The Hubbell solution you sent is not compliant with NYC/Chicago code, we need to split line and low voltage in two separate wallboxes - or - we need a 2-gang wallbox with metal separators.

If this isn’t an MBR, then consider allowing more “breathing room” in your TV living area, so the sound doesn’t get “muddy” by you for the recommendations on the clearance, I hear you, but the Interior Designer is forcing me to a 2" clearance (but at the end of the day I will extend it to 4" -) Of course at only 6” below, the reflections from the main front-firing speakers off the dresser are a problem too! To me, Arc is not a good Master Bedroom solution with typical close-quarters. Even with the forward angle of the upward-firing drivers, at only 2” away it must reflect off the TV before it gets to the ceiling. (By the way (not that you asked!-), depending on the depth of your TV mount, you might want to offset the Sonos Arc from the wall or else move it vertically farther away from the TV.
Leniency is becoming the norm in the US.īut what amazes me the most is that Sonos is not even responding to my inquiries much less to this wouldn’t a Hubbell “JLOAD” RJ600 do the trick? That’s if I understand your problem to be mounting (hiding) a single duplex outlet sideways with a split high/low voltage divider & metallic connectors: I spoke to many industry peers and they are amazed how the ARC wall mount design excluded NYC/Chicago (two large markets) from compliance.

And it would limit the application to new construction and full remodels only. I am sure I can engineer a solution to make this code-compliant in NYC/Chicago but it would require extensive drywall work to build a soffit, which in turn requires more wall depth not always available. No can do with the Arc and it’s two upward-firing Atmos drivers. So easy with the Playbar-just place directly under the TV. I’m hoping that folks have a solution for this new product. Running the cord behind the wall for three or four inches, a spur, then using the outlet behind the TV would make things a breeze.
#Sonos arc wall mount code
This is turning out to be a huge, code compliant, problem.Īn Arc investment, especially with the extra outlay for the wall mount, and the slick photography of wall mounted Arcs, is not compatible with an electrical outlet behind the mount, especially with little space and a six foot power cord. Others recommend to get a recessed mini-outlet with line and low-voltage, however these multi-purpose outlets use Romex electrical wires which are also not code-compliant in NYC either.Īm I missing something or is the ARC design flawed for NYC code? Some recommend to just drill a small hole behind the mount and fish the power+HDMI+Cat6 wires from the media cabinet below, however this is not code-compliant (power cords are not in-wall rated). And what about the slack of the power cable, where do we hide it?
But what about the HDMI and Cat6 wires, it seems if routed from above or below they would be visible from the sides they would interfere with the flush mount. Since the ARC is only 3.5" tall and an outlet is 3 ¼" tall x 5" wide, it seems the entire center area of the wall mount is occupied by the outlet.
The mount has a bump in the center, precluding approximately ½" and 5" wide, most likely to avoid interference with an outlet placed right behind. The Sonos ARC wall mount is installed flush against the wall, providing that "floating" sensation to the ARC.
