Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable – Versatile 4-Core 2.50 mm² Tour Grade Multicore for Professional Speaker Systems
The Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable is a 4-core, 2.50 mm² multicore speaker cable from the Black Series Tour Grade range. With ultra-pure oxygen-free copper conductors, a flexible matt black PVC jacket, and a compact 10.25 mm overall diameter, it is the lightest and most flexible multicore in the 2.50 mm² conductor range — ideal for bi-amped speaker connections, stereo speaker trunks, and compact two-way looms where handling ease matters as much as signal integrity.
As the official Van Damme distributor for Africa, Surgesound supplies the Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable by the metre and on full reels. For integrators, rental companies, and touring operators across the continent, this cable provides a proven, tour-grade solution for 2-circuit speaker connections where a slim, manageable multicore replaces bulky parallel single runs.
Design and Construction of the Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable
Each of the 4 conductors is built from 50 strands of 0.25 mm bare ultra-pure oxygen-free copper, giving a total cross-sectional area of 2.50 mm² per core. The stranding count and strand diameter are balanced to deliver good flexibility without sacrificing conductor integrity — a construction that handles repeated coiling, uncoiling, and routing through tight cable paths without fatigue.
Individual cores are insulated in colour-coded PVC for fast, error-free identification during termination. The 4 conductors follow the standard Van Damme colour sequence: red, blue, green, and yellow. This consistent colour code across the entire multicore speaker range means your technicians work with the same core identification whether terminating a 4-core or an 8-core cable.
The outer jacket is a flexible PVC composite in matt black (RAL 9005), chosen for on-stage and touring use where a non-reflective, professional appearance is expected. At just 10.25 mm overall diameter, this is the slimmest cable in the 2.50 mm² multicore range — noticeably easier to handle, coil, and dress than the 6-core and 8-core variants. Bend radius is 10× the overall diameter (102.5 mm). Operating temperature range is −20°C to +70°C for static installations and −10°C to +70°C for flexing applications.
Performance and Applications for the Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable
The 2.50 mm² conductor size is the mid-range option in the Van Damme multicore speaker lineup, sitting between the 1.50 mm² lightweight cables and the 4.00 mm² heavy-duty variants. Conductor resistance is 7.65 Ω/km — well suited to the cable runs typically found in small-to-medium venues, theatre installs, and touring rigs where speaker cable lengths stay within 20–30 metres per run.
With 4 cores, this cable supports 2 speaker circuits per run (2 pairs of positive and negative). That makes it the natural choice for bi-amped speaker connections where separate LF and HF feeds travel on a single multicore trunk, stereo speaker pairs fed from a single cable, or compact two-way monitor looms on stage. Terminate with Speakon NL4 connectors for a clean, lockable connection that handles both circuits on a single plug.
The ultra-pure oxygen-free copper conductors ensure transparent signal transmission across the full audio bandwidth. Combined with the low-loss 2.50 mm² conductor cross-section and quality PVC insulation, the Van Damme 4×2.5 Speaker Cable lets your amplifiers deliver their rated power to the loudspeakers without audible degradation from the cable path.
Typical applications include bi-amped speaker connections for passive crossover cabinets, stereo speaker trunks from a single amplifier location, stage monitor looms, theatre and auditorium speaker cabling, installed sound speaker runs in venues and houses of worship, and any 2-circuit speaker application where a compact, flexible multicore is preferred over parallel single cables.
