How would you wire your electrical panel for a dedicated sound room to an optimum level?
This panel will have its own run from the meter straight to a sound room for that soundroom's use only.
The things it must power at all times is:
2 500w monoblock amps
1 preamp
1 huge HT receiver (Onkyo 905)
1 Game station/PC/DVD player
1 DVD player
1 Audio PC
1 DAC
1 turntable
1 tuner
1 projector
And then I'd like to have 2 or 3 more dedicated outlets for 'guest gear' that I'm comparing or whatever:
2 sources (DAC's, TT's, phono pre's, etc.)
2 amps (tubes, large ss, and other)
All lights and the retractable screen motor will be handled by a separate panel... but tied to the same meter.
The whole house system is 100A. I may get a 200A service instead. I'll have 3 HVAC systems, 3 or 4 new rooms, and the sound room. We don't use a lot of stuff so I don't know that it's all that big of a deal... but I'll see what that's going to run.
In any case, I'd like to know how you'd wire the box, what grounding you'd do, etc. Thanks for any advice.
