    Hello
    I plan to buy a SONY HT-RT3 5.1 set. Unfortunately, I would have to extend the cables for the two satellite speakers. Unfortunately, I have a problem finding such tips as in the picture. The question is, does anyone know what the endings are called and can it be bought anywhere?

    You won't get the plugins alone. Anyway, what's the problem to cut this too short cable and extend it? You just have to keep the polarity of the connection (do not confuse the wires) and insulate the connection place well (soldering the wires is best).

    As a last resort, I will have to do it, but I will lose the warranty for the equipment and I would like to avoid it. I understand that nobody builds such plug-ins? probably this is the manufacturer's proprietary solution?

    From what I've noticed when servicing many different equipment of this type, each company has its own kind of plugs. It may happen that they will be the same visually, but they will not fit.
    I would rather not worry about the guarantee (unless the equipment falls completely and you want to replace it), because by definition (or at least in the service in which I worked for many years) no one demanded the delivery of cables and equipment for repair. A decent service has a set of plugs for different models and prefers to use theirs (often the customer has cables, for example, permanently located in the apartment, which can be troublesome for him)

    If you like this solution, you can make plugins by cutting the plug (e.g. from an atx power supply) that powers the motherboard. There is a good chance that the plugs made in this way will match your sockets. If you knew the pin spacing in the socket, you could make sure that the plugs match. The downside to such a solution will be aesthetics and of course the need to pay attention to the polarity when plugging in these plugs.


    You cut the plug in places marked with red rectangles:

    OK thanks for the information.
    One more question, what's the opposite about connecting the cables? Can the equipment be damaged or will it not work and the connection needs to be changed?

    what if the cables are connected backwards?
    The sound image will be disturbed. Simply put, the speakers must play "in phase", which means that when all the signals are connected, all the speakers will swing in line.
    Besides, nothing bad will happen to the amplifier, but you will not be able to listen to it ... ;)

    Probably it is about extending the cables for the rear speakers?
    If so, then when you add additional connectors to the extension, instead of extending the original thin ones (probably 0.5mm?, up 0.75mm?) ;) cables, it is better to buy cables of the appropriate length (from the cinema, to the satellites) with a cross-section of 1-1.5mm?, install additional connectors on them. I think that it is probably not about extending the cables by 5 or 10% and probably by at least 50%, so the signal losses will be felt already. The use of cables with a larger cross-section will avoid them.
    Ew, as you can, you can remove the connectors from the original cables and mount them on purchased cables.

    Best regards.

    these speakers can be connected to a bare 2 x 1.5 mm2 cable and how to do it? Thanks in advance for the info and help

    What do you mean by "bare cable"? There must be insulation - it is indisputable.

    how to do it possibly?
    It is best to solder and put insulation (e.g. heat shrinkable) on the joints.

    Added after 2 [minutes]:

    I meant a regular speaker cable, this is what I have in the wall, or how to connect it with a thin black cable from the speaker as in the topic, the cable in the speaker is probably thinner, does it matter? I think it is also double / wired - I do not know because I am before buying this Sony set.

    You can easily connect these cables coming from the wall with the cables coming from the REAR loudspeakers - here it will definitely be a two-wire cable. You just need to keep the polarity, i.e. + the cable from the wall + the column cable and the same with -.
    How you combine them is a matter of your invention and skills, but according to the easiest way for me is to remove the original plugs from the column cables and connect the cable from the column to the cable from the wall using ordinary, twisted electric cubes, for example: https://www.gotronik.pl/kostka-elektryczna-12-pol-r6mm2- white-p-5812.html
    Of course, you can use a more sophisticated connection, e.g. a banana plug and socket for a cable, and if you do not like the disassembly of the original plugs from the speaker cables, for example, fit a model of male connectors to their female connectors. But as I wrote above: "it is a matter of your invention and skills". :-)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around extending the satellite speaker cables for the SONY HT-RT3 5.1 home theater system. Users express difficulty in finding compatible plugs for the satellite speakers and consider alternatives such as cutting and extending the existing cables, which may void the warranty. Suggestions include using connectors from other devices, ensuring proper polarity during connections, and opting for thicker gauge cables (1-1.5mm) to minimize signal loss. The importance of maintaining speaker phase alignment is emphasized, as incorrect connections can distort sound but won't damage the amplifier. Various methods for connecting cables, including soldering and using electrical connectors, are discussed.
