Tech Tips: Pre-Wiring for New Construction

1.For best results, avoid running speaker wire near electrical wire, as it may induce a 60Hz hum in the audio signal. It’s a good idea to run the speaker wire after the electrical wiring has already been completed, so that you can route the speaker wire at least three feet away from the electrical wiring. If speaker wire and electrical wiring must run parallel, install the wire within a metal conduit. Note that low-voltage wiring (doorbell, intercom, telephone, security, etc.) are unlikely to induce hum and can typically be run parallel to speaker wire 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 wire 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 wire 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 wire through them will be easier.
