Will he have to run another line to the duplex outlet or do you just piggyback it to the line already there, in essence turning it into a quad receptacle?
Buck.......A dedicated circuit can easily be shared with a second duplex receptacle, although it is typical for a dedicated circuit to have a single duplex receptacle. The important thing to keep in mind, don't share this additional receptacle with electrical loads that are not part of the audio system. Also make sure you are using quality receptacles, not contractor grade outlets. Hubbell, Leviton, and Pass & Seymour hospital grade receptacles have certified clamping pressure that resists plugs from accidentally becoming disconnected. This extra clamping pressure ensures a firm secure electrical connection.
