RUNNING WIRES IN WALLS OR CEILINGS

When running wire inside walls or ceilings, use special jacketed cable (CL-2 or CL-3) to protect the wire and to meet local electrical and fire codes. In some areas, conduit is also required. For a trouble-free installation, low-voltage wire such as loudspeaker wire must be run in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable provisions of the local building code. If you are unsure of the correct installation techniques, wire jacket, or type of conduit to use, consult a professional audio/video installer, building contractor, or the local building and inspection department.
