Members RickJ Posted August 1, 2003 Members Share Posted August 1, 2003 Speaker cables? Balanced? I guess if you really had a need for such a thing, they would have to be custom made. Balanced speaker cables are not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you really had a need for such a thing, they would have to be custom made. Balanced speaker cables are not the norm. I think this has to do with another thread about running a crossover with a powered mixer and passive mid/high cabs and powered subs. So they will be going to the powered speaker cab. It wasn't explained here but that is my assumption. He/she considers them speaker cables because they are going to a speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashivraj Posted August 1, 2003 Members Share Posted August 1, 2003 you're right with the cabling. it's all line-level balanced stuff. this stuff can be had from mark (audiopile on this forum) for ridiculously cheap (yet excellent quality). PM or email him for pricing (though it's on his website - http://audiopile.net) AS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tony k Posted August 1, 2003 Members Share Posted August 1, 2003 Another Vote for Mark (audiopile). I've been buying cables from him and Liz for over a year. Great quality and he most likely has or will make whatever you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that wasn't a pro bait and tackle shop? The first two just look like TRS 1/4" to XLR(male and female respectively)and the last one is just a standard mic cable,correct?
