Connection Tips

Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced noise.

Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes in high performance RCA cables and patches).

All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted type to reduce potential hum noise pick-up.
