Robert Buncher Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I have been using Redco TSG-1 cable for audio bag interconnections for a number of years based off of Eric Toline’s recommendation. I’m going to be connecting AES wireless to a Sound Devices XL-AES and see that Redco now carries a digital cable TSG-D1. I’m wondering if this is a different cable from the TSG-1 and if I can just use the non-digital cable on a very short run? I’ll probably call Redco but they aren’t open until Tuesday. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 AES digital cables are 110 Ohms and slightly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmac Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 The TGS digital cable has a lower conductor to conductor capacitance. That can play a significant difference dependant on signal frequency and length of run. Likely better to query Sound Devices for your use case.

Robert Buncher Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 I guess I’ll just get the digital cable. I had wanted to make the cables today but will wait until I get a shipment from Redco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I will say from my personal experience i used to be a hyper-stickler about analog cable for analog and digital cable for digital but as long as your making cables for bag or cart not 25’ or long cables etc i have found that standard analog cable works perfect for digital runs. I used mogami thin cable for multi pin digital i/o 24” max and zero issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Buncher Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 Thanks osa, the digital cable will be here tomorrow so I’ll just go with it. I have read that analogy cable is fine for short bag runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
