Speaker wire tags/label​s

WE're about to switch our Home Theater around, and will be running surround sound speaker wires through the walls, instaed of those wire/cable channels, and it would just be great to have tags/labels attached to the speaker wires so that we will know which wires go to want input. Thank you in advance.

I've had the orginal tape on my speaker wires for over a decade now. It's made it through three sets of speakers and 4 AVR's. It's cheap, easy, and effective. You could go buy a labeler or some 'speaker wire labels' if you want, but for something that's going to stay immobile and hidden you're really just paying more than you need for fanicer tape.
There's really no need to overthink this.

  • Inspire T3000 - Speaker Wire Broke

    Ok, you can laugh all you want, but I doubt this is the first time something like this has happened.
    I bought my Inspire T3000's on 2/7 and I'm very pleased with them. However, my cat chewed through one of the speaker wires and I'm interested in purchasing a single T3000 speaker to replace it. How should I go about doing this? I did not find any way to purchase spare or replacement parts via the creative website, but I am sure there is a way they can accommodate me.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Okay I will not lye I did laugh lol because I know cats love to chew on our technology but if you did not want to wait for the replacement wire just fix it yourself and I will walk ya through that below.
    First cut the 2 ends nice and even the peel each side of the wire back so you can peel there coating off now one will be Black and the other Red on both ends of the cut in half wire one will be positive + Red or White and the other will be Negative - Black just cut the other end of that broken wire like you did one side then match the colors togeather like a puzzle then twist the wires togeather then if you want I preferr solider but if you can't get ahold of this the electrical tape will do just tape the wires up so they can't touch eatch other and when your done they will work fine and withstand minors pulls and tags but not cats
    hope this is better help to you

  • Bookmarks sync erase new tags, labels and description on former synchronized bookmarks

    hello,
    on firefox 32.0.3
    bookmarks synchronisation erase recent tags, labels and description during the sync.
    this happen on already sync bookmarks on which we add some tags, labels and description, but not on new ones.
    no error message when logging or unlogging.
    thanks in advance
    best regards

    Hi ebntv,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that after a recent sync to your sync account that there are Recent Tags, descriptions and labels missing. However it is only the older Bookmarks that are affected.
    I have attached two screenshots to clarify to make sure I understand the feature that is affected:
    # The first has the default recent tags and list of all tags.
    # the second is an older bookmark visited 32 times that has all of the details after a sync.(However it never had a description or keyword)
    Which information is missing exactly?

  • Connecting traditional speaker wire to Airport

    I just moved into a house with speakers installed in the ceilings. The connection wire for the speakers is traditional +/- (black/red) speakerwire. I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect that wire to my Airport so that I can use my PowerBook as a jukebox throughout the house.
    Right now I've got it hooked up through a series of connectors from Radio Shack, but they definitely hurt the sound quality. Any suggestions on a more elegant, simple solution to this problem?
    thanks!

    You need some kind of simple amplifier, and an Aiport express for streaming iTunes.
    If the speaker wires are in multiple locations, you'll need multiple amplifiers and multiple AX's

  • 1/8 inch to speaker wire?

    I use an Apogee One with my Macbook. I have a pair of old speakers that use regular speaker wire. I would like to connect those to the output jack on the Apogee Duet. Anybody know the easiest way to do this? Does anybody manufacture something that converts from 1/8 to speaker wire?
    (my original message said 3.5 mm to speaker wire - I think I mean 1/8'' to speaker wire)
    Message was edited by: Lizard Man

    Hi,
    I tried finding out a converter for your 3.5 mm speaker wire to 1/8" gauge but I only found one that goes from 3.5mm to 1/4." The best thing to do is soldering the wires evenly into your Apogee.
    Check this link I found a guy had a similar problem:

  • IPhone to speaker-wire speakers.

    I'm not really a 'speaker guy' I know how to take two pieces of wire and plug my big speakers into the standard dvd surround sound player and all that. But I had a rather interesting idea today that I am sure someone else has thought of before.
    I have to extra speakers, they are old wooden ones that still play beautifully and are mounted on the walls in my bedroom with speaker wire running from below them to behind my tv. They are not hooked up to anything, what I was wondering how to do is hook these up to the iPhone Dock.
    Is there a product made by bestbuy or radio shack that has the left channel and right channel things like on my speakers with the red and black wire that go into the two spring loaded parts and THEN a headphone jack behind it? This would be really convenient but I'm just not sure how to put this entire post into a google search So I came here.
    Thanks,
    -Brandon

    You can't run unpowered speakers from the iphone, or an ipod, etc. Things like computer speakers are powered, and accept a line level input from a source device. Your wooden speakers need an amplifier that takes the iphone as its source. So if you can hook them up to a receiver, you can run your iphone into the receiver with a standard stereo to 3.5mm splitter, into the AUX or another input on the receiver. If not, you'll have to pick up an amplifier capable of driving those speakers.

  • Speaker Wire

    I just bought the 7.1 creative s750 speaker system, and I was wondering if anyone knows any kind of speaker wire I could use that is a little higher performance than the speaker wire that comes with the system? I have looked around and I can't find speaker connections with one end an RCA connection, and the other end a positive, negative end to plug into the back of the speakers. If anyone knows where I could find that type of speaker wire that is hire end, I would really appreciate it.

    You could plug them into the 3.5mm speaker output on the back of the computer.
    Yes, there are speaker wire to RCA and then RCA to 3.5mm headphone plug cables/connectors.
    But that wouldn't really be good as the power otuput of the computer (500-600 mWatts?) would not be enough to power the speakers to an acceptable level (probably 1 watt minimum).

  • All speaker wires and no music...

    Hi,
    I just renovated my apt and installed speaker wire on each room...
    Now I want to play music :-) but I don't know what kind of equipment I need.
    So far I've been using a portable CD player.
    If possible I'd like to set the volume in room independently
    Thanks,
    SWK

    Do you have any audio gear other than a CD player?  If you want to control volume in all the rooms you will need a volume control for each set of speakers in each room. These are usually in wall controls and will fit in a standard electrical box. Do you want just a stereo reciever and speakers in all rooms or are you wanting a surround system with speakers in all rooms?

  • Missing s750 speaker wire

    does anyone know where i can go about getting replacement speaker wire for the s750? i've moved a ridiculous amount of times and lost track of my rear speaker cables.

    From what I can tell from my S750s, you should be able to go to any Radio Shack and buy a new wire. Just make sure that the plug in to the Sub woofer is the right size on the one end and it really wouldn't matter what the other end is because you plug in bare wire to the actual speaker itself. Find a 2 wire... err WIRE with the right connector for the Sub and strip it on the other end to connect to the speaker. Sound simple... yes? Make sure you get the right length of wire!

  • Replace speaker wire

    I have one FPS1500 and one speaker wire is broken. How i can disassemble this speaker to weld the wire again again?Antonio

    I've replaced the front speaker wire on my s750's with QED 25th anniversary silver plated wire.You will need to desolder the wires inside the speaker and resolder some new wire taking note of the +- terminals,then connect the other end of the wire to an RCA connector(if thats what these speakers use)making sure to connect the + wire to the centre terminal of the RCA connector and the - to the outer section.A fairly easy and straightforward job if you can use a soldering iron. Hope this helps

  • PSE 6 switching to a new computer - any way to import albums and tag/label heirarchies?

    I've just switched to a new computer and have copied and imported all my photos over to it. When I imported the photos using PSE6, I lost all the heirarchies of tags/labels (e.g., people not in the people category, ditto for places, animals, etc.). Also, I've lost all my albums. Is there a way to export/import this information from my old computer before it goes to the recycling bin?
    TIA for any help.
    Mary

    > My original attempt to move files included using the Folder Location tree and moving the main photo directory from one drive to another. That copied all the files over, but resulted in all the photos showing up as missing in the catalog.
    That is not good moving within Folder Location view should not produce missing files. This suggests you may have encountered one of the PSE bugs in handling hard drives.
    I recommend letting this first attempt at doing a restore complete and then thoroughly testing it. Do File > Reconnect > All Missing to see if there are any missing files. Try viewing a number of your files in the Organizers full screen. And try importing a few dummy photos from the old drive to make sure you can have photos stored on both the old and new drives.
    > it appears that all the files are going in without any subdirectories
    There are options you can set in the File > Restore Catalog command that control how folders are restored. See this Adobe tech note:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402894
    Assuming that your test above works ok, then you can redo the restore using the desired options.

  • Speaker wire cut, want to fix myself - which is the best way to connect the wires back together?

    Some how, one of the wires going to my left-center speaker got cut in half. Not sure if it was the vacuum or my dog........anyway, I want to fix it, so - would you recommend butt-connectors, soldering the wire back together, or some other method?
    Also, does it matter which wires connect back together? The wires are identicle (smooth covering) and both wires appear to be copper........ I was just wondering if anything would happen if you were to connect the wires back together, but backwards.
    Please let me know so I can get this fixed quickly.
    Thanks,

    Go to the above link and listen to the Pink Noise Monaural and the Pink Noise with Reversed Polarity tests. When a speaker is of opposite polarity, that means that the wires are connected backwards (positive to black and negative to red). If this happens, when your speaker should move out it'll move in and vice versa. This makes the sound seem to come from everywhere but the speaker. Play the tests to see what I mean.
    If you solder your wires back together and notice this problem with your speaker, just reverse the connection to the speaker itself and you should be okay.

  • Markers/Comments/Tags/Labels dont show up on second computer

    Hi Team,
    My question:
    Im in the process of editing a movie with many different sequences and have created numerous Adobe Premiere Project files (.prproj) via Adobe Prelude. When Im done adding those tags (or are they called labels or markers or comments or whatever in English?) to my footage, I export the Prelude project file (.plproj) to Premiere via the "File>Export to Premiere Pro" menu option and save it as Premiere Project file to my dropbox. My work mate can then open the Premiere project on her computer and see the tags in her time line to help her organize the footage for editing purposes. Although its not necessary, we even share the same folder structure on our external hard drives we work with (except for different drive letters until now, I just changed mine to match hers, it worked fine before though).
    The problem is that I have created and shared a prproj-file like described above but my work mate cant see the tags I have included in the time line. I have used Encore chapter markers as well as standard comment markers in there but she cant see any in her Premiere Pro. This worked before with other files and I dont know what is different now. She can relink the files on her hard drive but doesnt see the appropriate markers.
    Any ideas?
    We are using Windows 7, I run Adobe Master Collection CS6.0.3 (my work mate also runs CS6.0.?) and work with Panasonic P2 footage files.

    No its not stored in the media files (P2). The markers are actually stored in the .prproj files (Premiere Project file). I know this because other markers for a different project can be displayed correctly in Premiere by my work mate. We share the same set of media files (P2) on our hard drives. I add markers to my project in Prelude, export it to Premiere and save the project in a .prproj file. I then send the .prproj to my friend and she can open the project with my new markers on her computer with her harddrive own. Id did it yestersday for another sequence and it worked. I just dont understand why it doesnt work for the other project that I created before, its not because of a faulty project file either becuase I just recreated the .prproj file from a saved .plproj (Prelude project file) on my computer and send it to her as .prproj. It works on my computer but not on hers.
    What is wrong?
