WIRING DETAILS
Here are a few pictures of some details that unless you have
seen them before would leave you wondering what someone was talking about.
First are terminal
blocks. These are heavy duty
junction boxes that house the "splices" for microphone and or speaker
lines. One common application is to splice between microphone inputs
on stage and a multipair snake cable from a mixing console. The first
picture is a 66 "punch" block splice with code rated cabling
hiding on the floor inside a pipe organ chamber. In the second picture we
see a panel mounted to the wall with screw terminal blocks and lots of
conduit.
The third picture shows a recessed floor
pocket. These are heavy duty recessed boxes that hold
microphone inputs, monitor outputs, etc... When closed
they all most disappear.
