Speaker Wiring Distance Guide

Cable distance should be kept as short as possible to reduce the power loss. The following chart
illustrates the correlation between three typical wire sizes and the distance that speakers with integral
drivers or horns with separate drivers can be placed from the central card rack for a –1 dB loss (-20%
power loss). For a 0.5 dB loss, divide all lengths in half.
