Speaker Wire - Beale Street Audio IW5-BSC Installation Manual

Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Beale Basics Series speakers from
Beale Street Audio! Beale Basics In-Wall speakers install with ease using the 'dog
ears' mounting system and magnetic grilles for fast, clean installations. Please
follow the instructions in this manual to assure proper installation and to achieve
the full performance and satisfaction you would expect from Beale Street Audio.

Speaker Wire

Pull one run of 16AWG stranded speaker wire from the amplifier location to each
speaker location. If in pre-wire, while the walls are open and it's easy, pull extra
wire to any location that may be desirable to add speakers at a later date. Leave
extra length of wire on each end to allow making connections and installing/
removing speakers.
Use the chart below to determine the proper gauge of wire, based upon wire
length from the amp to the speakers. If using volume controls, include the total
length from the amp to the volume control and then to the speakers.
Speaker Wire Length
Speaker wire must be run from the equipment or volume control location to each
potential speaker location.
• Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions created by
joists, HVAC ductwork, electrical wire runs, plumbing or anything else that
might not allow for the depth of the speaker or create interference or noise
