I working with a different band tonight. The guitar player says he uses a DI box with a Pad to take his speaker level and convert it to XLR mic level. I have no problem with doing it but my question is this.What is the correct cable to use between the amp and DI? The amp has a 1/4 speaker out. The amp is also loaded to a cabinet but he wants to use the DI as well as a microphone for recording.Should it be an unbalanced 1/4 to 1/4 shielded cable? Or a regular speaker cable.I realize because of the DI impedance load a high power speaker cable is not needed but which would be correct?Maybe it won't matter at all?Thanks for any input.Douglas R.
