Question about audio and power cables

Im currently wiring up the new electric system for my studio (good cables, 20A brakers, star gounding etc)
In the control room, by luck, the conduit that will have the snake cable, is running parallel with the conduit having the 220v cables for the electric outlets.
A friend of mine told me that if they are not touching, they can run parallel no problem (which they are not. both conduits are like 15 cm apart)
Am i ok?

Edit: To make it more specific, both conduits are parallel through a brickwall wall, through two different holes. That means, they are not parallel in a freestanding situation (in other words, parallel, but separated by 15cm of brickwall)

The 2 papers are different edits on the same subject.

or a long version of the same paper

Doesn't look like spam to me :shock:

I believe speed was trying to help you by directing you to two informative articles on electric installations.
