What cables need to be pre-built to create a perfect AV room?
When you choose to make an audio-visual room, the decoration will inevitably choose to hide the relevant audio cables. Because more people would prefer a media room with an aesthetically pleasing space.
Since it is a hidden cable, we should pay attention to the choice of the relevant audio cables and the way of routing, method. Because if it is not reasonable, bad maintenance can be too much trouble.
So, what wires do you need to make an audio-visual room? How to correctly wiring? These questions are in front of us.
The cables of the audio-visual room system are divided into power cables, signal cables, HDMI cables, speaker cables, network cables, etc.
1. Power Cable
- Power supply is the blood of normal operation of each device, the power cord is a blood vessel, needs to withstand enough current without heating.
- Power cable quality is very important. Cable selection should take into account the total power and current of all audio and video equipment, and flow enough margin. Do NOT use low quality power cords and connectors.
Secondly, the power supply of audio-visual equipment should be routed separately from household wiring as far as possible. Because the power supply is most afraid of interference, keep the power supply pure is the whole audio-visual room equipment to play the best state or even the basic guarantee of normal work.
In addition, the power cables should be separated from the audio and video signal cabless, speaker cables, network cables, etc., instead of going to the same slot. It is better to maintain a parallel distance of 500mm to prevent signal cables and power cables from interfering with each other!
If the power cables and signal cables must cross, you can choose a signal cables with shielding, like aluminum foil or tinned copper shielding. If there is large electrical equipment nearby with significant interference, a high-power regulated power supply is recommended for improving the power supply and protecting equipment operation.
The power distribution of AV room:
- Power socket for projector or TV
- Power socket for motorized screen
- Power outlet for subwoofer
- Power outlet for surround speakers
- Cabinet power outlet: This outlet is crucial, as high-power equipment such as power amplifiers and signal processors are usually housed here.
2. HDMI Signal Cable
a. Cable selection
HDMI cable has many versions, it is recommended to directly choose 2.0 or above, support for sound and 4K image transmission, whether it is to create a high-definition 1080 or 4K audio-visual room, the purchase of HDMI can not skimp.
Another recommendation, choose a high version of the HDMI signal cables, the wire diameter is too thin line shielding do not do well, the diameter of each conductor is related to the rate of signal transmission. If the transmission rate is affected, it will lead to unstable signals, poorer picture quality, picture lag, low signal-to-noise ratio and so on.
b. Wiring Recommendations
Pre-buried two HDMi cables, if considering karaoke and movie function, it is recommended to pre-buried three. Need to make a big bend with PVC50 pipe. Because HDMI cable is very fragile, once buried in the wall, it is difficult to take out and replace, as far as possible to leave a spare.
3. Speaker Cable
It is generally recommended to choose 200-core low-smoke halogen-free oxygen-free copper Speaker Cable. Considering the transmission distance, please use OFC oxygen-free copper as much as possible to maintain clear sound quality. Meanwhile, the wire needs to be flexible enough for installation.
4. Network Cable
It is recommended that the AV room sound system embed three CAT 6 cables in the cabinet.
The first one is used for downloading and updating movies and videos from a smart video library or hard disk player.
The second is used for system upgrades and song download library updates for home karaoke systems.
The third one is used for transmitting RS232 protocol. This cable is essential if your video room system has been added to a smart home control system or upgraded to a smart home in the future.
What’s it like to have a movie theater at home?
You can enjoy the texture of a movie theater at home, and the key is still a package! Eating snacks, drinking drinks, watching movies!
At home you can sing loudly, the key is not KTV noisy environment and bad smell!
A good set of audio-visual room equipment to present a good audio-visual effect, is determined by a combination of factors, wiring is one of the more basic but also very important part, learn, you can also have a great private audio-visual room!
