RCA (L/R) to mini (1/8 inch)?
« on: September 28, 2011, 12:58:47 PM »
Hi all,

I apologize for what is definitely a redundant topic.  I am recording from the soundboard at a venue in NY soon and was told that "All you’ll need is an RCA (L/R) to mini (1/8 inch) cable to grab the feed from our board."  Can anyone link me to something on amazon or other site that is somewhat inexpensive?  I was looking online before but was getting confused with all of the different kinds of cables and don't want to accidently purchase the wrong one.  Thank you!

^ Pretty much tells you everything you need to know. 

A right angle connector at your recorder input can be nice because the torque that's put on the cable when it gets pulled on doesn't necessarily automatically work to pull the connector out of the socket.  With a right angle connector, it's also convenient to put a rubber band around both my handheld recorder and the cable.  This provides ample stress relief on the connector and socket for any cable pulls that may occur, since you're pulling on the rubber band instead of putting stress on the connector/socket combo, not to mention helping to keep the cable from being pulled out.

The sticky at the top of this section covers it even better.

"Every time I see a group of teenagers gathered around an iphone laughing at some youtube video, I walk up to them, slap the iphone out of their hand, get right up to them nose to nose, and scream at the top of my lungs:

TAKE A LOOK

IT'S IN A BOOK

READING FUCKING RAINBOW."

+1 to Monoprice.  Cables have never let me down.  Just picked up this exact cable (3' version) for just over $5 shipped to Toronto, Canada (cheaper than ANYWHERE ELSE I could buy from and had it in a week).
