Cable Matters 7.2 Speaker Wall Plate with HDMI

Designed for 3-gang low-voltage mounting brackets, this white faceplate lets you route seven speaker channels, two subwoofers, and up to three HDMI sources neatly behind the wall. It combines screw-type binding posts for robust speaker connections, female RCA jacks for subwoofers, and an HDMI pass-through that supports common resolutions including 4Kx2K (3840x2160) and HD 1080p. The plate's compact 4.5 x 6.4 x 0.2 inch profile and included mounting screws make it straightforward to install and suitable for living rooms, dedicated theaters, or media walls.

How does this wall plate support a 7.2 surround sound system?

The plate provides labeled binding posts for front, rear, and center speakers plus two sets of subwoofer connections so you can route a complete 7.2 setup through a single, neat location. Color-coded rings on the terminals simplify polarity checks and wiring during installation.

• Screw-type binding posts accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or 12–18 AWG bare wire.
• Seven speaker terminals clearly labeled for channel placement.
• Dual RCA female subwoofer jacks for concealed sub connections.
• Red/black ring labeling front and back for correct polarity alignment.

Can I hook up HDMI sources and keep video quality?

Yes — the HDMI pass-through supports UHD and 1080p resolutions so your video source can be connected behind the wall without sacrificing clarity. Audio formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD pass through the connection, letting your AV receiver handle decoding.

• Supports 4Kx2K (3840x2160) and 1080p resolutions.
• Audio passthrough compatible with common high-definition formats.
• Pass-through design avoids in-wall signal processing that could degrade quality.
• Compatible with up to three HDMI devices when used with compatible cabling and routing.

What connector types and cable gauges does it accept?

The faceplate combines versatile binding posts and RCA couplers to accommodate a wide range of speaker and subwoofer wiring methods. Thumb screws on the speaker posts can be tightened by hand for a secure connection without special tools.

• Screw-type binding posts for banana plugs, spades, or 12–18 AWG bare wire.
• Gold-plated terminals for reliable contact and corrosion resistance.
• Female RCA couplers for standard subwoofer cables.

How easy is installation and future upgrading?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with low-voltage home theater work: route in-wall speaker and HDMI cables to a 3-gang bracket, secure the plate with the included screws, and connect terminals. Its layout also makes future upgrades — like adding a second subwoofer or upgrading to a 7.2 receiver — simple without reworking wall finishes.
