Cabling Questions???

Post by The Blue Letter »

I am wiring up my new rig, and I know enough to keep my signal cables away from my power cables to prevent interference. But how about my MIDI cables? Do they need to be kept away from my signal cables too? and how far should they be from my power cables? I know the MIDI cable I am using is shielded quite well, so interference probably won't be an issue, but just wanted to check to see if anyone has any suggestions. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.

I usually opt to keep the MIDI cables away from the audio cables when possible. Although, I've never had any problems when forced to run them next to audio cables. The MIDI cables should be totally fine next to power cables.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I am pretty much done with the MIDI cables now... about to start the signal cables. I am really stoked on getting my rig finally finished. Thank you for all your help and patience through this.
