A. Design Intent
1. Provide a complete and functioning Audio system inclusive of all hardware, software and
training to meet or exceed the performance features outlined in this document.
B. Design Standards
1. The Owner’s goal is to have available a cohesive and fully functional system. Therefore,
part of the development efforts for successfully implementing the Audio systems should
include:
a. Install the system in a manner that complies with BiCSi and ICIA cable routing
standards. Route all audio, point-to-point, and remote control cabling elements in a

c. Provide and install cover plates, connectors, and associated cabling to link all floor
and/or wall boxes to all affiliated local and remote Audio components. No wiremold
or surface-mounted raceway will be permitted, except where specifically identified on
