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.

Look into Audio Envy….I had 30FT RCA, they use OCC copper which is way better than most OFC cables out there. 

+1, @ghdprentice

Send an email or call Captain at Audio Envy. I am certain, you can get better pricing, Your system deserves better cabling than run of the mill Mogami. This is an important link between your preamp / source to amps. Given your incredible system, I wouldn’t compromise here!

“and any recording you have probably went through hundreds of feet of the same cable already) ”
😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
 

 

“I am truly surprised there is anyone suggesting this is the place where a $50 - $100 cable is the appropriate choice. ”

@bigtwin

Nothing to be surprised here, just check out the audio system of folks recommending $1 - $2 per foot. Most folks recommending these cables never mentioned their components nor their system listed here. Your system should allow you to hear differences between the cables, no matter what price point / brand you choose to go within your budget. For the kicks, try a short pair of Mogami/Belden/BlueJeans etc etc and compare it with Audio Envy, Zavfino, Audio Sensibility or Neotech. You will know what to do next :-)

No direct experience with Gotham Audio. It appears 10561 GAC2 designed for microphones in professional applications. If you are pursuing Gotham Audio, look into the GAC-3 10701 designed for audio. Everything I read, points to professional audio applications.
