ᐅ Looking for alternatives to speaker connection outlets in the living room

Hello everyone,

I am currently planning my speaker wiring and selecting the individual components needed. Initially, I wanted to use the speaker connection outlets from our switch system (Jung LS990), but there are only stereo connection outlets available. This means that in each corner, two speaker connections would be occupied, and two would remain free. Visually, that’s not very appealing. Using a different switch system might also stand out, for example if I chose ones from Gira.

Do you have any recommendations for connection outlets? I need speaker cables, RCA (phono), and HDMI.

How large did you plan the conduit? Is a 40mm (1.6 inch) conduit sufficient for cables with 2.5mm (0.1 inch) thickness plus HDMI and RCA?

We have Jung AS500; the technology behind it, meaning the contacts, are the same.

What you are referring to, we also have, but we don’t notice it. And that is for two reasons:
1) We tend to look past it.
2) The speakers are installed in such a way that the connection box behind them is, at best, barely or not visible at all.

Unfortunately, I am currently on vacation, otherwise I would have shown you a photo. Although… here, they happen to be visible. I no longer notice this “issue.”

Thanks. Apparently, I am the only one bothered by this, otherwise there would be more participation here.

We don’t have HDMI, only RCA connectors. These are relatively small sockets, which are covered by the speakers in our setup.
We haven’t really considered the manufacturer’s software at all.

Isn’t the box itself the much bigger visual distraction? Whether one or another outlet is unused doesn’t really make it worse, does it? And aren’t there even blanking plates available?

In my opinion, it’s more important to match the wall color to the color of the box and plan the position so that it’s as inconspicuous as possible. Behind proper enclosures, you can even hide entire pieces of furniture (provided the WAF is high enough).

Sorry, but that looks awful. It’s just not acceptable. In our case, the cables come straight out of a 20mm (3/4 inch) conduit directly into the box.
