Single Core (Shielded) LV Cabling for Audio Equipment

Adrian B
Hi All


Quick question regarding suitable cabling for LV supplies to Audio equipment.....

I have a client (Sound Studio Designer) who is insisting on the LV power cabling to serve many different types of Audio equipment being shielded.  Firstly, I have never specified anything of the sort previously, normally specifying 6491 or 6242 etc., so is there something out there that is suitable?  Secondly, has anyone had any experience in this type of installation, and if so, what are the thoughts on single core or multi core cabling with shielding?  I personally would have thought that shielded singles would be the preference, but what do I know, I am quite obviously not a specialist in this field.


Any advice/ help would be hugely appreciated as always.


Thanks

    Hi Guys


    Thanks for the very prompt responses, most appreciated.  Regarding the vagueness of 'Shielding', I quite agree and no, there are no stipulations as such so I cannot pass on any further information.


    As for comments regarding if it is worth while, seeing that yes, the incoming supply is a common DNO wending its way through both a residential and industrial area before serving the demise, this was something I raised 2 years ago when this (lengthy) project begun.


    What scares me somewhat is the fact that the so called 'Specialist' is also suggesting that an entirely separate Earth be installed, with no bonding to the incomer, and that when recording, the technician can switch over to this supposed clean earth and not utilise the incomer.  If I am correct, this is not common practice in the UK and not something that is acceptable!
