Hello all,

I am very confuse with what cable should I get.  Here is what I have.

Behringer 1222FX mixer --> AMP --> Yamaha BR12

The AMP has CH1 and CH2 for both Input and Output.  For Input, it can take 1/4 or XLR and output is Banana.  (I think)

So, I need XLR(F) to XLR(M) from the mixer to AMP, and Banana(M) to Speakon from AMP to speakers.  Is that correct?  Is the XLR to XLR cable likes the one use for Mic?  Any low budget good cable recommendation.  Thanks.

Well if the mixer & amp has XLR outputs & inputs, then yes use XLR cables (mic cords work fine, just use the shortest run that you need) for that run.  What amp are you running?  It should at least have banana & 1/4" maybe even Speakon if it's a newer type.  The speakers only accept 1/4".  You could go the banana to 1/4" - this would be the cheapest route or you could run 1/4" - 1/4 inch if the amp has 1/4" outputs.  If it has Speakon outputs, i'd go Speakon to 1/4" cables.  
Get at LEAST a 14 guage or lower (in number) speaker cable.  Anything over 25 feet, get a 12-10 guage speaker cable for maximum efficiency.

Thanks.

Do you know anywhere I can get a good short xlr-xlr cable (3 ft) ?  I tried look for it from various online music store and their review are pretty bad on the xlr cables.  Thanks.

Good cables aren't really cheap.  What kind of reviews were you reading?  
http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-CBI-MLN03.html  3' cable
http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-MON-MSLX1.html  3.5' cable
http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-MON-500M5.html  5' cable
For a non-moving connection such as the link between mixer & amp, any of these should do just fine.

Consider placing your amps near your speakers where you can use fat, high quality short speaker cables.....Then use cheaper long mic cables to feed signal to the amps from the mixer....A poor man's snake.

I bought a pair of 50 Mogami mic cables several years ago just for this purpose and they really made all the difference.
