Long distance
Hey all,
Im in the wonderful process of building up my studio, but i came to one halt. I decided im gonna have the control room inside my house, and the drumms/amps ect outside in my musicroom, (built onto the side of my house), Laying the cables long distance aint a problem, but then i tought getting 40ft mic cables will be a bit of a task!. So then i was thinking 10ft cables from the mics. 10ft cable ----> Connector ---> 30ft ---> Mixer But what is the name of the connector i should be using, is this a patch bay? and will this effect the sound? thanks - Idgeit

Perhaps you're looking for a snake?

A good patchbay shouldn't alter the sound at all, it should sound like straight wire.
As far as your cable question, if you are laying mic cables, then you would be using XLR connectors.

At the other end is your XLR male connectors to hook to your mixer. Pretty simple deal, yes it seems as though you need a snake for microphone use. Might be handy to get some 1/4" sends as well. War

a snake is just a bunch of cables bundled together
a patchbay.............oh gosh http://www.homerecording.com/patchbay.html http://www.auxbuss.com/kbase/Patchbays_explained.php I would most highly suggest here http://www.behringer.com/02_products...X2000&lang=eng download the manual. It will explain how to use it, with pictures and everything.
