100 Appendix E: Best Grounding Practice
VeniceU
Operator Manual
Noise solutions
The grounding on the VeniceU is very robust and often such ground loop induced noises
are negligible, but to get the very best out of your console, and especially out of any
less robust equipment within the overall system, some consideration should be given to
good grounding practice as follows:
• Power Connect all equipment within the audio system to a power distribution
system with a source that has been set aside for that use alone. This will provide a
degree of isolation from other ground noise inducing apparatus, such as fans,
lighting, etc.
• Cable runs Plan power cabling as far as is practical so that it follows the same
physical paths as the audio connections. This reduces the area contained within any
ground loops, which will minimise the currents induced from magnetic fields into
their conductors. Similarly, audio cables to and from equipment racks should be
dressed together to reduce loop area — additionally, producing a tidy appearance.
