What does one need to control various components throughout the house. Is there a remote distribution system that would connect and go over Cat5 that would link all equipment together with emitters on everything?
I personally would not use Cat5 for speaker wire. I would only be interested in using it for line level (L&R) only. My questions were for using it say from a line out of a cd player to a line in of an amp in a different room, not for speakers.
The Cat5 that I am using is only for sending a L & R line output audio signal from an Sat. box to a TV input. I didn't know if it could be used as is - I soldered RCA ends on the cable and it does carry the signal & sounds OK - but will it cause problems for the line outputs on the...
I checked into L-com.com & the RG59A they sell with the stranded copper center looks like the cable I need. The RG59B & RG6 solid center conductor coax cables they sell are copper covered steel. How much does the shielding coverage percentages affect the signal quality or interference? What...
Well, that answers some questions, I appreciate your explanations. I looked at my regular cable & it has the steel inside of the copper. I bought a spool of Liberty serial digital cable & connectors but have used most of it up. This is why I was trying to lean toward regular cable to complete...
Is it possibly to use and get good results using regular cable, e.g. Belden Series 6, for digital audio and video feeds? I am talking about regular CATV coax - the stuff that the cable company runs in a house. I want to use it more for powered subs and also for interconnects or patch cords...
Does anyone know of a good deal in Canada on Studio 100's, a 570, 4 ADP's - all v.3's, and a PW2200? If so, where? I am looking at buying immediately and would like to see what the best deal is that I can be offered.
I am looking for a type of "marquee" header for above my home theater entrance doors. I have been trying to find some pictures for the carpenter to build this header for something a little different. Does anyone have a link to some?
ArthurJ, sorry about the hijack - I got in with the "Paradigm Studio Setup (need ideas on different options)"' title of the thread. I was concerned about the matching of the versions. A dealer told me that it would matter, he said that the 570 would be more noticeable then a CC with the 100...
Hi, I am looking at speakers for a new room that is nearly completed. I could go with all new v3's, but have a chance at a pair of 100's and a CC in v2's. My questions: would you go with the v2's that were demos and then use v3 ADP's with them(4 for 7.1)? I can get them at a good price and am...
I am nearing the drywall stage of framing on my theater room. I want to be sure of the correct video connections. The proj. is a Sharp 9000. It is about 20' from the equip. What are all the runs that should be made? The inputs are: Component/RGBx2(5RCA) - my dvd & my HDTV receiver only put...
If you installed a transducer - Buttkicker or another type - on a set of tiered risers built into a room, do you think that the vibration or the resonance caused by the low frequency would cause the structure to weaken over time?
I am installing a 100" Firehawk Luxus Deluxe fixed screen to use with a Sharp 9000. What is the correct wall height for the screen? Is the correct seating distance about 14' back? Also, is the projector mounting OK at 17'(ceiling)? The room is 23 1/2' X 14 1/2', 9' ceiling height. And what can...
I am building a new house and am wiring in a theater room and also multiroom speakers. I ordered a roll of 16-4 for all of the in wall/ceiling speakers in the house. I also ordered a roll of Quad 4 coax for Sat. dist. I had not yet decided on theater room wire. I received the 16-4, but the roll...
I agree with your opinion on the forums, John Cain. They are both very good for their own reasons.
I am actually O.K. waiting this Outlaw thing out(sorry to you guys that have been so patient),but I am building a new house that won't be ready for a while. I am using a Denon AVR5600 now, but...
Real sorry to hear that. What a disappointment. Fox has let
us down. I have been waiting to hear about the how the
Superbowl would be broadcast and this is bad news. Fox needs
to get it together. I have to wonder if CBS or ABC would have made a decision this bad.
