Hi Vic

I always get bit nervous about insulation displacement connections having had some bad experience with them when I use to do studio maintenance back in 70-80's.

It's hard to go past a good solder joint if it is done correctly.

If you decide to go with the solderless option, make sure you have a cable support bar so that there is no tension on the connections.

Hi Vic

Just realised that your heading says screw terminal, I looked at the pic and thought it was an insulation displacement connection.

If it's a screw terminal connection it would probably be OK, but I'd recommend a cable support bar which ever option you take.

Hi Vic

I would say.....soldering would be quicker and may give a better long term connection.

These panels would be cool for someone who hates to solder. Is that you Vic?

BTW, How's the CAD factory studio build coming along?

cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the input.
Greg, Yes I believe it does have a cable support bar, but will double check this.

And Ben, Yes, I can't stand soldering, In fact I have once before soldered up an entire studio build and the tought of doing it again fills me with dread !!.

So, I am really keen on these screw terminal connections.

The build is going well, slowly, but well. There's lots of projects on the go at the moment so I am getting to it when I can. I would say the Control Room will be finished in less than two weeks, then will set up gear in there, then get to some other neglected building work for a few weeks, then the start on the live room and booths (the live room will also have a sprung dance floor in it, so I want a few weeks off before starting that one !
