Long RCA or long Speakon cables

[Speedskater]

To a point- if the speaker cable is long enough to cause voltage drop, it's better to use balanced line level and convert at the end.

How do you suggest converting?

The distance is just shy of 50' to the furthest sub. I ordered a 50ft 75ohm subwoofer cable, but I'd honestly rather use either speaker wire or neutrik cable, and put the amps in my rack, like @BMXTRIX said. I'm about to paint my cab and would like to have a clear idea before I do.

Subs are built?! I'd say go with what you've ordered, see if any problems result then deal with it....speaker wire is the same as neutrik cable, neutrik is just a connector brand

Transformer- they're used for converting high impedance mics for low impedance lines and vise-vera. Musical Instrument stores that also sell PA equipment should have them.

Jensen Transformers make some excellent (but pricey) transformers for converting a long balanced run to a unbalanced input.

A less expensive alternative is Edcor but Shure and other microphone manufacturers sell them, too. Mic transformers aren't usually stereo, but they work well.
