Low Voltage Wiring
January 3, 2024
Over the last couple weeks I finally got around to finishing up the low voltage wiring.
All the analog audio runs terminate at a floor box behind the desk, so I started there.

I tested each run to ensure the labels were correct and then soldered into the back of the floor box panel.

There are 8 sends, 8 returns and 2 ethernet lines, for a total of 18 connections.

There’s another matching floor box nearby with power in it. I wanted to keep them separate to avoid EMI issues.

As I hooked up each plate, I used the label maker to identify what’s going where.

The black screw-less plates look slick, but also leave a nice surface for labels.

With the audio and ethernet lines complete, it was time to build a couple audio snakes.

I made two 8 channel snakes, one with male and another with female XLR connections.

The snakes will run to a TRS patch bay, where I can then use patch cables to route audio around the studio.
