Members J.Paul Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 I need to run my cabinet offstage (about 40' or more) for isolation.What's the rule for preventing signal loss??I understand that if I use Speakons I can get up to 100' w/out signal loss (but then I have to have my cabinet routed for them as well as my amplifier out.....blah blah).What's Steve Lukather do? What's John Sykes do? Can I use 1/4" connections up to a certain length w/out signal loss?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i've understood, it's not the cable connectors, but the cables "cross-sectional area" which determines the possible length of the cable run without signal loss. There are formulas to calculate this kind of stuff, but i haven't used those since high-school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members etcetera Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think they use an "isolation cabinet" which is a speaker in an closed cabinet with a microphone. You can stand right beside these cabs and cannot hear them. It would not seem very isolated if you just run your speaker cab on the side of the stage. You should not get much signal loss with either connections. The sound guys over at "Live Sound and Production" can give you expert advice.
