# Connecting to the Inputs of the JET Stream

The input connectors are XLR & ¼” combo jacks which can accept balanced and unbalanced input signals.  
  
When your speaker cabinet is further away than 15’ from your modeler, we recommend using either ¼” TRS or XLR balanced cables. This will reduce any stray noise that may be picked up on the input cables. Make sure your modeler is capable of sending a balanced signal to eliminate any stray noise.  
  
If your speaker cabinet is within 15’ of your modeler, standard ¼” mono (TS) cables can be used to connect to the JET Stream. Running mono/unbalanced cables longer than 15’ run the risk of losing signal integrity and possible high end frequency roll off may occur.
