hi there. i'm planning on wall mounting all the outlets in our studio. our audio snakes will be running through the wall horizontally in plastic pipes, and i know that we should run electrical conduits perpendicular to them to prevent RFI, etc.

1. does it make sense to have the conduits run on the ceiling, and then branch off straight down the wall to each outlet?

2. is there a way to do this efficiently so that the live room doesn't look like a web of conduit?

3. is there any situation where you can run the electrical parallel to the audio snakes at some distance?

4. what is the "best" way to mount the outlets to the painted drywall?

thanks in advance for any help!

Hello. This is just my idea. I am an elecrtical engineer, all that i can say to you my friend, if you have the possibility, you should NOT cross ANY cables what so ever! If you can, pass all the elecrical cables below and the audio cables above. As far as i can tell you the wall plugs should be external to the drywall and never embbebed in the wall.

Hope this helps you out.


Best regards
