                                           CONNECTORS

- Always use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output.
- Always connect both conductors at both ends, and make sure that the screen is connected only at   
   one end.
- Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provided both   
   safety and screen returns to the system star point.
- Equipment which has balanced inputs and outputs may need to be electrically isolated from the    
   equipment rack and/or other equipment, to avoid earth loops.
It is important to remember that all equipment which is connected to the mains it a potential source 
of hum and interference and may radiate both electrostatic or electromagnetic radiation. In addition, 
the mains will also act as a carrier for many forms of RF interference generated by electric motors, 
air-conditioning units, hyristor light dimmers etc. Unless the earth system is clean, all attempts to 
improve hum noise levels will be ineffective. In extreme cases there will be no alternative but to pro-
vide a completely separate and independent ‘technical earth’ to replace the incoming ‘noisy earth’. 
However, always consult your local electricity supply authority to ensure that safety regulations are 
not being infringed.
