[QUOTE="Kip Conner, post: 32222, member: 445"] Re: Wiring an amp rack One thing that I started doing (off topic from speaker gauge) was putting two conditioners in each rack. Most of the gigs fall in to that category of venues where sound reinforcement was never intended. So power is always and issue. The panel that holds the NL4 outs and the XLR inputs also holds 4 powercons (2 in/2out). It's wired so each conditioner has in an input for two circuits. Then, if I get somewhere and they only have one circuit available for FOH power, I have a cable that I built so I can loop the power of the bottom conditioner to the top one. It's basically a short powercon with a blue input and grey output on each end. It leaves me with one out on the second conditioner, plus I used basic furman 8x conditioners mounted in the rear of the rack so I have 2 courtesy edisons available. It cost a little more to do all powercon connections, but it makes it real obvious to my guys which cables go the audio and which go the lighting... since lighting seems to be part of the deal these days.
