Wiring for a Legendary Sight & Sound smart home is simple and straightforward. Commonly available wiring is used. Legendary Sight & Sound's commitment to open design gives you many choices for equipment connections. All wires should be home run to a central location (such as a utility closet, entertainment center or similar location). Generally, telephone and TV wiring can be separated from the audio wiring but many homes choose one central location. Here are some simple suggestions:

Most builders are not electronic specialists. They certainly know more about home construction than about home systems. That is why you will need to be persistent in most cases to get what you want. Many builders focus only on TV and telephone outlets and their placement. You may need to make sure you are getting all that you need and want.

Suggested Wiring & Options When Pre Wiring Your New House

Lots of decisions need to be made, however; these decisions are typically not high on the priority list of a new home-owner during the early stages of building a home. Thinking about the modern conveniences of home electronics is sometimes put off until it is too late or at the very end making it more costly to go back in to do the concealed wiring. If you examine a few of your preferences early on before the drywall goes up, your electronic "after life" can be a lot more fulfilling.


Pre-wire for today and the future!



TV and telephone outlets should be home run to a central location (that is, each wire should terminate at a common central point). This facilitates easier changes in the future and provides the purest signal quality. For telephone, ask for data grade, category 5 wiring. This will serve your internet requirements better. For TV, the RG-6 cabling is superior and carries a higher bandwidth rating as well. Some people often ask about fiber optics. This cable is generally more expensive and competing standards do not necessarily make it a wise choice. With the great number of coax and telephone wired homes, the best bet is CAT5 and RG-6.
