Shorter the cable, the better. I use 3ft cables for my equipment so the sound has less to travel.

Back in the day I would use twiz sticks to roll up my cables like that. I don't recall having any EMF issues but thats if the cable is bare naked and without its rubber coating, the sound however will get lower and lower over time.

Only cables I have that are >3ft are balanced. Like output of my mixer to my audio interface, or a mike cable.
And MIDI cables, but length on those is virtually irrelevant.

Is there anyone more versed in electrical matters who could lay the facts out?



If you aren't doin it with mic cables it shouldn't be a problem if you're sending audio signals. digital can be a bit more sensitive to it but well shielded cables and good grounds should be enough
