Hi all, I'm wiring up a studio and want to put speaker cables for passive speaker cabinets in booth chambers. Im not sure what wire is ok for that purpose... typical speaker parallel  wire is ok? there may be crosstalk betwhen normal  line or mic level and speaker lines that are runing parallel to the connectors box?
Thanks ;)

i'd use speaker cable, speaker level through mic lines can affect damp factor. Power wattage should guide you for wire gauge used.

Here you have links to speaker gauge info and online calculators:

Thanks! these links are useful  :)  Its safe to have power and line wires go toghter to the connectors box in booth chamber? I guess there is no problem if the line signals are balanced...

Thanks!

I wouldn't run them together, by principle would always separate them as much as I could.
But saying this I've seen that made and I could record anyway.
