I would make my own cables from 16 awg Duelund DCA wire. The wire for a 40' set will cost you $400. A good set of XLR connectors is $100. Sheath material another $100. If you don't have silver solder, another $15.

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.

If you don’t wanna build your own then I agree with @lalitk that Audio Envy is well worth looking into. |
OP,
You have a very nice system. I don’t recommend going bottom tier stuff like Blue Jeans, Belkin,, etc or lower tier like Mogami. My experience with these have been they are no better than what you get free. Maybe do it yourself… but consider saving up. You are talking about a critical run, with very sensitive speakers. Consider the tonal balance and detail of your system. Research and maybe save a liitle. |
