Clearances: There will be a minimum of 1 inch clearance inside all consoles between the top equipment
mounting space and the console top. This is to allow airflow above equipment mounted in the top mounting
position. Provide adequate ventilation grilles to allow continuous cooling in consoles containing equipment.
This should include both supply and exhaust grilles. Provide ventilation adequate to keep temperature
within the rack below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Provide whisper type ventilation fan in each rack if
temperature in rack rises above 85 degrees. This ventilation system must be temperature actuated.
All consoles and racks will have front and rear rack rails separated by at least 24 inches. The rails will be
parallel and square and will conform to EIA RS-310C for 19-inch racks.
Console work surfaces will be finished with a material and color selected by the Consultant and Owner.
Painted and metal panels will be finished with sprayed polyester lacquer, satin finish, and color as selected
by the Consultant and Owner.
Painting:
Surface Preparation: Preparation for painting will involve fine paper sanding and dusting to ensure a
perfectly smooth substrate.
Primer: Sealer undercoat will be spray applied and sanded back using 250 grit. Touch up as needed
and re-sand.
Finish coats will be spray finished in an appropriate spray booth with approved ventilation, humidity
control, dust extraction, and lighting. Finished paint thickness will be 1 mil minimum and will be free
from runs, orange peeling, blooming or other blemishes. Metal panels will have a similar finish using
appropriate metal primer.
3.3 CABLING
Execute wiring in strict adherence to "standard broadcast practices," as excerpted from "Recommended
Wiring Practices," Broadcast Audio Equipment for AM, FM, Television (5th Edition), Radio Corporation of
America (RCA), Camden, N.J. 1962, and Appendix II, "Recommended Wiring Practices", Sound System
Engineering, (2nd Edition), D. Davis, and performed in accordance with standard professional practice.
Take precautions to prevent and guard against electromagnetic and electrostatic hum. For line level audio
signals, float cable shields at the output of source device. Shields not connected to be folded back over
cable jacket and covered with heat-shrink tubing. Do not cut off unused shields.
Exercise care in wiring; damaged cables or equipment shall not be accepted. Isolate cables of different
signals or different levels; and separate, organize, and route to restrict channel crosstalk or feedback
oscillation. Keep wiring separated into groups for microphone level circuits, line level circuits, loudspeaker
circuits, power circuits, video circuits and control/data circuits.
Wiring entering equipment racks will be run directly to equipment. Use of splices or connectors to extend
cabling to equipment will not be accepted. All signal wiring will be continuous and unbroken from connector
plate/chassis to chassis/patch panel. Use of intermediate connections for inter rack cables is not
acceptable. Use of splices or connectors to extend cabling to equipment is not acceptable.
Make joints and connections with rosin-core solder or with mechanical connectors approved by the
Consultant. Where crimp-on terminations are used, trim cable using manufacturer recommendations and
crimp properly with ratchet type tools.
