Wiring volume controls

Wiring volume controls

Robert, Usually, we use a 4 conductor wire; one each for right+, right-,left+, and left-.It goes from the amp/selector area to the volume control then on to the speakers. You can use the same wire and only use two of the conductors for each leg to the individual speakers if you want to save yourself buying two rolls of wire.

What type of wiring runs go to the room volume contol? What type of wiring goes from volume control to speakers? Regards, Robert

      Jeffrey, It's good practice to keep them about 1 foot away and when you have to go by them, cross at a 90 degree angle. They do NOT go in the same gang box as 110v. You can mount the low voltage ring or box across the stud bay. Jeffrey G Pittell ...
