Monoprice 104013 3-Gang Surround Sound Distribution Plate

The Monoprice 104013 3-Gang 8.2 Surround Sound Distribution Wall Plate is built for home theater enthusiasts and installers who need a single, organized termination point for complex multi-channel audio systems. Supporting eight speaker channels and two subwoofer connections, this wall plate handles configurations like 7.2 or 8.2 surround sound without requiring multiple separate plates spread across the wall. Speaker channels accept banana plugs or bare wire, while the two subwoofer channels use standard RCA connections suitable for powered subwoofers.

The 3-gang form factor fits standard low-voltage mounting brackets, though the bracket is not included and must be sourced separately. Each channel is labeled for easy identification, which is particularly helpful when running wires through walls where tracing individual cables can be tedious. The larger 3-gang footprint does require more wall space than a 2-gang plate, but the tradeoff is having all connections for a full 8.2 system in one consolidated, professional-looking installation point. This plate is well-suited for dedicated home theaters, media rooms, and commercial AV installations where clean cable management is a priority.
