Wiring the studio/presentation room

There’s a lot left to be figured out for the studio. As I sit here I’m almost stricken by a Tony Soprano-esque panic attack when I ask myself: “Where do I start?”

First thing is to get some 14/2 or 14/4 wires. I also need to make a decision on in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, like today!

Here’s the list:

• Room Lighting

• Automatic dimmer for recessed lights
• Wall sconces

In-wall wiring

• Wall plates

• Speakers

• Video (to the projector)

Automation

• Lighting (X10, Lutron?)

Controls

• Lighting
• Sound

How much can be wireless?
