ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area What harm in no grounding electrode?

There is an old rule of thumb that you are taught early on when doing commercial sound work. "when the ground is down, don't stick around" If said with the proper accent it rhymes. Electronic equipment can be very sensitive to this sorta thing. Many components actually use the ground as more than just a safety device. If I was the H.O., I would be mad as heck at whoever installed that.
