• Preferred system wiring (Figure 3) – using the TA-2 connection kit. See “Connection kit” on
• Alternate system wiring (Figure 4) – using terminal block connection cables (PC 33946 and
PC 33947). See “Other wall plates and cables” on page 7.

For detailed wiring information, see the instruction sheets included with the system
installation accessories.
As you plan your wiring options, keep in mind:

fier AUDIO INPUT must not exceed 150 ft, maximum.
• Cable and wire lengths depend on the placement of the TA-2 amplifier and each device that
connects to it. The following wire recommendations are based on a maximum frequency
response deviation of ±0.5 dB.
