About Audio Cables - Alesis Masterlink ML-9600 Reference Manual

1.5 A A
BOUT
The connections between the MasterLink and your studio are your music's lifeline. Use only high
quality, low-capacitance, shielded cables with a stranded (not solid) internal conductor and low-
resistance shield. Although quality cables cost more, they make a difference. When routing cables:
Do not bundle audio cables with AC power cords.
Avoid running audio cables near sources of electromagnetic interference such as transformers,
monitors, computers, etc.
Do not place cables where they can be stepped on. Stepping on a cable may not cause
immediate damage, but it can compress the insulation between the center conductor and shield
(degrading performance) or reduce the cable's reliability.
Avoid twisting the cable or making sharp, right angle turns.
Never unplug a cable by pulling on the wire itself. Always unplug by firmly grasping the
plug's body, and pulling directly outward.
Although Alesis does not endorse any specific product, chemicals such as Tweek and
Cramolin, when applied to electrical connectors, are claimed to improve the electrical contact
between connectors.
