1.1
Cables are the connecting links between all the components in an audio
set-up, from microphones and instruments to loudspeakers. However,
their importance is often underestimated.
Please ensure that your cables are functioning properly.
buy good quality, tread-resistant cables with decent plugs and connec-
tors. We can supply these as required.
Please also ensure that the mains voltage distribution is intact.
using power cables and distributors with isolated or missing earth/
ground pins is FORBIddEn.
laying the cables also requires attention: unbalanced cables should not
be placed near lighting cables. If this is unavoidable, they can be crossed
at right angles in order to reduce risk of interference as far as is possible.
All cabling should be firmly fixed to the floor using gaffa tape.
