Can I use a standard mic cable for digital connection?

guittarzzan · 17th February 2007

I'm trying to get a few loose ends tied up so when I start recording again, I'll be able to keep a smooth workflow. One of the amps I'm using is a Vetta (don't be hatin' my Vetta

), and due to my setup, I need to add about a 4 ft extension to the aes/bu digisnake cable so I can connect the Vetta to the Digi 192.
Can I just take a standard mic cable and use as an extension for my digital connection or am I missing something? ...I usually am.

thx.

For short runs, it'll usually work.
