2 Installation
Follow these steps for audio wire preparation:
1. Strip the cable insulation jacket and foil
shield back 1½" [38.10 mm].
2. Remove the foil shield and sleeve the drain
wire with 20 AWG Teflon sleeving, leaving
9/64" [3.572 mm] of the drain wire exposed.
3. Cover the cut end of the jacket with 3/4'
[19.05 mm] of heat-shrink tubing, centered
on the cut. Shrink this tubing to hold the
drain wire sleeving in place.
4. Strip the signal wire insulation back 9/64"
[3.572 mm].
5. Crimp the receptacle contacts onto the wire
and insulation.

To ensure your installa-
tion follows recommended grounding procedures,
you must sleeve all drain wires with Teflon sleeving
and put heat shrink tubing over all cable jacket
cut ends to insulate the shield wire.

Cabling & Wiring
Before beginning the installation, draw a facil-
ity wiring plan listing the console interconnections
with peripheral devices. Identify and create tags
for all audio and logic cabling. List each connec-
tion in a master facility wiring logbook to facili-
tate wiring installation, future system wiring
changes, equipment updates and system trouble-
shooting. Refer to
Module Connections
, pages 17
through 23 later in this chapter, for the audio and
logic connector pin-out definitions.
Analog audio connections require two-conduc-
tor stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable contain-
ing a separate shield drain wire (equivalent to
Belden 8451, 9451 or 8761).
AES/EBU connections require 110 ohm two-
conductor stranded, insulated, foil-shield cable
containing a separate shield drain wire (equiva-
lent to Belden 1800A).
Logic control cables require stranded, 22 AWG,
multiple conductor, non-shielded, jacketed cable
(equivalent to Belden 9423, 8457 or 9421). The
number of conductors needed is determined by
the application. Typically five and eight wire cables
are most often used for constructing logic cables
(there are only 18 distinct signals on the Logic
Interface connector, of which only a handful may
actually be used for any given application).
WIRE PREPARATION
All AirWave Digital audio and logic wiring ter-
minates in AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts at
the console. Stranded wire of 22 to 26 AWG, with
insulation diameters of .040 to .060 inch, can be
used with the AMP MOD IV receptacle contacts.
