It is not recommended that the ‘Instrument’ inputs are broken out to a patchbay. These inputs are unbalanced and have a
high input impedance. Accordingly, to help avoid the pickup of noise and interference, cables should be kept at short as
possible.

All other analogue inputs and outputs can be connected via a patchbay. It is recommended that the cable shield is
connected at the console end and disconnected at the patch row to avoid ground loops. Wiring to the installation should
normally have the shield connected to the patch row. The shield connection of all jacks should be linked together (note
that patch rows with solid metal front panels will automatically do this) and then linked to a common star point on the
patchbay. This starpoint can then be returned – via a thick grounding cable (6mm sq. or greater) – to the chassis stud on
the rear of the AWS console. This will reduce the risk of earth loops within the installation.
The screen pins of all analogue inputs and outputs – with the exception of the microphone inputs – are connected directly
to the chassis of the AWS console.
MIC INPUTS
If Microphone inputs are to be connected via a patchbay, the type of patch-row used should be of the insulated variety
where the jack screens are not connected to the main body of the patch-row – there are commercially available patch-
rows that meet this requirement. The ground connection from each microphone must be linked through the patch jacks
to the XLR on the back of the console without interruption.
