Cable length between TV and amp

Jan 13, 2006 2 Replies

Is there a practical limit to the length of the audio cables between a TV set and the suround-sound amp? Would there be any problems with having the TV on one wall with the amplifier on a shelf about three metres away? Your advice would be appreciated.


For most intents and purposes - no, unless your TV does not like driving long lines which is very unlikely. Presumably it would have a proper line driver for the audio outputs.

No problem at all. 3m is easy peasy. Pre-made audio cables typically come in 1m, 3m, 5m, and 10m lengths or more.
