Re: Line out audio over phone cable?



Hello All,

I can attest that you should have absolutely no problems. I am using a
75ft run of twisted pair to run line-level audio from a wireless video
receiver to a computer line input .. and it works perfectly fine .. it
is directly wired to the connectors on either end.

In my case , the bottle neck for quality is the video
receiver/transmitter setup , not the twisted pair- so keep that in mind.

If you do get noise .. maybe try attaching one each of the pair together
in different configurations (I did this without thinking). It is
possible that one of the configurations may help to attenuate the noise
while it travels across the wire.
