Hi there guys, This thread, i hope will be a simple open and shut case! Ok, after doing a lot of reading and searching on here i've gathered the following... - Lighting & sockets should be on 2 seperate circuits. - The studio should have it's own ground rod seperate from the rest of the house. - The sockets should be grounded using the "star" method. Are the above points/assumptions correct? Now, onto some questions i have... Has anyone here got a lighting system installed in the studio? I'm gonna get a Niko lighting control system installed in my labm it's a more flexible system that runs on low voltage circuits. If you have it installed, did you have any problems with it? When i say "lighting system" i mean one of those automated systems that have remote controls 2 change settings on the lights. Sockets - Does each socket have 2 have its own switch in the fuse box or can i set them up in "rings" i.e. -Studio rack ring, this is the ring of sockets that my rack gear will plug into. -Studio speaker ring, this is the ring of sockets that my monitors will plug into. I think thats all for now, i can't really think of anything else at the moment. Any info would be appreciated. Cheers. Kang.
