Holy crud yes there is a risk of wrecking your equipment if you get one bad power surge/pop that gets through your lineconditioner and has no where to go (b/c ground is absent) but out through your gear (it's worse if you only use surgeprotectors, -everything- in our studio runs off lineconditioned ups'd power, (IT guy talking here))....never have computers or anything like like that ungrounded....it'll work fine, but it's only a matter of time before your rig gets popped...
maybe try to find a socket in another room and use an extension cord? peace -LOS ----- Original Message ----- From: "alpher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:25 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: ground vs. ungrounded power? > If some of your equipment requires a ground then there may be a risk of > electrocution if it is not grounded and there is a malfunction. > > al > > -----Original Message----- > From: Trust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 29 January 2002 03:57 > To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List > Subject: [dnb-prod] ground vs. ungrounded power? > > X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 > > Do to an abrupt changing in living situation i am being forced to > temporarily set up my studio in a room that has no grounded (3 prong) > electrical outlets.
