Anybody have a suggestion on the *best* way to wire a consumer grade
keyboard with only a balanced stereo headphone output to mixer?

Balanced stereo jack TRS to *TWO* unbalanced jacks TS using Canare star
quad L-4E6S.


** As others have said, stereo headphone jacks are not TRS balanced. The signals are a "stereo pair", at a level that requires a line input.

You need an adaptor lead like the one in fig 10, made using regular twisted pair mic cable long enough to reach easily to the mixer.

At the twin plug end, sneak one signal PLUS a short ground wire out the back of one mono plug to go to the other.

Twist the wires and sleeve them with plastic tube before fitting into the plug.
