See a List of Home Theater Cables, Charging Cables, and Wires You May Want to Upgrade

ThereseLeave a comment

With the holidays just having passed, chances are you may have one or two new devices or electronics to plug in, install, or power. When it comes to home theater cables, smartphone cables, and electrical wire, it doesn’t hurt to upgrade every once in a while.

High tech, new, state-of-the-art cables make your daily life easier. You’ll see your smartphone charge faster on the right cable. With a home theater system, you can actually have enough cables to plug everything in. You also have the chance, when you shop with PrimeCables, to purchase adapters so that you’re never struggling without a way to power, sync, or charge.

HDMI cables

Everyone with a 720p TV or above is probably using an HDMI cable to connect something to it. Upgrading your HDMI cables for your home theater system gets you something premium-rated, customizable with different lengths and casings, and different design functions. Something as simple as Ethernet connectivity can mean the world of difference to your TV.

Ethernet cables

A sure way to get faster Internet is to cable it instead of using the standard WiFi connection. Connect and transmit high speed Internet with Ethernet cables, whether it’s for home theater speeds, gaming, computer needs, or otherwise. Ethernet cables remain vital to achieving the fastest possible speeds for the households and corporate environments who need it most.

USB cables

Thousands of devices use USB cables but some are built better than others. Sync and charge smartphone USB cables are a popular category but it’s important to have premium built USB connections that work with all devices. If your USB cable is slow charging, malfunctioning, or has not been updated in a few years, consider an upgrade to something faster and more contemporary.

Apple lightning cables

Apple lightning cables and Thunderbolt cables are used across the millions of Apple products. Though the company’s now focusing on wireless charging for future Apple devices, anyone with a slightly older iPhone or iPad still needs a high quality, premium-built USB connected lightning cable or Thunderbolt to get synced up, charged up, and connected.

Home theater audio cables

Audio is everything when it comes to a home theater system. Video quality is easily achieved. Audio takes a bit more work. Consider making a change or upgrading to speaker wire, 3.5mm cables, digital coaxial cables, RCAs, or Toslink digital optical audio cables. If you know what cables you’re looking for and what they do, you can do a lot with what’s on sale at PrimeCables.ca.

Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. Gift yourself some new home theater accessories and cables for your household this year. Tap into the stock at PrimeCables today and support the best quality sound, picture, and charging premium cables can afford you.

Why PrimeCables’ Cables are the Best in Canada – get them on-sale this June

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

If there’s one thing we know at PrimeCables, it’s cables. We’ve got HDMI cables, USB cables, audio cables, video cables, VGA, DVI, RCA audio cables, network Ethernet cables, computer cables, DisplayPort cables, Apple, smartphone, tablet, and more.

 

Why PrimeCables’ cables are some of the best in Canada are for many reasons. First off, when it comes down to price, you won’t find a better deal anywhere else. You can pick up USB cables, HDMI cables, or whatever you need in bulk for a better price than any Walmart, Best Buy, or elsewhere can give you.

 

Secondly – and this is a big reason – quality. Audiophiles love PrimeCables because they know when they buy a discount cable from us, they’re still getting a high quality cable. It’s not going to be broken, low quality, or not deliver the performance you want. There’s a lot of false promises made in the electronics industry and none of those are coming from us. PrimeCables always delivers on its claims.

 

Thirdly, the cables themselves look great. A lot of the USB cables come braided to protect the technology inside. Other cables are designed color-coded or carry natural aesthetics which translate well to anyone’s home theater space or in personal use. You won’t feel embarrassed, for example, pulling out your headphones to listen to some music on the commute home.

 

Lastly, there are a lot of supportive products around our cables that we’re sure you may be interested in. There’s plenty to look at online through PrimeCables’ store that would complement your new pair of headphones or speakers, or vice versa.

 

You don’t need to spend $100s or $1,000s to get the right collection of cables you want. For as swanky or as expensive other brands’ are, you can get the same performance from PrimeCables and pocket the money you would have spent on something at a higher price point. If you don’t believe us, check out the product reviews and what audiophiles are saying online.

 

There are plenty of people who know nothing about audio who will spend a lot of money trying to get the right setup for them. For PrimeCables, our modus operandi was to get as close to premium product as we can while keeping everything at a fair price point so that families could afford the basics like a USB sync and charge cable, or an HDMI cable to plug their laptop into their flat-screen.

 

Shop the best cables in Canada at PrimeCables, and receive fast, free shipping on all orders above $49.

Organize your Home Theater System with these Tips on Cables and more

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

As we add new screens, devices, cables, and accessories to our home theater systems, things can get tangled pretty quickly. Keeping things organized is a strategic endeavor and one requiring ongoing maintenance. Thankfully, an organized home theater and entertainment system is easy to set up. Here’s a few tips.

Dust.

Home theater screens like TVs, computer monitors, and other A/V components are magnets for dust. Certain areas can also accumulate grease spots from fingerprints over time. If you have a microfiber cloth, this is great at removing fingerprints and other smudges while also taking care of the dust.

 

Hide cables.

Get cable ties and use them to simplify your A/V system. Home theater systems have cables of many kinds which have to be used, i.e. USB, HDMI, connecting cables, charging cables, etc. Cable ties can keep related cables together and also set them up along the boundaries of furniture, keeping the room clean as a whole.

 

Surge protector.

Buy a high quality surge protector with enough outlets to run all components from it. A surge protector is there to predominantly give everything a single entry point to power. It also can add to the home theater look.

 

Mount your TV.

If you want to keep your home theater system organized, one of the best ways to save on space is by mounting your TV. Reclaim some space in your living room by mounting. The installation is simple although the cables will be more visible. To this point, those cable ties we mentioned earlier are going to come in handy. Browse PrimeCables’ various TV wall mounts to see what’s best for your setup.

 

Get a TV stand.

A thin TV stand lining up against the wall is a place to put your speakers, any additional devices that need to be hooked up to your TV screen, be used as a bookshelf, and/or be used for a number of different things. It goes without saying but not everything can be mounted. Consider a TV stand that can accommodate your cables and anything else you intend to include in your home entertainment system.

Don’t drown yourself in cables, dust, unclean screens, and an overall unorganized system. Shop PrimeCables to purchase everything you need to take your home entertainment system to the next level. Disorganization is tough and can be a frustrating trying to wade through. Clean that clutter and improve your home theater system today with PrimeCables.

5 Professional Musician Accessories you want for your Next Live Show!

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

As a professional musician starting out in the industry, you must dedicate a lot to your live show. Live performances can make or break an artist, helping them get attention from some of the industry’s biggest players and the audience before them. Then again, if you do it wrong, a poorly planned out live performance can lose your next gig when you don’t deliver. These are the top 5 professional musician accessories to take with you for your next live show.

 

Flexible light

 

Whether you have a set list taped down in front of you or have something else you want to be able to read, a flexible light is used by everyone from soundmen to acoustic guitar players to provide sight in an otherwise dark room.

 

Adjustable backdrop

 

A height adjustable live show backdrop is a perfect addition to a live show, giving you the opportunity to hang lights, photos, images or something else. Simple in installation and setup, this can add a whole new dynamic to your live show and give your audience a sense of professionalism.

 

¼-inch guitar pedal patch cables

 

You can never have too many guitar pedal patch cables if you’re playing with a lot of guitar pedals. When one goes out, in the moment, it might be difficult to see where the problem is. That’s why you need some extras to plug in and get you going when you’re out on a gig.

 

Guitar tuning pedal

 

No one wants to play a live show with their instrument gently out of tune. That said, if you’ve ever done a live performance without a guitar tuning pedal, surely you’ve been caught before having to tune by ear. When you break a string or when you suspect you may be going slightly out of tune, a heavy-duty chromatic pedal tuner puts you back on the right track with your performance.

 

Tripod folding guitar stand

 

A folding guitar stand is easy to pack and is ideal to keep your acoustic, electric, or classical guitars on when it’s not in your hands. When you don’t have a folding guitar stand, you’re left attempting to prop up your instrument against the wall or having to put it in its case. This sort of behaviour can lead to out-of-tune instruments and permanent damage. Do your gig right, with a tripod folding guitar stand.

 

Shop all these professional musician accessories and more at Canada’s own PrimeCables. Prepare yourself for the best possible live performance you can give yourself and your audience!

Each of these can be used to connect to the Internet and stream videos. Use this quick guide to connect and set up your media streaming box on your high-definition TV.

The vast majority of media boxes will come with an HDMI output, meaning connecting your Android TV Kodi box to your flat-screen will use an HDMI cable. As one of the most advanced home theater cables in the market, HDMI carries both high-definition video and sound. It’s a singular cable for all things required. So start by connecting your HDMI cable from your media box direct to the TV. Then, ensure your television is set to the correct input.

 

From there, power on your Android TV box. Most boxes come with a remote though other units may have a power button directly on them. After your media streaming box has been activated, you should see it appear on your flat-screen. Now, you’ll have to connect to the Internet either via WiFi or Ethernet. Regarding a home theater connection, we always recommend going with an Ethernet cable however that said, a wireless signal is preferable to most.

 

After you have connection to the Internet, you can begin setting up your preferences, like language, time zone, and more. Then, you’re ready to go. Now, when it comes to streaming videos, your box is required to have the application to do so. Therefore, if you want to stream YouTube videos, you need to ensure your TV media box has a YouTube app.

 

The average Android box will come with pre-installed apps and usually has access to an App Store of some kind. There, a user can browse all sorts of apps, and they can download and install what they wish. Also, regarding it being an Android Kodi box, if the Kodi program is not pre-installed, you can download it directly from the App Store.

 

An Android Kodi media streaming box is a great option to upgrade one’s home theater system. Stream videos, music, check the weather, play games, and do all sorts of fun stuff. Home theater media boxes come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and price ranges. Take a browse and find one that suits what you hope to use it for.

How to Connect a Mac to a TV using HDMI for Full Audio and Video Support

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Though years ago, connecting a computer to a TV came with challenges requiring a mix of cables, adapters, switches, and all sorts of gizmos and gadgets, things have changed. Today, connecting your Mac computer to a TV through HDMI is easy.

how to connect macbook to tv
how to connect macbook to tv

There are plenty of reasons why Canadian households have chosen to connect their Mac to their flat-screen, including to share business presentations, to game, and for movie streaming. From start to finish, we’re here to help share how to do it in the most efficient way. Using HDMI is the best recommendation for maximizing video and audio quality.

 

As shared, using an HDMI cable will be the easiest way to make this connection. Whether you’re using a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or other Apple computer, HDMI is cheap, keeps resource usage low, maintains a high video quality with no risk of latency, and provides a much more versatile signal. All you’ll need beyond your computer and flat-screen is to an HDMI cable and the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter required to make the HDMI connection possible. Keep in mind the latest MacBook models already have an HDMI port so you may not even need an adapter.

 

Let’s say your MacBook does not have an HDMI output. Then, you must find your Thunderbolt or DisplayPort output and connect your adapter to it. The location of this may vary depending on the model of MacBook so give your computer a quick search. After connecting the HDMI adapter to the video output, connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and then, turn on the computer. From there, jump on the flat-screen and switch the video input source to its intended HDMI destination. The great thing about Macs are that they should instantly pick up on the connection to an HDTV. Instantly, you should see what’s on your desktop on your screen.

 

As great as this is, there are a few additional steps to take to optimize your MacBook to TV performance. If you’re seeking to watch a movie or play games from your MacBook, you may want to use the Display Mirroring feature. Go into “System Preferences”, into “Displays” and then “Arrangements”, and then, “Mirror Displays”. Set up the TV display as your MacBook’s primary display. You’ll also want to change the sound output from the Mac to the TV via HDMI, possible going through “System Preferences”, choosing “Sound”, and then “Output”.

 

Connecting your MacBook is pretty easy though occasionally you may run into some issues. Be sure to follow these steps and hopefully you won’t run into any surprises. If you do experience a problem not covered in this guide, search it out online. The Internet’s filled with forums of people who’ve run into all sorts of technical issues with computers, home theater accessories, and product. We can almost guarantee the answer’s out there. All the best with hooking up your computer to TV using HDMI!
