I hope I’m in the right subforum. We are currently installing the electrical wiring in our house. Now I would also like to plan the audio wiring for the living room to be installed flush in the walls.
We are currently using a Samsung Blu-ray Home Entertainment System J5550. My question is, which types of wall outlets would you recommend placing to connect the speakers? The audio cables are already on the way; I have ordered 100 m (330 ft) of 2 x 4 mm² CCA speaker cable (this will also be used for other purposes like Loxone speakers).
I hope someone can help me here – if any details are missing, please let me know.
Best regards,
Roadrunnr

You can assume that the house will outlast the Samsung sound system, or in other words, time will move on.
First, it’s important to understand how the system is controlled and what power levels are involved. In some cases, network cables with wall outlets are a good solution, especially for low-level signals.
Alternatively, speaker cables are used when the power requirements increase.
Subwoofers are usually connected via RCA cables. Ideally, if there are empty conduits installed, these can be used in the future to replace cables without much hassle.
The future will likely be active speakers (230V) with wireless connections.
For speaker cables, I used ÖLFLEX 4x2.5, daisy-chaining the cable from one speaker to the next. This type of cable is much easier to install, and for the audio extensions, I did not use cable bundles but only one stereo line per room.
