For line level audio signals, float cable shields at the output of the source device and provide ground at the input of the destination device. 2. All wire, after being cut an stripped, shall have the wire strands twisted back to their original lay and terminated by approved solder or mechanical means. No bare wire ends are acceptable. Fold shields, not connected, back over the cable jacket and cover with heat shrinkable tubing. Dress the shield or drain wires with heat shrink tubing. Install heat shrinkable tubing over the junction of the fan-out and outer jacket. 3. Isolate cables of different signal types or levels.
