Choice of Audio Cable

Recommended Posts

I am about to install an Exvist 8.0Mp POE CCTV camera in our village hall to stream meeting to Youtube via RTMP protocol. I need to run a long audio cable from the microphone amplifier at the front of the hall to the camera at the other end as an audio feed and trying to decide on the best cable. I have looked at various cable types including pre-made with included 3.5mm jacks on each end to rolls of cable. The lead will run in some large timber boxing down the side of the room and will be adjacent data and mains cable so it really needs to be screened to reduce any pickup. I am looking on the well known auction site and equally well known large online retailer and there are various versions:-

In each case one end will be terminated in a 3.5mm stereo jack to go into the camera and a 6.3mm jack or XLR plug

Trying to keep the price of install as low as possible but don't want problems with hum or pickup on audio so any advice would be appreciated.

Why are you running cable ….. you don’t need to feed cable

Sorry Only just seen this as not getting notifications of posts.

I am using te camera to stream live meetings via rtmp to YouTube which will then be embedded in our website. the cable is to feed audio into the camera as it does not have a microphone and even if it did its too far away from the meeting to pick up all the voices. I am therefore feeding audio output from our microphone amp so its included in the rtmp stream,
