I ran out of standard cables. Any inconvenience in conecting my surround monitors with Mogami AES cables?

....Assuming you are connecting a balanced line level analogue signal that normally takes a standard XLR, I can't see any big downside except that you are wasting the investment.

The "other way" (i.e.- using standard mic cables for connecting AES signals) would, of course, have a pretty big downside with potential for digital ringing, etc.....but I know of no problem using an impedance-controlled cable for connecting a standard LoZ/balanced signal.

It's overkill but some folks actually, as they can afford it, run AES?EBU throughout, as a hedge for future hook ups.

Hi Mudsmith,

Thing is that I still have a Mogami 8 pair snake for an AES conection that never happened here in my studio. So as it's around with no use at all so far, I can't say taht I'm exactly wasting it.
But as you pointed out there's no big problem in doing it. Off course the other way would be another story..

AES cable is fine for analog
