XLR & plug connections

Post by TamaSabian »

I don´t know exactly what to do with my conections. I want something clean no mic or instrument cables over the carpet. If so I need to go from A to B (in the picture) and from C to B using multipair cable. Then I have to go from B to the mixer XLR or plug connections. I use a delta 1010lt, so I have only 8 channels. How can I distribute my connections???. How many plugs and XLR´s??.
Can I have a wall plate connector in one point and a XLR m/f on the other??. That way I can go directly to the mixer without using a wallplate on B. Hope you can give me some guidelines about how to do it.
Thanks in advance

maybe a couple of audio snakes with floor boxes? you could put in a set of clips overhead to hang the wire on, or on the C side, along the edge of the floor. then it would be easy enough to move the floor box closest to where ever you need mics and keep the mic cables to 8-12 feet.

as far as connecting - you could have XLR patch panels sitting in your console desk or attached to the wall. or prewired to your mixer(s).

Thanks man!
Here in my country those audio snakes are very expensive. That´s why I like the multipair cable alternative. Points A,B and C are ready in my one room studio I have to detach the plates that are covering the holes and then install the connectors. There´s a place here where you can find all kind of audio gear not too many brands but I think I can do and A/B between audio snakes with floor boxes and multipair cable with wallplate connectors. Lower price will decide.
