3. Keep cables carrying high voltage (power cables) away from those
cables carrying low voltage (audio cables) to reduce the possibility of
interference and hum, which will effect sound quality. This is espe-
cially important if you are bundling cables to keep the install orga-
nized and neat.
4. Use quality interconnect cables, as signal loss and interference cannot
be overcome by the Savoy’s many features. The Savoy is designed to
increase the strength of the signal it is provided and direct it out to
the speakers. If you provide a poor signal, the Savoy may only make
it a louder poor signal.
5. When running cables further than 20 feet, it is wise to use Balanced
XLR audio interconnect cables (provided your source unit has Bal-
anced XLR outputs). Balanced XLR cables provide better noise re-
jection than unbalanced RCA cables due to the way they carry the
signal. If your source unit does not have Balanced XLR outputs (you
won’t have this problem if you’re using a Maestro M2 pre-amplifier),
it would be worthwhile to consider using the AudioControl BLD-10
and BLR-10 (see Appendix). These pieces allow you to transform an
unbalanced RCA signal to a Balanced XLR signal that can be sent up to
1000’ over standard Cat-5 cable.
Connecting the Speakers
It may sound as though we are repeating ourselves, but the process for
connecting the speakers is very similar to connecting the audio (dis-
cussed previously), and many of the same steps should be followed.
1. Turn off ALL components before making any connections.
2. When making connections, label the cables to more easily distinguish
each channel and decrease the chances of improperly wiring your sys-
tem. Be consistent throughout the system. This will not only make it
easier on you if you need to make an adjustment, but also in the case
that someone else works on the system after you.
3. Use quality speaker cables, preferably shielded, as signal loss and
interference cannot be overcome by the Savoy’s many features. The
Savoy is designed to increase the strength of the signal it is provided
and direct it out to the speakers. Signal loss or interference picked-up
between the Savoy and the speakers cannot be compensated for in
the Savoy.
