Really Long XLR


Looking to move my front end gear to the side wall in a new listening room.  If I don't want cables running across the floor in front in my speakers etc., then I'm going to need a set of XLR interconnects in the 40 - 45 foot range.  Wondering what other members have done and what cables have been selected for a very long run.  Obviously the companies asking $$$$ for a one meter set are not in the running.  All suggestions are welcome.  Not afraid to build my own if anyone has had great experience with bulk XLR cable.  Thanks.

Rather than a counterfeit from China, buy lamp cord from Home Depot. 

 

You do realize we are talking about signal wire?

 Markertek will make you whatever you want. Canare and Belden....

ooooh, that's good to know, @winoguy17 !!

I’d use wall/floor mounted plugs and run Mogami or Belkin. This way you can keep the cabling 100% out of the room.

Otherwise, make your own with Mogami or Belkin, shielded is a must at these lengths, and Neutrik connectors.

Besides Parts Express, Parts Connexion (for connectors) you should see what Markertek has.  They often have good discounts on Mogami.
