Wiring Diagram
Type of Speaker Wire
For most applications, we recommend you use 16 or
18 gauge, stranded copper speaker wire for the TVC-1 con-
nections. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet, 14 gauge wire
is recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14 gauge for
the TVC-1 connections is not recommended—the wire may
not fit into the connectors. Never use solid-core, aluminum,
or “Romex” type wire with the TVC-1. When running speaker
wires inside walls, most states and municipalities in the U.S.
specify that you must use a special type of speaker wire .
Usually, the requirement is that the wire has a specific “CL”
fire rating, such as “CL-2” or “CL-3”. Consult your Niles deal-
er, building contractor, or local building and inspection
department if unsure about which type of wire is best for
your application.
Avoiding Interference
Speaker wires can act as an “antenna” for electrical noise.
Locating speaker wires too close to a light dimmer or switch
may cause a “buzzing” or "popping" sound to be heard
through the speakers. If you must locate the TVC-1 wiring
near electrical devices, route the speaker wires several feet
away from the electrical wiring.
