Title: What length cables for SBD patching?¿??
Post by: macacopowa on July 27, 2005, 05:51:19 PM

Hi all, i'm planning to do any matrix about aud+sbd and i don't know what is the normal length for SBD patching, i have a rca<mini stereo of 1.5meters (5 ft) and i think that is too much short, any opinion from the experts, i never did any SBD patch??  ;D

I used to carry around some 15 footers if I recall but I bet if you show up early 1.5 meters would be alright... you should be able to get out of the engineer's way with that

have fun!

i normally had a very short cable, that was only about 2 feet. i leave my recorder on the mixing desk, and go run my mics. i run back over to the desk every now and then to check it, but mainly leave it alone.
