This turntable recordeck grounding wire is available in 1 to 6 meter lengths, using the drop down menu above.  It is made to a very high standard to ensure years of good grounding all connection are soldered.

Connection tags are made from tinned (OFC) oxygen free copper.

Wire: Flexible 20 AWG, 24 x 0.2mm, 0.75mm²

The purpose of a grounding wire on a turntable is to prevent electrical interference, specifically ground loop hum, which is a low-frequency humming noise that can be heard through speakers. This hum is caused by differences in electrical potential between components in an audio system.

Here's how it works:

1. Eliminating Ground Loops: Turntables, especially those with metal parts, can create a difference in voltage between themselves and the amplifier or receiver they're connected to. This creates a ground loop that introduces a humming sound. The grounding wire helps balance the electrical potential by providing a path for excess electrical charge to flow into the ground, preventing the loop.

2. Reducing Interference: Without the grounding wire, you may pick up unwanted noise or hum from nearby electrical equipment or wiring. The grounding wire minimizes this interference, providing clearer, noise-free playback.

3. Signal Clarity: By grounding the turntable, you're ensuring that the electrical signal traveling from the stylus to the amplifier remains as clean as possible, which results in better sound quality.

How It's Used:

• The grounding wire typically comes from the turntable and is connected to a grounding terminal on the amplifier or receiver (labeled "GND").
• This connection channels any stray electrical current safely to the ground, instead of letting it interfere with the audio signal.

In short, the grounding wire ensures the audio signal stays pure and unaffected by electrical noise, which is essential for high-fidelity vinyl playback.
