So,
what's with these pictures, and what can they mean for you?
Their purpose is to show a solution to a very basic need for
any studio - reliability, which may be guaranteed only after
a proper design and build. You will experience satisfaction
in knowing you are secure - what to expect EVERY time
you make a physical patch or wired connection. The fact is
we are passionate in our level of commitment to our work and
It shows. For you, it means the kind of quality that translates
to the security that only comes from reliability.
Cane Audio Systems
is primarily a custom wiring shop. We specialize
in using all kinds of materials such as copper, steel, aluminum,
plastics, rubber, wood, and custom molding resins for the
fabrication of products, primarily as support structures,
that are far more intricate than may appear at first glance.
We have the motivation and resources to be truly committed
to the use of such materials. We strive to master the art
of multi-media (by its original definition). This is custom
fabrication, and few shops or vendors still provide our level
of detail.
As
an example, please inspect the interface system that we designed
and built for NYC's (former) Smythe and Company's (Smythe
Music) Studio A. It is a completely custom built assembly,
as can be seen on this site, on the page. "Studio
Wiring". What is first evident, is the use of
ADC -QCP™ punchdown frames, but what is NOT seen is the
steel. wood, rubber, and resin subassembly that IS the very
backbone of why this project is what it is. This interface
is often subject to various levels of vibration, from potentially
high SPL audio (as it is a control room) to foot traffic,
and most significantly, day in and day out use.
The
assembly is mounted within a structure that consists of layers
of various woods, resins and rubber, all of different durometers.
This determines its ability to either be resonant or not and
therefore not susceptible to vibrations. The all steel rack
assembly - frame, panels, hardware and rails, that support
the punchdown panels are potted in 2" of epoxy, acoustically
isolated from the base. The photos (Please click
here
) will show the rest. Remember that this was a real world
solution, expected to be invisibly there and working - 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, period.
Please
note that in the work seen on this site, with few exceptions,
every metal panel, enclosure or device has been individually
machined, tooled, painted and labeled by us. We are strict
about finishes and coatings, and their resilience. We use
a proprietary finishing and labeling system that have withstood
the test of time and what matters most is longevity and that
translates to confidence in use. Please see our attention
to labeling cables, as all are needed to withstand life in
a a rugged environment (and this means every cable and
assembly we build), and still be as legible as when new. We
use custom protective plastics for labeling that provide great
clarity over time. You do owe it to yourself to see. Please

for examples. Thanks for coming by, and please take a look
around.
