Episode Details

Ask ten sources how far you can run an RCA cable and you'll get answers from three meters to two hundred feet — a sixty-to-one spread. This episode digs into what actually limits cable runs: capacitance forming a low-pass filter with your source impedance, common-mode rejection in balanced lines, and the counterintuitive fact that loud line-level signals are harder to drive long distances than tiny mic signals, because current — not voltage — is the constraint. Along the way: why audio cables are not transmission lines, why a single article can contradict itself about the same connector, and the five variables nobody hands you in a table.
