<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi again,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for the feedback so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>With regard to wiring panel components back to the main
board - assuming a system has a single pcb in the centre of the system rather
than a pcb per module - do readers prefer to wire all three pins of a pot or
switch (more, of course, if multiple pots or switches) back to associated points
on the pcb or daisy-chain common points at the panel and bring only the
necessary wires back?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The advantage of daisy-chaining I see would be the great
reduction in the cost of cabling required. The disadvantage, the purists would
argue, being the potential loss of signal along the chain or induction of noise
on to the line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The disadvantage of wiring all pins on a pot or switch to
the pcb would be the much higher wiring cost and substantially larger cable
looms. This would, in theory, be offset by improved noise immunity and,
presumably, less `drop across the line'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Audio signals should ideally be screened whilst,
presumably, control signals would be okay on hook-up wire? Would you prefer to
wire a pot or switch with 2 or more audio pins using a 2- or 3-core
screened cable or with individual screened cables?</FONT></DIV>
