IEC power down one side and Audio down the other.

Your success depends, in part, on how the rear panels of your equipment are laid out. Unfortunately, there is no standard as to where the power & audio connectors are located. Some gear has power on the left; other gear has it on the right; a couple things have it in the middle.

But generally, as Adam said, power up one side, audio down the other.

Yeah I bet... only my favorite preamps in the whole world, 16 channels right there in one rack. It's a thing of unearthly beauty. :)

My boss is FINALLY talking about buying us some API and I'm tingling already. I can't live without those pres.

Sorry, I guess I'm rather wildly off-topic. So, to redress the balance, in summary: mains and audio cabling separate = good. :)
