Hi.
I know there already a thread on this, but it wasnt about patchbays, so I didnt want to hijack it.
Ive done as much soldering as I can without help now, and I still have 4 hours left to solder in, so I would appriciate some help to I can make use of that time.
This is what Ive got so far
Live room -> Patchbay top row, all soldered to all three pins in both ends.
The patchbay row under live rooms inputs has preamp inputs soldered to them, but no XLRs in the other end of those cables yet, The second section in the top row has the preamp outputs soldered to them, but no XLRs in the other end)
Which (if any) of the XLR cables do I need to leave the ground off, and Will I be able to send phantom power to my mics with this scheme ?
I was told to do this the whole way around on the bay http://home.flash.net/~motodata/patchbays/busswire2.jpg so I am going to do that when I put the patches back into the bay....unless there are objections
Last but not least. I have some presoldered D-sub to stubs. The Dsub end is going to my AD converters, the stubs should sit half normalled under the preamp outputs on the bay. Do I need to cut the ground on any ends of that ?
Its been mentioned in the other thread that its a world of "voodo", but I really need some kinda suggestion to get some work done now.
