Hello,
I am building a 2 room studio. Currently, the live room is 18'x13' with sloping 8'6" to 11' peak. The double walls are 4" apart using Roxul in both walls. The control room is 20'x20' (may change to 20'x14') with 11' ceilings. I am using 2 layers of 5/8" with green Glue throughout both rooms. This larger room is the control room only because due to codes in my area, I had to flip my plans and not double wall it. I am using RC Channel. I my switch back if it proves to be suitable for live use. My question is I am running 2 sets of 16 channel Mogami cable to 2 sides of the room from control room. I have them in a pic pipe slightly larger than each cable, that is only touching outer leaf. Haven't really found too much in the way of actually running a cable in bare walls pre-drywall and how to secure them for a tight cut around and not have them get messed up. I have 3 ethernet cables 2 cat5, 1 cat6 to a low voltage box on one wall. I will be recording full bands etc. Should I run extra ethernet for headphone mixes and how many? Can I use the Mogami for headphones as well with no interference? I've heard conflicting views.Should I run a whole other 4-8 channel wire just for headphones? Basically, if you were running cable right now, what would you run to make it as future proof as possible? What would you put on the same wall panel so that there will be no interference? I am in the process of deciding on a new interface/mixer so I can't tell you what I'm going to be using when this is done yet.
I am in the process of finishing up anything I need because the drywall guy is coming very soon. Want to make sure I have the wire I'll need in the walls !!!!! Help! Please?
