tomcat1624705867 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Hi I am going to experiment placing my SW next to my listening position which is approximately 32 ft (not direct route) of cable length required! Read in Hsu research website that placement at that position may provide better upper bass impact. Just like to check with experts will this 'long' run affect signal (performance) in any way! ??? Want to find out expert opinions before forking out some $ for the cables. Btw, how much is a budget mono-RCA interconnect, wif a splitter, of about 30 ft long? Many thanks in advance. Cheers
vink Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 When you placed order for any of their subs they offer to sell you a 20ft length of interconnect cable to go with your purchase. So not sure whether that's an indication of the max cable length. Think you would get a better response if you enquire from them directly. They seemed very responsive and helpful too.
tomcat1624705867 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Hi Vink Thks for your reply. Oh I'm not buying from Hsu. Way over my very pathetic budget! :-[ Hv a Wharfedale 10". Just want to experiment around. :) Cheers
synthesis1624705793 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Subwoofer placement and setting (vol, x-over, phase) give much greater effect than cable quality/length. 32ft is not so bad. You can try 'direct route' first if you have cable laying around.
tomcat1624705867 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 try with some cheap cable first la Yup, probably so! Dropping by LHS look see. :) Thks

Half way only! :( Any bros staying in the east kind enough to loan? :) Kopi on me. :D Cheers

synthesis1624705793 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Belden 1694 is rather stiff, it maybe difficult to put in a trunking with tight bend. If it is for your LFE channel, you can just get 5m thicker Daiyo interconnect available in many places, split the cable to 10m and get a connector to join.

FookLai Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 You can also buy canare cable for the sub, I think it is more flexible than the belden 1694a and equivalent as good. Fook Lai

FookLai Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 If I am not wrong, it should be $3 to $4 per meter, the model I got last time should be L5CFB, not sure they still have it or not. Fook Lai Sound expensive. But I'll have a look see. :) Thks & Cheers
