    Default What cables do you use?

    Hi guys, i'm currently looking to buy TRS balanced cable to connect my KRKs to my scarlett 2i4, but i'm not sure which cables to buy because i keep reading reviews that good cable matters! Also i need a 10ft long USB A to USB B cable to connect my akai keyboard to the computer, which brand do you think is good? Could your also share what type of connection and cables your use as well? Thanks for your input!

    Hmm do you mean the Amazon USB cable? I was considering that too!
    What about TRS balanced cable? I was looking at the HOSA balanced on which are also listed on Amazon, are those good? Thanks again!

    But even when ordering cheap cables, please make sure to have cables that are running the electrons in the right directions. Nothing worse than an audio signal running backwards to your cable.

    I have been using GLS cables for years. I would not have found them on my own. A customer bought a pile of these for a sound system installation I worked on, and I was impressed enough to order them for my own system. I have used them on several installations since then. In all, I have handled about 800 of their cables over the years. Every one worked out of the box.

    For a semi-permanent installation, a "medium duty" mobile DJ, or any home use I would use these without hesitation. For a touring or production company, I would invest in better connectors.
