Planet Waves ZM Series Cables & Custom Installation Kit Review

Planet Waves ZM Introduction

Time is money. You know it, I know it… your custom installer who just landed that contract wiring up that 6-figure whole home audio & video system knows it. And if you can save countless hours wiring up your audio and video cables, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of all that reclaimed labor? Planet Waves has designed and refined its system to reduce on-the-job labor costs and substitute an easy-to-use and reliable cabling system that makes soldering and crimping AV cables a thing of the past.

We were introduced to Planet Waves quite some time ago and were at once captivated by their line of quick-assembly cables and interconnects. At the time we were dazzled, but still wanted more - primarily a solution for more robust bundled cables. Fast forward to last winter and the company gave us a sneak peek at some of their latest and greatest products. This included some new cabling products as well as a revamped line of connectors (their ZM Series). When the kits were finally ready, we jumped at the chance to take a closer look at these cables and see if indeed "change is good".
