I found flexible plastic corrugated hose for wires at Lowes. It works fine. Black, not pretty. The HDMI is several very small wires, the video single ended should be shielded. Although it is theoretically not ideal, I doubt you will see or hear the difference. My concern would be more for interference with the video display more than on the speaker cables. In that case you will see the difference, but I doubt it. The 4S11 will reject some interference due to its quad geometry. I have it running through walls and around some AC lines with no noticeable effect, albeit in a smaller and less resolving system. Try it that way first and see if it makes a difference.
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…
