Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction

1.For best results, avoid running speaker wire near AC wire, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a good idea to run the speaker wire after the AC wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker wire at least three feet away from the AC wiring. If speaker wire and AC wiring must run parallel, install the speaker wire within a steel conduit. Note that low voltage wiring (doorbell, intercom, telephone, security, etc.) is unlikely to induce hum and can typically be run parallel to speaker cable with no detrimental effects.

2.When drilling holes through wall studs or ceiling joists, use a drill bit that is at least as wide as the speaker cable that will be routed through them. Always drill through the center of the stud or joist. If the hole must be drilled within one inch of the edge of a wall stud, add a nail plate to the drywall side to protect the cable from possible nails and screws put in the wall later. Line up the holes in the studs or joists as you go, so that pulling the cable through them will be easier.
