A Question of Cables

[AnimobileAWS]

OK, I intend on purchasing a Behringer XENYX 802 mixer and MAudio Audiophile 2496. What I want to know, is what cables am I going to need to connect this stuff. I have a mic and mic cables, and a MIDI keyboard and MIDI cables, but what exactly do I need to get the mixer connected to the soundcard?

Thanks

It depends on which outputs you plan to use. More than likely you will need 1/4"-to-RCA cables as the analog outputs on the mixer are probably 1/4" and the analog inputs on the 2496 are RCA.

will a dual cable (http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--HOSCPR20) work the same as 2 single cables?

Sure those would work, but HOSA cables are not known for durability. If you don't plan to move them around much they'll be fine. But if you're gonna be patching and repatching them, you'll want something a little more sturdy.
