Oehlbach 1085 Rattle Snake 3
Oehlbach Rattle Snake 3 speaker cable, silver and copper braided in a 2x3 mm² cross-section, for connecting an amplifier to hi-fi speakers.
Description
The Rattle Snake 3 is a speaker cable from Oehlbach, designed to connect an amplifier to a pair of speakers in a hi-fi setup. It belongs to the category of cables designed to carry the audio signal between the amplification stage and the transducers, an often-overlooked link in a stereo system.
Its design is based on a braid combining silver and copper conductors, with a cross-section of 2 x 3 mm² per channel. This type of combination aims to improve signal transmission across the entire spectrum, with particular attention paid to treble and bass frequencies, two areas of the spectrum where conductor quality and geometry can influence sound reproduction.
This cable is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts wishing to fine-tune the link between their amplifier and their speakers, in a classic stereo setup where the aim is to limit losses or alterations to the signal on its final path before sound reproduction.

What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the connectors (spades or banana plugs): loose tightening or oxidised contacts lead to level loss and parasitic noise. Examine the braided sheath along its entire length, particularly at bend points and near the connectors, where the silver/copper braid can weaken with use. Test continuity on each channel to rule out any risk of an internal break invisible to the eye.
