I'd look for foil shielded multipair cable, more pairs than you need

don't get unreasonable. If you're really thinking forward, you might want to
consider running digital-capable cable (100 ohm twisted pairs) in case you
should want to run AES/EBU through it some day. Belden 9732 is 9 pairs
with Beldfoil shields, 100 ohm nominal impedance, #24 wire.

thanks that makes sense



If 100 feet is enough for your run and want to save some money and time,
you
might want to look for a used snake. You'll probably need to cut off the
"squid" end
to be able to pull the cable through the wall and then re-solder it in
the "control
room" but you can attach the stage box end to the wall and you'll have your
connectors at the "stage" without a mess.



that's a great idea, I think that's probably the winner. I really
only need about 50 feet- I could get a stage snake and mount the box
to the way, cut off the fantail, run the snake to the new location
upstairs and solder the pairs to a wall plate. that cuts the
soldering in half and gives a real clean job. good idea!

thanks for everything everyone,
