patch cable help/question
Does anyone know if an 1/8" male stereo to 1/4" male stereo cable
exists? I can't seem to find one anywhere via online sellers or retail (Radioshack, etc) I certainly have the capability through adapters to make this happen but I'm looking to simplify connecting an MP3 recorder to a 1/4" stereo out....i.e. headphone out. Thanks, David |

I can't seem to find one anywhere via online sellers or retail (Radioshack, etc) The usual off-the-shelf solution is to use a 1/8" male-to-male patch cable with a 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor on one end. The cable is very easy to make yourself from an off-the-shelf 1/8" patch cable with one end cut off and replaced with the 1/4 plug. |

I can't seem to find one anywhere via online sellers or retail (Radioshack, etc) Markertek Part number CMS-110. 10 feet long, $6.99 http://tinyurl.com/85hpk I'm kind of surprised that Radio Shack doesn't have it, but I checked the catalog and they don't. If you decide (time, shipping cost, PITA, etc.) to go the adapter route, get a cable with mini plugs on both ends and put the adapter in the 1/4" jack. If you do it the other way, you're likely to bust the jack mini jack from the weight of the cable plus the adapter. |

Or make your own. I certainly have the capability through adapters to make this happen but I'm looking to simplify connecting an MP3 recorder to a 1/4" stereo out....i.e. headphone out.

Everyone seems to use different terminology, regardless of what AES standards are. 1/8, mini, 3.5mm, 1/4, phono, stereo, mono, 2 conductor, three conductor. I spent years buying and building all kinds of cables/connectors, so I'm used to it. Half the guys selling the stuff aren't aware of what it's being called in their own catalogs. :-) BTW, there are much nicer (and more expensive) stereo 1/8-1/4 cables out there that use shielded cable and soldered connectors. Some have right-angle 1/8 ends. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

Just one word of warning. The description of this cable is rather
sparse and some of these stereo mini-phone cables are designed for headphone use and are NOT shielded and will not work for signal lines. I'd try to find a Hosa spec to be sure. I know I had that problem with a cable that I bought for this purpose. It sure LOOKED like a signal cable but wasn't. Benj |

When a line-level source is driving a line with an output Z of 100 ohms or less, IME shielding isn't that much of a big deal. A lot of modern headphone jacks are driven with a source Z of 16 ohms or less. Cable shielding is like a Faraday shield - primarily protects against picking up noise via capacitance. A low impedance line forces significant pickup of noise into the high frequency realms - very high frequencies. Shielding is very relevant for very long lines, very low-level signals and high impedances. But, headphone jacks are none of these. |
