Sorry everyone. I realize this topic has probably been posted a lot,
but through searches, I can't seem to find the exact answer that I'm
looking for. Any opinions would be appreciated.
I can understand the "general" concept of cables.
Instrument cable: shielded, to prevent noise, generally small, as not
"a lot" of current is passing through; example: guitar to guitar amp.
Speaker cable: unsheilded, usually larger diameter for more current
passage; example: PA amp to main speaker.
If my perception I've listed above is incorrect, please forgive me and
enlighten me.
But if I have the right concept, please answer which cable to use:
1)From mixing board to power amp - instrument(sheilded) or
speaker(unsheilded)?
2)From mixing board to effects processor - instrument or speaker?
3)From monitor amp to mixing board - instrument or speaker?
4)From guitar amp line out to mixing board - instrument or speaker?
5)From bass amp line out to mixing board - instrument or speaker?
