5) If you need to run the RCA audio cables more than 20 feet
you should consider using a balanced line driver for the signals.
This will provide better noise rejection against nasty things like
hum, spikes, local talk radio, etc. The AudioControl balanced line
driver components are an excellent way to send audio over long
distances with standard Cat-5 wiring. Check them out.
Speaker Hook-up
The same rule applies to
the speaker wires as the RCA
connections. Establish a
standard connection color code
and stick with it. One conduc-
tor of the speaker wire is
normally marked by a different
color (silver versus copper) or
there is a ribbing on one side.
Typically this marked conduc-
tor is used for the positive (+)
speaker leads. Of course the
really good wire has Positive
and Negative printed right
onto the wire jacket.
The Architect Model 100
and Model 200 are designed
with lots of speakers in mind.
To make this type of speaker
connection simpler, there are
two separate output connector
blocks. These outputs are
paralleled internally so remem-
ber to calculate your speaker impedances accordingly.
