Subject: Wiring
We are a small archive with a significant collection of video and audio tapes that we are in the process of remastering to current archive formats. We have been advised that to obtain the best quality recording conditions our equipment should be grounded separately from all other electrical equipment in order to obtain clean power (inconsistent grounding being a major source of interference). At the moment we are in an old building and are looking to achieve separate grounding and to prevent RFI and EMI interference by purchasing Tripplite or APC brand UPSs for our video and audio equipment. However we are also about construct a new building and have been told to put in a completely separate grounded power source for our audio/video equipment. Does anyone else have any advice/experience in this matter?
