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?

Right behind the stereo system, I ended up using the Gira 4-gang 569403 together with the mounting frame 264803. It doesn’t perfectly match the Berker series, of course, but I think it works. The advantage is that I don’t need as many outlet boxes there.

Thank you, I will do something similar now. It looks much neater than having the cable come directly out of the wall.

If I lay the conduit pipes along the concrete slab, how do I fasten them to the bitumen waterproofing membrane? Should I simply use screws? Adhesive?

Nailing is an option, or if the vapor barrier is clean, you can use adhesive. However, there is a higher risk that someone might step on it, and you will need to reapply the adhesive.
