[BC] Studio grounding info

[Tom]

Well, peanut whistle or not, RadioXTZ has two Audioarts A-50's - one 
configured as a six-channel (there are no control modules - the IN-50 
module - for the other two, but I digress); the other a full 
eight-channel board.

The six-channel is set up to be the on-air board:  Ch 1 is the operator 
(DJ) mike; channel 3 (2 open) is an external mixer (would be newsroom if 
I had 25 kw - or even 5 kw, rather than 35 watts AM and 0.01w FM ERP); 
4A and 5A are reel decks (Otari ARS-1000 and Revox A77), with a cassette 
machine on 5B (Tascam 202 dual-well); (6 open); 7A has my 
I'm-in-the-middle-of-refurbishing-it Format Sentry 12C, 7B is a cart 
machine (mono - a Tapecaster 700RP for the gory details - still sounds 
great!) and 8A is carrying the main automation system, StationPlaylist 
Studio Pro.  Program bus to the 8000A -> "homebrew" FM TX; Audition bus 
terminated, Tel bus (mono) into the Audimax -> 100' of 8451, the 
Volumax, then the LPB.

The other is Production.. 1A & 2A - two internal mikes, ch. 3A is an 
external microphone mixer (the A-50 normally ships with only one dual 
preamp) 4 and 5 are turntables (A)(Gates CB 1200's!; Microtrak 303 
tonearms and Shure M-64 preamps) and Otari MX5050's (B), 6 runs wide 
open to interface with consumer gear (an AKAI 1800 on A, a mini TRS on 
B) 7 and 8 are cart machines and computers (one mono, one stereo cart, 
BE 3200 series). 

I have a router (360 Systems 16B/E audio matrix) if I ever manage to get 
the special connectors for it - and an 8-row patch bay.....so once 
completely wired, I'll be able to route any source to any 
destination.........

So - what was the question, again?

Oh, and they both pass "proof", both on flat response and on noise 
levels - even with the CC transmitter feeding the same side of the power 
line.
