Niles VCS-2D User Manual

and electrical boxes are available from your Niles dealer or
local electrical supply company. Using the p-ring is best
because it gives you unobstructed access to the full depth
of the wall. In some instances, the use of a p-ring may be
inappropriate, such as in a retro-fit (existing) installation, or
when building codes require that wall devices be enclosed
in electrical boxes. Contact your local building code and
inspection department if unsure.
Type of Speaker Wire
For most applications, we recommend you use 16 or 18
gauge, stranded copper speaker wire for the VCS-2D con-
nections. For wiring runs longer than 80 feet, 14 gauge wire
is recommended. Using speaker wire larger than 14 gauge
for the VCS-2D connections is not recommended—the
wire may not fit into the connectors. Never use solid-core,
aluminum, or “Romex” type wire with the VCS-2D. When
running speaker wires inside walls, most states and munici-
palities 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 dealer, building contractor, or local
building and inspection department if unsure about which
type of wire is best for your application.

"Tech Tip"
Wire size is
expressed by it's
AWG (American

number. The lower
the AWG number,
the larger the wire,
i.e., 12 AWG wire is
physically larger than
14 AWG.
