Replace the cable between the geophone and digitizer

Dear Community,

May I know if I replace the cable between the geophone and the digitizer with a longer cable? Will it affect the signal?

Thank you very much!

Best,
Yan

Hello Yan:

Thank you for your message.

Yes, indeed this will affect the signal and is not recommended. Any cable (shielded or unshiedled) longer than ~20 cm will act as an antenna picking up and amplifying cultural noise.
