afterburner1277 Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Hi All, I use Helix stadium as I did with the OG Helix Floor. On the floor and at times on a helix stand on my desk. I notice the Stadium has a protector/shielded plastic cover on the power cable? So, when I use it on my desk, I want to use the OG Helix power cable (missing the protector/shield) and leave the stock Stadium power cable on the floor. Is this, ok? Any input would be appreciated.

jpdennis Posted Saturday at 09:48 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:48 PM "The small, cylindrical component is made of a semi-magnetic material (ferrite) and is placed around the cable to suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI)." ... a quote from a search. Much more succinct than I would have said. The choice is yours, however, my stance is that I would always use the power cord that comes with the Stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterburner1277 Posted Sunday at 02:14 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:14 AM Ty JP. I guess I am going to work with it on the desk position with the stock cable until I get used to it and then move it back to the floor position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos402 Posted Sunday at 04:13 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:13 AM I think it's fine. I have the same situation. Power, MIDI, and USB cables permanently by my desk and then the power cord that came with it stays in the hard case for gigs. I haven't had any issues. If you notice any noise or interference then maybe try the cable that came with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterburner1277 Posted Sunday at 01:09 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:09 PM HI Nos402, I know what you mean, LOL cables are everywhere around here too. I like having the option to keep it on the floor with a permenant cable, and being able to plop it on my desk (especially now) with the Stadium to use the touch screen, and have a dedicated cable from under my desk. I was checking Amazon and Of course found my solution....Ceedmon 20 Pieces Clip-on Ferrite Ring Core RFI EMI Noise Suppressor Cable Clip for 3mm/5mm/7mm/9mm/13mm Diameter Cable, Black....9 bucks and I can go crazy LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
