AUDIO CABLES — SELECTION, ROUTING,
AND CARE
The audio connections between your QS and the rest of your studio are your music’s
lifeline, so make sure you use high-quality cables. These should be low-capacitance
shielded cables, with a stranded internal conductor and a low-resistance shield. Avoid

will pick up hum from the AC line.
