We have a necessity of about a 18 foot cable run
to one end of a tri-amped system (this is mostly just for rehearsal in the tracking rooms, etc.,)., One side sounded clearly
better than the other (one sounded better than any non-tri-amplified monitor in your face, and the other clearly did not sound as good). With a process of elimination we found out it was the length of the cable and nothing else. We had about 12 ga. pure
copper cables, and I was surprized that did not eliminate the difference.
I changed the 12 ga. runs to 8 ga. monster cable (ya, I know I probably just paid for the name only, but wanted to make sure), and only noticed a very slight improvement.
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION OTHER THAN ELIMINATING THE LONG RUNS?? If you got any ideas, please post them.
Info: bass 0- 100hz or 150hz (or thereabouts)
mids: on up to around 1K
his' rest of the way up. All bass drivers are matching jbl, mids also, and highs standard 2445s or 2425s (if the 2445s are out for some reason),.

I feel like I am also noticing a difference in the highs as well, but I suppose I won't notice it for sure until the lower problem is eliminated.
Gotta go.
