The isolated star ground system is the most popular implementation of technical founding for the purposes of grounding sensitive electronic equipment. This approach has been in practice for many years, and while it is not the perfect solution, it is the solution that presents the least compromises. The current approach as implemented in a number of large installations is described as part of an ongoing AES effort to document appropriate practice with regard to the control of noise in audio systems.
