Okay, so I'm going to assume that most know the rule about not putting signal cable next to power cables wherever possible.
A little while ago, one of the techs at the church designed and built a platform for the music group with built in floor channels for cabling and power to the various areas.
Over all it's really very clever, except...(bet you didn't see that coming )
Me and another tech from the church (professional electrician) took up some panels to relay one of the XLR cables for a vocal patch. It was then we discovered how close the power cables and signal cables are together.
The power cables are literally on top of and side by side with the signal. Whilst all signal cables are balanced (thankfully) this is obviously not great or good practice..?
Can anyone suggest a fix that would help this and make it better without major redesign?
It rarely causes a problem but it's really not good and hoping no one else will ever see it
Thanks!
