Members Two of Seven Posted May 5, 2017 Members Share Posted May 5, 2017 Finally making transition to digital mixing – X32 Compact + S32 snake. Is it still wise to run an ac line from stage/amp rack just to keep everything on same ground and minimize ground loop issues? .....or is that no longer really an issue with digital boards and cat5 snake.

Members B. Adams Posted May 10, 2017 Members Share Posted May 10, 2017 Power isn't as much of an issue, but issues can still pop up once in a while. I like to be prepared, so I have everything I need in my snake. Mine is 200', 14/3 SOOW bundled with 2 tactical shielded Cat5's and a 4-pair XLR snake. Covers all the bases, including when I need DMX or intercom from FOH. I once had an act run their console off my spare Cat5, and occasionally I'll run network over it, but usually it's just a backup. It's nice to know I just have to pull one cable out front and everything is taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
