If you have balanced (XLR) interconnects then no problem at all. If you have coax (RCA) connectors then it depends how much noise they pick up from the environment (hum etc), and the ability of the pre to drive a capacitive load. Best advice is probably to give it a go and see. There's no need to match the interconnect lengths, in fact I'd keep each one as short as possible.
How long is too long for interconnects?
I'm looking at upgrading the audio in my photo studio. I have some position limitations due to the lighting gear etc.
Would it be a bad thing if I put my source and pre-amp up on a shelf and ran interconnects to monoblock amps located at the speakers? The lengths would be about 8 feet to the closest speaker and 12 feet to the furthest; I guess it'd be best to then purchase 2 x 12 foot interconnects, right?
Any/all thoughts/advice greatly appreciated!
