with unit installation.

System Installation Considerations
There are several factors to consider before installing Earthquake
Sound’s iQuake-52.
• What are the intended listening zones?
• What system options and accessories might be required for features
such as local sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the listener prefer to control the system?
Where will the remote gains be located? Where will the speakers be
located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
Connection Tips
• Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming
from induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cable cords (Earthquake Sound also specializes
in high performance RCA cables and patches).
• All speaker wires that are ran through the walls should be twisted type
to reduce potential hum noise pick-up.
• Label both ends of all wires with the corresponding room location.
• It is best to use a grounded electrical outlet to power the amplifier.
Lack of input ground reference could be unsafe. Consult with your
electrical contractor about proper grounding.
