Members banddad Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have a variety of lengths - too many. If I was starting out now, I'd go with 15' and 30' lengths. Some go with all 25 footers: never any confusion that way! Audiopile is good bang for the buck.In general: I'd recommend cables with Neutrik branded connectors, and avoid that "M$$" brand.

Members NUSound Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 http://audiopile.net/products/Mic_Instr_Cables/Mic_Cables.shtml +1 [/thread] I'd say the most common cables in my arsenal are between 25 and 40 feet. If you're setting up and tearing down on a regular basis, sub-snakes are your friends. They will let you keep most of your cables at the 25 foot or under mark.

Members JIM683 Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 What cables would you recommend to connect my Active PA speakers to my board using XLR are you mixing from stage? using a snake? I ask because that will help determine the length needed. For my active speakers, I go from the snake box to the speakers, one cable is 25' and the other is 75', they are the blue audiopile pro quad. I use the blue so I won't mix them up with my other mic cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
