Document the connections
Record output and input types, including whether connections are balanced or unbalanced. Speaker terminals and bi-wiring requirements also depend on the equipment.
System guide / Cables
Every connection has a purpose.
A cable selection starts with the components it connects. Connector types, the required length and the route through your room should be established before considering a particular option.
Measure the route
Measure the actual route around furniture and through your rack, leaving comfortable access to each connector. Avoid putting strain on sockets.
Keep the system in view
Cable choices should sit within a considered overall system and budget. Share the components you use so the discussion stays relevant to your installation.
