CEA and CEDIA Standards Committee announces multi-room audio cabling standard
This Standard provides documentation for multi-room audio installers, including client labelling and considerations for multiple systems, multiple buildings, grounding and ground loops, and power feeds.
It improves on the existing ANSI/CEA-2030: Multi-Room Audio Cabling Standard, which addressed how to wire a multi-room audio system. The updated standard covers much more, providing sample documentation and diagrams of multi-room audio systems.
“This standard provides installers with everything they need to know for their audio integration business, helping everyone from the newest members of our industry to the most experienced,” says CEA vice president of research and standards Brian Markwalter.

“CEA’s Technology and Standards program has a proven track record of developing standards that provide the industry with the tools to develop better products and services.”
“This standard update addresses the future of multi-room AV systems, keeping clients happy well into the future by providing the infrastructure to accommodate cutting edge systems including wireless, power line and internet protocol cloud-based systems,” says CEDIA senior director of technology David Pedigo.
“The new standard is part of the R10 Residential Systems committee’s continued dedication to establishing bulletins and standards for the design and installation of residential systems.”
“Of all the cross-industry best practices, this is the one must-have tool for anyone in the multi-room installation business,” says ClearOne senior vice president and chair of the R10 Residential Systems committee working group Michael Braithwaite.
“From basic wall-mounted speaker volume controls to the latest in time-sensitive synchronous AV streaming, this standard will ensure installers are ready to handle any AV system on the market.”
