Audio Wiring Guide

Often the people who had done the wiring were highly intelligent, motivated individuals. But craftsmanship is not synonymous with either intelligence or motivation. True craftsmanship also requires a thorough understanding of the materials you ’ re working with, an understanding that can be gained only through experience. In this book I ’ ll be sharing with you the experience I ’ ve gained during decades of audio/video wiring.
The Audio Wiring Guide (hereafter AWG) is designed for use by both the amateur and the professional. Whether you ’ re wiring a home studio, a PA (public address system) or a commercial multi-track installation, this book will help you do it better, faster, cheaper, and with fewer mistakes. No matter what the size of your wiring project or installation, the AWG provides you with the essential information you need and the techniques to use it.
One of the biggest differences between the AWG and other books is that the steps you need to do for a particular sequence of work are illustrated with photos that look exactly like the wires in your set-up. The instructions are written so you can understand them the fi rst time you read them, no matter what your experience level.

Let ’s take a trial run now to see how it works.
Wiring nomenclature is often ambiguous and confusing. For example, the word ‘ wire ’ could refer to any of these:
● The individual copper strands inside a conductor.
● The strands and their insulating jacket.
● The cluster of conductors and the shield layer in a microphone or other cable.
All very confusing – and for no good reason! So listen up. In every part ofthis Arthicle, I ’ ll use certain terms in specifi c ways. Here ’s an example:

● Strands are the individual copper strands of a wire.
● Conductors are made up of copper strands that are covered with aninsulating jacket (different colors of pliable plastic).
● Shield is a metallic, conductive layer wrapped around the innerconductors to reduce noise. It may be a metalized mylar foil, anelectrically conductive plastic or actual strands of copper wire that arecommonly not insulated.
● Wires are made up of the conductors (strands and insulating jackets) in ashield, and commonly surrounded by an outer plastic or rubber jacket.
● A harness or cable is a collection of wires that are bundled together for aspecific purpose.
The copper strands go into an insulating jacket to becomeconductors . Conductors and their shields in an outer jacket are wires .
