As many of our manuals indicate, "(each piece of equipment) must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system or other equipment grounding conductor."

The Voltair has a ground lug on its rear panel for proper grounding.

For ground sources, we recommend, in order of preference:

1. “Station Ground,” the heavy copper strap found in the walls and floors of many radio studios
2. AC Safety Ground — the “3rd prong” of a nearby outlet
3. A bonded electrical conduit

> [!NOTE]
> #12 AWG GREEN stranded wire is the minimum wire gauge acceptable for grounding Telos Alliance branded equipment.
