Layout Considerations
Plan where you will install the various components:
• Determine where the speakers in each zone will be located.
- Consider sound distribution.
- If the speakers are to be installed in a wall, make sure they don’t share a stud cavity with
speakers in other rooms.
• Determine the location in each room/zone for the keypad.
- Consider convenient access, both manually and with the remote.
- Avoid installing the keypad where direct sunlight will reach it. The infrared eye may not
recognize the remote’s command if sunlight interferes.
• Determine where the Central Controller will be located.
- Make sure there is an electrical outlet nearby.
- Make sure there are no heating elements or other heat sources located near the Controller.
- Make sure there are no obstructions to wiring in the wall cavity.
• Determine where the zone line-level input/output wall plate will be located.
• Determine how wiring will be routed to each location.
- Make sure you avoid wiring for 120/240V, security, dimmers, etc.
- Plan so the length of wiring can be kept to a minimum.
