next that's just test the center pin to the center pin. And we have perfect town. So we made a -- all right this is ready to go aren't excellent know what about some other cables that we didn't get to cover today say ask me just cable was VHS is kind of the consumer term. And professional world we considered YCE okay there -- interchangeable is just kind of two different ways to -- same thing. And you know that's the four pin connector it's really good for the video the problem is when you're making those cables. They're just really hard to make the really annoying and their four times harder than an audio cable. And I just don't lightning can -- so it's somebody who brought to your local -- does bias and this is similar to spend the money you spend the money on anti don't have to buy a monster cable because that's VHS. Actually send this looming it's information on two -- as components information on two other -- That means that no matter how crummy your cable this it's still gonna be really could signal just as long as you get the short as you possibly can. And then don't. -- in the big bundles -- run all the way down let it run all the way back okay."

" Now how about something like you know I have to admit. I did spin like 150 dollars on a monster dvi cable was the only one in the store and you know it'll play the -- neutrinos kind of you know. But is that something you can build yourself not really into many tens to a campaign's estimate tends to want to --"

" Pain is definitely machine practice I mean you really have to have in automated machine put those together and over the same things like Macy might as well right exactly. And quality of the -- don't have to buy a monster cable in fact. If you go to places like -- and stuff and you can get an HDMI cable you dvi cable engaged him HDMI to dvi cables. And you'll spend less than ten bucks forum. And there's no quality difference because it's a digital signal right is that this not as susceptible to interference or anything like that and we get long links and we're talking and anything over twenty feet. You start to notice that we're talking we're talking -- cables less than 56 feet here."

" And then he feels that way about jobs like optical cable and digital optical cables I mean we really don't see any need to go monster there right."

" Right this is lights it's just light and in a light goes really far without any help or -- anything like that. And I'll be honest with you put together tons of professional days. And they go buy the cheapest pay cable it possibly can because we'll never know the difference now what about C speaker cable. Well this is the one time I really think monster cable did it right and there's no way I can be done. I mean technically it is an amazing wire. They do this they do basically they have this really tight stranding this almost at a 45 degree angles and I got this thing here yeah. We did anything notices that the beat the band going across that as a room. Really sharp angle and that's what you really want because the more bending -- The more surface area of copper you have and it's really great for your -- basis. Now here's the other great thing to do if you go to a store and grab yourself a -- monster cable. And then look at the stranding and then walked on -- and look for someone gage cable look at the strain that that you can see right through the jacket to find that right. And look for close to 45 degree angles you can. And that's going to be really comparable okay and if you were doing your place and you really want to be anal about it. Use -- monster cable for yourself what Burton and use when it off brands for your surround speakers and your left -- right -- chance it was a little bit of money save yourself some money even then. Now is there there's also higher grade cable in this monster cable here as far as net do we need to go a step further to an even better cable or is this pretty much where want to stay. This is pretty much free want to stay the only time that I would say even want to go into the -- Brian Cabell. Is -- you're doing a central audio system in your house where you have a 10200 feet speaker runs and you decide to put speakers all the way in the back into your house and stuff like that. This could be considered the most if you want the best quality however most of the speakers it's amounts into your wall. Have really quite a crummy response so you're not gonna gain anything by it so if you're gonna put monster cable in your wall. Make sure you get custom speakers made for your wall aren't sounds good I think if there is still pretty much everything here can you I had already has Allison how amount. Yeah -- help over there are Salem a lot of money --"

" Yeah final long want to thank jinx dot com for supporting system we want to search for years now if you want to say 5%. -- that Communist coupon code system. Both have great teachers they have sweat shirts hats stickers you name it they got it challenges -- thing for gamers pizza."

" To Kevin Davidson had it built Joe Camel's narrowed and it integrate those into my personal home theater system here so David. What do we need to what are the best signals to -- it cables. Right the best tip."

" to use. HDMI for your digital signals out there what we're just getting started shooting -- okay well first let's talk about a little bit of management down here okay you'll notice it's you have a receiver -- this is where your power and higher speakers for my guess we're talking component. Management here -- were we have to go through component before we get the cable -- And you'll notice you have all your speaker connections any speaker connections here are a big source of interference -- audio and video signals is a lot of wattage going on there. So if you put your receiver all the way at the bottom you're gonna get. Almost no crossover cables or audio -- seen over the speaker cables and vice Versa right okay is really really nice and clean coming off -- it. And then with the the components on top of that and of course TV on the top of them. Things is a notices that down now that we're moving into that they cable side of things is that we need to think about power. Okay because we kept power cables and thankfully. Most your components down here I have all power on the right -- I'm however -- he's got power on the left side. And we need to do -- well we need to get that cable over to the right side as fast as possible okay say just straight over strayed over perfectly straight -- don't trying to do angles or anything like that okay perfectly straight. And then you gonna join -- street in downtown okay okay don't like this and -- join it was all the other cables -- really nice tight bundle and run that over to a power strip far off. And any access from your power chords you just wrap up and -- over there -- Now I notice it it looks like the power gamers on the right side and I did it videos on the left side is that a coincidence -- way. A little manufacture really smart about this because they hit the power supplies over about it power cable. And then put the audio and video on the circuitry on the other side -- and he'll replace box is a notice usually a very large empty section of the chassis you just to keep that distance as far apart as possible says and is going to really help us with the cable management side of things and because the next step we have to deal with is right and -- audio and video. What they don't notice it around audio videos that. -- people will very quickly want to go straight from here straight to there. Don't want to do that we have to have a little little link in this case -- and here's why. If I run cables that angles. There altar and eventually -- okay and her across that this very shallow actually usually I say. And that makes a large bubble of interference right around it is is gradually builds up answers sinner and gradually dissipates what what's the best way to manage that. Right on your cables and ninety degree angles and they don't -- perpendicular to each other exactly because there and it is very small bubble you you pretty much it's a lesser of two -- solicitude as a cable from across right let's work with and try to make as in the little impact as possible okay the fact in the professional world that isn't called high bars which are put on the back to Iraq's so that the cables come straight out go to these type bars and then. That's they used to keep everything in ninety degrees. Can't access it which is really nice. And I mean that's company really organize everything get on your cable's move around well put your work it's -- cables okay sounds good but you know animal makes you at least make one problem. Try to screen out."

" So David has six."

" That's fully managed to. Build every single cable in the home theaters to minus one. My -- went as well right here I've built myself actually we'll see it does actually work -- way up. So a case tonight with the philosophy behind what you just are those who lives of ties lot of cables. You know put together what's --"

" Well this is doing that that killed as we talked about where we don't run any cable at a diagonal angle rights we come straight off the back of the device rate down."

" A straight along a large bundles you know directly on top here okay now you notice that what's happening is that anything's going into it. Comes into it directly in line with that components jacks are -- and again this is to minimize you know interference exactly. And you'll notice there's not and the order of the components in Iraq it's in the order of where the connectors are on the components. Right and also I see we've done is they keep here's here's the power connectors right here and there are going down you know straight line. But that this thing is like that the television the power connectors over here just stroll along with straight down with the rest of the power connectors exactly. Okay so you know what can -- how much time who was involved with making office. I took me about two hours start to finish with all the cable management of this how how about for someone who's new tennis. I'd probably say about three hours of they have and so on and experience about four hours at that point four hours is okay so. Hello for that that home theater enthusiast who kind of what's you know taking this step further what else can -- do. Well that's and they can do is get a power conditioner and move -- when the really good devices out there right like get like a power strip her. Can -- a little bit different different power strip has basically. This -- just sends. Multiple power out of multiples power source and get multiple plugs on -- surge protector and surge protector Ellis going to do. Is protected in full to just when they go higher than 11 anonymous or lower exact okay. And UPS's is gonna protect you from going lower. A power conditioner does that it protects against the high and the low but I also helpful for -- lobby interference is coming downed power lines themselves see here okay so. How much does it cost to bid to build all these cables for Hogan system. Well we use really high and connectors across the board moved so we're looking at about seventy dollars for all the connectors and all the cables okay."

" If you don't have the tools."

" The told those a little bit is that you are 4250 bucks for all the tools plus the cables okay let's let's throw monster cables and says I was second house well. But apparently -- if this dvd player who apparently bucks for this cable home box about sixty bucks for this receivers about 300 dollars wow okay so. You know obviously it's better to know its ability -- where we where we buy these materials. Well probably the best place for you to go is no market tech dot com and they carry all the cables connectors the tools all one place."

" Okay so let's so let's turn everything around fired up and see if these cables actually work especially in mind -- questionable yeah. Okay David so obviously can see the picture is beautiful but you know fight screwed up somewhere in the cable making process. What would the picture look like well is check to see interference on this kernel horizontal band being. Or the you know it. Waves or speckled something like that you but the biggest culprit is gonna be bleeding -- okay you're gonna see on -- gonna bleed over and other colors red -- by far the worst of all as perfect example this this scene is completely read exactly and read love skin -- yes they start to see the red -- and over to jar -- Natalie Portman -- those variables. Well David thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us in the meantime it's -- just -- Chairs chairs that."

" have -- all live all you need to get started and -- so let's on the money. All the links and never ran -- article head over to system dot pork on governor post I'm Daniel -- The next that's."
