Hi all,
I am getting active speakers for my left and right surround. As such, I need to run longer RCA - XLR cables from my AVR to the speakers (XLR in only). Ideally, I need a cable that is 12 meters long, worst case I can make it work with 9 meters.
What is the maximum length I can use if I buy properly shielded cables? For my fronts I use the monoprice https://www.monoprice.eu/products/m...16awg-gold-plated?_pos=4&_sid=9b1be4bb0&_ss=r but the longest one they have available is just 4.5 meters.
I was about to go the route of custom made cables from a local music shop but the guys said that even 9 meters of such unbalanced cable is pushing it.
Can you help with some guidance and perhaps give me some suggestions for decent cables (not snake oil) I can get in Europe? Or suggest some of the cable I should by by the meter and have it custom made.
