Overview
fold
The Home Theater Plate (HTP-7.2) is a double-gang in-wall connection plate
designed to allow easy hookup of all the speakers in a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1-channel
surround sound system. It includes terminals for up to seven speakers, and
two powered/active (low level) subwoofers. Its Decora design allows for
each half to be used independently if desired, for two single-gang plates,
one with 4 pairs of stereo binding posts and one with 3 pairs and a pair of
RCA jacks. The heavy-duty plates support the weight of high-quality wires,
and each connection is clearly labeled. The 7/16" gold-plated binding posts
make for easy and secure connections, and the captured posts won't turn
while they are being tightened. The 5-way binding posts have gold plating
to resist corrosion and can accept the following: bare or tinned wire up to
12 gauge in thickness, pins, spade lugs, and single or double banana plugs.
The powered subwoofer connections use high quality RCA connectors. Be
sure to use only those connectors that are approved for audio or low voltage
use in your area.
Wiring Instructions
Be sure to use adequate gauge wires, depending upon the length of each
wire. Consult the following table for general recommendations or contact
your installer or speaker manufacturer.
Length
10 to 100 ft.
100 to 200 ft.
Over 200 ft.
Leave enough excess wire so as not to put too much tension on any
connections, as this can lead to loosened or inconsistent terminations. Keep
speaker wires and RCA cables away from AC wiring. If these wires must
occupy the same area, keep them as far apart as possible and have them
cross at right angles when crossing is necessary.
