Building addition: cable runway recommendations


Hey everyone,

We are adding a room to the house which will hold my audio equipment so I get to plan and build it with this in mind.

I want to hide cables. I will have a TV, and all my equipment near the center of the room, and my speakers near the corners.

I need a recommendation on a cable runway system from the back of the TV (hung) to the back of the AV center, and from the AV center to the speakers.

I considered using PVC, but it appears there are solutions out this for this but I am not sure what to use. #1 on my list is a tie between ease of use (no snags, etc) and no vibrations.

Can anyone recommend a solution?

Panduit makes a wiremold rectangular plastic duct product in various sizes which fastens to the wall & has snap-on removable covers. There are competing products available; ensure that whetever you use, the cover is capable of being opened up again because you'll need to access inside occassionally.
You can also use this product for your AC power wiring but don't put your a/v cabling in the same duct. There's also a steel version available; not sure who makes that. Visit your local electrical supply house or larger hardware center for some ideas.
