Hi everyone.
I bought a pair of krk rokit 8 g2 and an audio interface, focusrite saffire pro 14.
I have a RCA and XLR inputs on monitors, and in the focusrite saffire pro 14 have jack outputs to connect with the monitors.
I saw that the XLR is better than RCA, but i dont know the best quality/price cables that i can buy, the speakers are 1m from the audio interface, i am talking about the distance because of the balanced and unbalanced cables.
What should i consider on the cables?
if you know some good cables with a good price and can give me a link or the name of them, will be great.

Where are you located (so we can give you a local link in your currency)?

IMO if your speakers are that close to the interface then balanced vs unbalanced doesn't really matter.

If I were you I'd just buy a typical pair of TRS jack to XLR cables

I will buy in amazon uk.
I can spend about 15€ per cable.

You could use these

Or these

Thanks for the help, i am considering the 2º link, both are full compatible with krk rokits and my audio interface, correct?

if i bought the second link cable, it will give me a good sound quality transport?
I really want clear sound, the best that i can have with my monitors and my audio interface, i dont want to be limited by a pair of cables.

If anyone have others advises, opinions, etc, it will be great for my choice.

Thanks

It doesn't really matter if you use XLR or jack at the Rokit end, because both inputs connect to the same place.

With short cable length like this, I don't think you'll experience any issues with sound quality.
