    The max distance a usb cable can travel is 5m, you would have to use a repeater device so mixing on the loo would be an expensive experience

    It is a dilema Jester as USB cable are unreliable in long lengths, but I think you are looking at it from the wrong end. I have used some lateral thinking to come up with this solution which means you can do you do do and mix anywhere in the house
