outlets for small studio

Post by DennyFast »

Sense my studio is small (bedroom studio), I don't have enough electrical outlets to run my gear without using power stripes. I know this is not good cause it will cause a ele. field..like clicks and pops! What can I use to run all this gear without having a electrician add more ac outlets? Denny

If you have a couple outlets, make them dedicated circuits (seperate breakers). Then, use surge protector/power strips.

If you do have electrical field problems.

Get some steel, not aluminium, conduits,
and put your mass of wires and busbars
into the conduit and or boxes,
and then run a ground wire from conduit to
earth / electrical ground.

This should give some shielding from 60 hz hum.

Also a master ground lead top the cases of all your systems devices helps too.
