Video and audio cables... Don't mix?


Do you think I’ll wind up with trouble if I run both audio (speaker cables) & video (HDMI & RCA/S), in the same square conduit (channel)?

The speaker cables are Canare 4S11.

All the wires will be together for about 10 – 11 ft. then the video cables will split off to the PJ.

Or is it really necessary to just run two channels… which is my guess… but not my wish.

I ask only because I’ve heard talk that the Cannare cables geometry is not conducive to exuding or recovering interference, generally speaking.

Lastly, has anyone seen plastic or rubberish, flexible rectangular conduit or channel? I need to span a couple places where rigid conduit simply won’t do. The gap/span overall, is about 8 inches in total.

Thanks very much…

Others with more knowledge will answer this, but since HDMI is fully digital data transfer, it should be very obvious in the picture and sound if there's any interference from speaker or mains power cables.
I would assume such intereference would more likely affect analogue transfer (eg S-video, RGB etc)?
