[QUOTE="Declan Slater, post: 83931, member: 964"] Re: AC and signal cable of whatever type Interesting, seems from Jan was saying, and correct me if I am mistaken, that the spec for shielded cable seems to more about EMI radiation going OUT of the cable, rather than shielding it from stray EMI going in. He did talk about avoiding HF radiation into the cable, but also talked about rejection circuitry present that reduces that. I also noticed when I got the P-16m's they came with a 20' shielded cat-5 cable. My experience with other digital consoles strongly supports the fact that having to keep the ac on the same circuit/panel/phase like in the analog snake days is totally not nessesary (unless your running some analog sends or returns from there to stage. It ALMOST seems that they ment to use commonly found utp cables, but the regulations regarding EMI forced them to officially state the use of shielded cable. My heartfelt condolences go out to all folks who spent $$ for utp cable... I think I'll stick with cat-6 utp for a while, since it's worked perfectly for years with my Roland digital stuff. [/QUOTE]
