System Installation Considerations

There are several factors to consider before installing 
Earthquake Sound’s Hestia LCR speaker:

Ÿ

What are the intended listening zones?  

Ÿ

From where in each zone will the listener prefer to 

control the system? Where will the speakers be 
located?  

Ÿ

 Where will the source equipment be located?   

Connection Tips

Ÿ

Keep all power cords away from all signal cables 

to prevent humming from induced noise.   

Ÿ

Choose  reliable  signal  cable  cords  (Earthquake 

Sound also specializes in high performance RCA 
cables and patches).

Ÿ

All speaker  wires  that are ran through  the walls 

should  be  twisted  type  to  reduce  potential  hum 
noise pick-up.

Ÿ

It  is  best  to  use  a  grounded  electrical  outlet  to 

power  the  amplifier.    Lack  of  input  ground 
reference  could  be  unsafe.    Consult  with  your 
electrical contractor about proper grounding.
