Live Sound
The maximum distance to control sound mixing depends on how the mixing console is connected —whether wired or wireless. Here's a breakdown of both scenarios: 🎛️ 1. Wired Mixing Control (e.g., Ethernet/USB/Analog Snake) Digital mixers with Ethernet (Cat5e/6/7) : Max distance: 100 meters (328 feet) without a repeater or switch. With network extenders or fiber optics: up to hundreds of meters or kilometers . Analog multi-core snake cables : Typically up to 100 meters (more can result in signal degradation/noise). 📶 2. Wireless Mixing Control (via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) Most modern digital mixers (like the Yamaha TF5 , Behringer X32 , Midas M32 , PreSonus StudioLive , etc.) allow wireless control via tablet/laptop using Wi-Fi. Factors affecting wireless range: Router strength and quality Obstructions (walls, crowds, metal structures) Interference (other Wi-Fi devices, LED walls, etc.) Typical wireless control range: Standard Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) :...
