ROUTING SPEAKER WIRE
Homerun Speaker Wires
All speaker wires from each speaker location must be “homerun” to your preferred mounting location for the AIRHOME
5
.
For best system performance
DO NOT INSTALL SPEAKER WIRES DIRECTLY PARALLEL TO AC POWER LINES. AC power lines can generate electromagnetic interference. If
speaker wires are run parallel to AC power lines, the interference will generate unwanted hum in connected speakers.
If speaker wires must run parallel to AC power lines, maintain a minimum distance of 12 inches (or 30 cm) of separation between speaker wires and AC
power lines. 2 feet (or 60 cm) or more of separation is recommended for best performance.
AC power lines and speaker wires should only intersect at 90 degree angles.
NOTE
: The installation of the speaker wiring and the type of speaker wire used must conform to
the requirements of the National Electrical Code
(USA)
or Canadian Electrical Code
(Canada)
.
