So I need some advice regarding correctly and properly wiring up the electrical parts of the system, specifically correctly and safely grounding both electrical and signal.
From my reading so far, I should connect the ground wire from the IEC socket to bare metal on the chassis. And on the XLR socket, the ground (Pin 1 I believe) should also make direct contact with bare metal on the chassis and I shouldn't bother connecting Pin 1 to the input buffer. But I see that for example the SMPS power supply also has a screw next to the socket for the A/C wires to which I could connect a ground wire (I saw at least one build on here that did so).
I have so far also been shaving off the anodization where I've drilled holes for attaching components to the base plate, so that the screws make direct contact with bare metal (and thus probably also provide some form of grounding for every component).
Are all my assumptions correct so far? Am I missing anything?
