Members slapthefunkyfour Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 In a directional cable, such as the Monster Jazz, is it the input or the output end of the cable that you connect the sheilding to? It seems to me that you want to connect the sheilding to the amp end of the cable so any interference is transferred back to the amp where it is properly grounded. Am I thinking of this correctly? Does that make any sense? I wasn't planning on making a cable this fancy, but it turns out that I have an extra conductor in this snake, so I figured I'd make it directional so the picofarads will be happy.

We are talking about shields. It is no different than a ground lift switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dogman Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 just make sure you do it right, otherwise if its backwards, you'll have stray picofarads pouring out on the stage and tripping on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety above all. My band does not have Workers Compensation Insurance, so if I was injured on the job, I'd be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members solderjunkie Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 We are talking about shields. It is no different than a ground lift switch. True. I just dislike the marketing scam for them... people think the signal can only flow one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 you should hook the cable backwards to the FOH sound man... then the pico's will spill out onto the floor... that way you'll always have an audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
