I see a recommendation from Rowbi above that says no longer than 6 meters, but the another recommedation that says Planet Waves Classic Series (25').

 

I have a Planet Waves Classic Series (25') cable from my HD 500 to a DT 50 Head and it works fine.  I bought a second head and put another Planet Waves Classic Series (25') cable between the heads and it doesn't communicate with the second head.

 

So I am assuming there is a limit to the total distance the signal will carry.  Something less than 50'. 

 

Can anyone tell me what cable lengths they've successfully used to operate two DT series amps together with an HD 500. 

 

I just don't want to keep buying cable to experiment with.

 

Thanks.

I stand corrected.  25' is actually 7.5m long.  It's 20' that's about 6m.

I don't know there's any fixed maximum that I've seen stated, but my point was that if LIne 6 say that planet waves cable works, then you should really have no issues when using them (I bought a 25' and a 10' Planet Waves microphone cable to use.

Zpa's suggestion about checking the update status on the DT's is good.  Also check the output settings on your POD, as that determines what the different DT amps will output.  they don't all do the same thing by default, unless you change the settings on your POD.  hold the view button and scroll down with the 4 way directional pad, and you'll see what the DT's are set to output.
