Keypad Control And Speaker Cable Wiring - Ada GENESIS SYSTEM Design & Installation Manual

Keypad Control and Speaker Cable Wiring

The Genesis rooms wire in such a way that most every room's wiring is identical to the next.
The most important consideration to remember when wiring a Genesis System's room, is that
the speaker cable needs to wire past (through) the keypad's location and then back to the
system mainframe (home). Since the volume is controlled locally in each room, using either
the volume attenuator (autoformer) built into a Genesis keypad or controlled by a Decora style
volume attenuator (you have provided) when using the MC-1111 Decora control (shown
below), you will need the speaker's cable connected to the volume attenuator. Furthermore,
the keypad's control cable is a separate cable from the room's speaker cable.
Note
Even when using the Millennium System's 12 Conductor Control Cable with overall Foil Shield
and Drain for the Genesis, while there would be enough extra conductors available for use as
a speaker cable, the 20 Gauge (or 22 Gauge) wire is not the ideal gauge for powering speakers.
For the separate speaker cable, ADA recommends running a 4 Conductor/16 Gauge speaker
cable. This cable should loop through the keypad's wall box and can be cut during wire
termination. You can also opt to run a 4 conductor speaker cable to the keypad location from
the mainframe, while running two separate 2 Conductor speaker cables to the speakers from
the keypad location, one to the right channel speaker and one to the left channel speaker.
