Does electrical wire interfere with speaker wire?
Speaker cables (or other audio/video/data cables for that matter) crossing mains cable should be fine. The issue is with running them parallel to one another in close proximity, you can get inductance. Different cables are affected differently, e.g. twisted pair cables tend to reject interference better.Click to see full answer. Moreover, can speaker wire be…
Speaker cables (or other audio/video/data cables for that matter) crossing mains cable should be fine. The issue is with running them parallel to one another in close proximity, you can get inductance. Different cables are affected differently, e.g. twisted pair cables tend to reject interference better.Click to see full answer. Moreover, can speaker wire be run with electrical wire?According to NEC 300.3(C)(1), you can only run the speaker cable in the same enclosure as a higher-voltage circuit as the insulation of speaker cable is rated for the voltage of the higher-voltage circuit.Furthermore, do speaker wires interfere with each other? Speaker wires dont tend to interfere with each other. But – AC power wires carry a signal that is audible and will interfear with speaker wires. (The fact that the AC power is a constant 60 hz adds to the problem.) Try to keep these apart or only cross them at 90 degrees. Regarding this, can you run speaker wire next to Romex? Especially with speaker wire. Parallel runs should be at least 3′ apart. You can cross directly if you have to. All the low voltage stuff can run parallel to each other but never mix your romex with your data/AV stuff.Can you use low voltage wire for speakers?should be fine. outdoor lv cable is usually between 8 and 16 gauge, speaker cable is usually 16. so if anything, it should be the same or even a little better.
