Typical Use / Installation Example
A common use case is in home theater prewire projects. During the rough‑in phase, you run speaker cable (12–16 AWG) from the AV rack location out to each speaker position. At the theater room, you mount a double gang low-voltage bracket in the wall and install this PI wall plate. You terminate each speaker cable to the back side of the brass binding posts. At the front (clean) side, your AV receiver or amplifier connects via banana plugs or spade lugs. The RCA feed‑through is used for the subwoofer’s LFE out. This arrangement neatly hides all wiring behind the wall and provides clear, labeled connection for future equipment changes.
Because of the Decora design, the plate blends with standard wall décor and fits within standard trim kits.

Important Notes & Recommendations
-
Closeout item: Quantities are limited and pricing is final. When inventory is depleted, the product will not be restocked.
-
Use a double gang low-voltage bracket or box for installation to allow room behind the plate for banana plugs and wiring bend radius.
-
Label each cable during termination to avoid channel confusion (Front Left, Center, etc.).
-
When using banana plugs on both sides, ensure clearance behind the plate is sufficient to accommodate plug length.
-
Maintain consistent polarity (red = positive, black = negative) to avoid phase issues.
-
This plate is designed strictly for low-voltage audio; do not use for mains or power wiring.
