RE: Speakers and mains cable

["Michael Mc Aree " <michael.mcaree@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Kevin. It is 30cm - Ceiling to above the kitchen
cabinets. I want to put speakers there as ceiling speakers are a bit
more tricky and the effect is the same.

Michael,

    Do you mean 30cm ? If so the actual impact is likely to
be
unnoticeable although it is bad practice. I am not sure if it is in
contravention of the IEE 7671 wiring regs though ?? If it is low power
/
low fi you should also be able to get some screened twin/four core for
that section which will further help reduce any induced pickup (hum),
only earth this to the conduit (mains earth) though. Having joins
(terminal block style) in the speaker cable is not too problematic
although if you can solder them it would be best. In HiFi setups or
with
large power though the speaker cabling it is more critical and a much
debated subject.

  I want to run Speaker cable alongside some mains cable in a
conduit
for
  about 30cm. What likely problems am I going to encounter. I will
use
it
  for radio mostly but sometimes some MP3 tunes in the kitchen.

  Regards

  Michael
