Re-wiring the listening room: Questions


FINALLY getting around to having some straight runs from the panel to the listening room.

My room is a basic rectangle with the speakers at 10:00 and 2:00, amps at 12:00, and equipment at 9:00.

Currently everything is fed via power near the equipment, also at 9:00, however I do have another outlet at 12:00.

Should I do two separate runs?

If so, do I want both individual runs available at the 9:00 and 12:00 positions?

Currently everything is plugged into an AQ Niagara, I have all digital and analog stuff powered via that same Niagara, however I could foresee adding a second power conditioner/distributor in the future to just serve the amps located at 12:00.

What should I do?

Thank you!

Personally, I would run three dedicated lines. One line at 12:00 and two lines at 9:00. That should cover any additional growth and give you an opportunity to keep digital equipment on its own line.

Yes, you want a direct line at 12 for the amp(s)… and at least one for the rest at 9. Two at 9 will certainly not hurt. The incremental cost should be very small  for the third.

Cool, and great suggestion guys.

 

For the 9:00 position, do I put two outlets there, so a total of 4 receptacles?
