I’m about to order a vocal booth and was wondering, how such a setup would look like from a cable perspective. I’m in a smaller room and have my sound interface hooked up to my computer.
What would I need now:
I would need to run an XLR cable from the my interface into the booth and into the mic.
I would need to run a cable from my interface output back to the booth for talkback.
Now my question is, what kind of wiring is used for talkback? Do I connect a jack cable to an out on my interface (it has a built-in talkback function) and then run this jack cable into the vocal booth? There, I would need an adapter to connect the male jack cable to the male jack of the headphones. Right? Simple.
Are you forgetting audio send to the booth?
I would think a stereo feed to the booth could carry audio/click/talkback,
and the XLR cable would carry mic output [mono] to audio input on the interface
Thanks. I think we’re on the same page, maybe I just wrote it in a complicated way. But specifically the cables from interface => booth. What is used here? Thick jack cables? Or thin cinch cables? Or are there 15m headphone cables (mini-jack)?
These are 3-wire balanced line cables.
Cinch are 2-wire unbalanced, which will pick up interferences.
Why don’t you just make your own cables? I don’t think I even used a off-the-shelf cable for hard-wiring equipment.
Usually because we alaways pass through a patchbay …
OK, but to get a stereo signal in the headphones in the booth, I have to get 2 balanced cables out of the interface and then have some kind of adapter that puts it together for a headphone.
Can be something simple, to something more sophisticated where the vocal talent can make his/her own mix from the cue sends you are providing. And then obviously you will need to feed more channels to your headphone amp.
