Helixnet: Using a Shielded Patch-bay for Different HelixNet Powerlines for Cross-talks Prevention
Question: Ihave also been informed that we should try a shielded multibox. May Ienquire why is this so? It seems induction between different HelixNet powerlines are aconcern; is induction between cables of the same power line a concern? Also, amI right in understanding that a sure fire way to ensure integrity of thesystem, a patch-what-you-need approach is a rule of thumb for both belt packsand infrastructure cabling for a star/tree topology?
Answer: If using a patch bay with multiple Helixnet basestations then shieldingbetween each powerline prevents cross-talks between differentPowerlines. Induction between cables of same powerline is not a concern.Patching what you need is good way of ensuring one does not go over the limit of 10 HBP/powerline, cable capacitance versus distances must also be considered. Ifyour priority is audio quality, experiment with attaching one or two fewerbeltpacks than the maximum permitted (10) to each line. Your choice of topology(daisy chain, star or tree) may also impact audio quality over distance.
Shieldingof any audio cable analogue or digital is good practice to avoid crosstalk.
