May I ask two questions: What kind of room is this that you have so many sockets right next to each other? What are the two sockets with the red and black plugs in them? The three to the left, are those six Ethernet ports?

Sure, you may. This is the audio/video wall. Power for TV, telecom receiver, AV receiver, Apple TV, Blu-ray + spare. In the corners, not visible in the photo, there are also switchable sockets for lighting. The CAT sockets are for the devices, and the red/black sockets are for the 5.1 speakers.

Of course you may.

Ah, the black/red ones are okay for sound.

But doesn't only the Smart TV need a LAN connection or the Telekom receiver? Wouldn't two be enough then?

I'm not asking provocatively, but because I'm building/planning myself ;)

These will be the new main lights in the living/dining area, there are 2x1200 and 1x1000mm diameter. Yesterday, the first plastering was done, I think 3 passes will be necessary before wallpapering. I am also having a new lowboard and sideboard built now, they will also get LEDs on the underside for indirect lighting.

Thanks for the info. You will probably post a picture of the finished state?! I think the pieces currently make the room look quite small.

But doesn't only the Smart TV need a LAN connection or the Telekom receiver? So wouldn't two be enough.

Better too many than realize later that something is missing ;) I also planned 4 behind the TV. 2 below at the level of the sockets and then another two + 2 sockets above behind the TV. Then an empty conduit to connect top and bottom.

In hindsight, the sockets above were useless because my TV with One Connect only has a thin wire for power & connections and everything is still plugged in below. So now there are again missing power and Ethernet sockets (Mesh router, TV, Apple TV, and eventually the TV box).

I also can't use the sockets behind the TV anymore because it hangs with a No Gap wall mount. AND the useless sockets also forced me to hang it higher than I wanted...

Plans are great until they change or you buy the "wrong" TV... At least it looks good ;)

I have never seen so many (power) sockets on one wall, respect! :D I usually prefer to work with multiple sockets, they only cost 5 euros, have an on-off switch, and are more flexible. However, we have found that we would like single sockets in several places. Well, now it is like that, there is always a solution B :)

Yes and no. I'm a bit nerdy about this. I want all devices to output their native sound. This really only works via an A/V receiver. A nice side effect is that only one HDMI cable goes to the TV. My A/V receiver is basically the One-Connect box like with Samsung. And thanks to the sideboard from Munari, everything disappears behind white glass and is easily but invisibly operable with a single Logitech Harmony.
