Quick Question - XLR Cables
 
Can you get these in both Anologue and or Digital?

Or are all cables with XLR connections just the same?

Its for a mixer to monitors connection.
AES/EBU Digital.

Cheers

As far as i can tell AES/EBU is the same as pipelight and uses an optic cable.
XLR is just balaced analog cable.
dont take my word on this tho.

Thanks for the feedback... I think your right on the XLR's

I've now gone for Digital Coax for the Mixer to monitor connection.

AES/EBU is not the same as lightpipe.

AES/EBU is pro standard, balanced digital connection, used for long runs, as opposed to S/PDIF (Coaxial) which is consumer level, Un-balanced digital, only suitable for very short runs.

AES/EBU looks the same as XLR but IT IS NOT. If you have the option of using AES/EBU over S/PDIF coax, you should use the AES/EBU, but NOT with normal XLR connections...

Goo luck!
