[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 89514, member: 103"] Re: Maximum analog snake length I use 350ft snakes all the time. Attached are often 100ft or more subsnakes and 25-50ft mic cables. If the levels of the source are very low, like an SM57 3ft away from the person talking softly, and you have 6 or 8 of them open at once, at times you can get quite a bit of rizz. For R&R it is not usually an issue because you just don't need that much gain for a singer eating a mic, or a drum, or a guitar speaker. If you can get things up to line levels, then it's totally fine. All that being said, getting rid of all the copper, or going digital with a really exceptional desk, makes a huge difference in the perceived quality. Your audience probably won't notice but you might. [/QUOTE]
