Wiring

 (cont’d.)

When pre-wiring for a Home Theater, run 14-16AWG stranded speak-
er wire from the equipment location (head-end) to each speaker 
location.  Use speaker wall plates in the listening room as termination 
points and use ELAN PSP6 or PSP12 Precision Panels for neat and 
accurate speaker wire management at the head-end equipment 
location.

Note: 

When pre-wiring for a Home Theater,

 

it is essential to make 

direct wire runs from the head-end to each speaker.  Do not run 
speaker wires in series or parallel, and do not “daisy-chain” speakers 
to common wiring.

WARNING: Do Not Run Speaker 
Wires Through Holes Shared 
By High-Voltage Wiring!

There are instances where TheaterPoint speakers will be connected 
directly to an amplifi er.  Use a high quality speaker cable of equal 
lenghth for each Left and Right speaker directly from the amplifi er 
to each speaker.  The use of spade lugs or bannana plugs is recom-
mended.
