I plan to install headset jacks for pilot and copilot in the panel. I have an aerosport center console and plan to run the rear passenger jacks through the tunnel up into the back of the console. My plan was to provide standard mic and phone as well as Leno plugs. I will likely exclusively use the Lemos but wanted standard plugs too just to have them.
I’m considering now also running the Lemo plugs for the pilot and copilot to the center console and have the plugs within the storage box. There is really not enough room to put two full sets of standard jacks and lemos in there, so the regular plugs are staying on the panel.
So my question - typically I see Lemo jacks immediately adjacent to the HS jacks. My run from the panel HS jacks to the center console Lemo plugs might be about 8-10ft. Is the distance an issue if I’m using shielded wire? My understanding from other posts is that I would connect the Lemo shield to the HS shield and then ground to the audio panel backshell and leave the shield floating at the plug ends.
Alternatively, is it possible or preferred to just splice the Lemo plug to the Phone and Mic wires at the audio panel? It would be similar to a canbus splice and would significantly shorten the distance of the Lemo wires.
