[Chipotle]

Not directly related to recording acoustic guitar, but I finally got some monitor speakers for my small home studio (Presonus Eris E5 fwiw), and when I plugged them in, the noise induced in them from all the other computer equipment on the same outlet was horrible.

It's an old house--like ungrounded knob-and-tube wiring old. Only two outlets in the room, on the same circuit, already handling a bunch of gear: computer, monitor, printer, external drives, router, computer speakers, humidifier and humidistat. What a racket!

For now, problem solved by running an extension cord from another room (outlet on same circuit). Peace and quiet.

Aside from the fact that the room needs more outlets anyway, are there any best practices for wiring a studio? Should I run a new circuit from the breaker box? Tips for what gets plugged in together? Thanks in advance!
