I have some confusion about how to properly seal the holes in my walls behind my mic panels. I understand that you would normally just caulk heavly around the area with acoustic cauking. However, I can't get a perfect seal because the wires have to slide back into the hole further when actually mounting the panels, so the caulking will move with the wires. Can someone give me some advice? Thanks, Ryan

Looks like there's room enough for the wires to fit in. Attach the wires firmly, then caulk. Round'm up when inserting the panel again. piece of cake.
I apologize for being so dumb, do you mean caulk around the wires inside the hole? I will still have the same problem since my wiring is all ready attached to the panels when I push them into place to mount the the wires will slide back a bit further breaking my "caulk seal" Please explain
Pull the cables through another 4cm, attach(screw) a cable tie to the wall with a short screw, hook the excess cable up, caulk the hole and push the plate back into postion once the caulk is dry
Now there's a girl that knows what she is talking about. I just shoved a sock in the cloths washer overflow and it stopped almost all the sound...I was going to suggest that :oops:
I get it now, thanks
