AES standard on interconnections – Grounding and EMC practices – Connection of cable shields within connectors attached to portable balanced audio cables

Project scope: This standard specifies requirements for, and summarizes general considerations relative to, the connection of cable shields within connectors attached to portable balanced cables for the transmission of audio, taking into account measures commonly necessary for the preservation of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) at both audio and radio frequencies. This standard shall apply to all portable cables not integral to equipment. This standard does not apply to fixed connector panels, portable connector panels, jack fields (patch bays), nor to microphone splitters. This standard does not address issues of safety.
