Studio power connections

[Joost Schuttelaar]

Alright -bar! Quiz time. 

Time to make the plan for power in the studio. That means, power sockets in the wall and in the floor.

A dozen years ago (whoa) we talked a lot about ground loops. I have the idea that these days it’s a less prevalent topic, but should we 1), still wire up things with the ’star’ system, where we everything comes out of a single socket?

And 2), does it make sense to have a dedicated power group for the studio? One for the computer, screens and audio gear, with the lights etc. separated?

The default way of wiring up the studio would be two lines from the mains, one for the floor sockets (shared with the room below) and one for the wall sockets/lights.

So, what to do? Pull another cable? Just connect the wall sockets and the floor sockets? Or just keep as-is?

Thx guys :)

Cheers,
