Topic: Do minime's have A touchy spdif connection?

you could easily run both of them in one bag.  w/all kinds of room for a deck, batteries, mics..etc.
you just access stuff via the side.  if you wanted, you could run the bag vertically too, so it would be facing you.
I prefer to "set it and forget it", then just check levels on the deck to make sure everything is running smoothly.

im running mine right now nak rx505>kindkables>mme>kindkables coax>mt and its fine...although the connection of the coax isnt as 'tight' as some.  never had a prob with it locking the signal to the mt/mini me/DAT...

i like the aes/ebu option....where can i score a non right angle aes>coax or an adapter?  my aes is right angle and for my app (desktop) its not practical.

I've got one. PM me if interested.

Well, I finally got bit a couple of times by this flakey female SPDIF connector on my mini-me.  What do I have to do to fix it, and what causes the bad connection?

I already tried an AES/Spdif attenuated transformer, but my D8 won't accept a pro signal (gives me the bogus "Tape Protect" error).  I'm stuck........

Gonna get a new RA Male RCA put on my patch cable, give that a whirl first......

IME the MME has a more recessed jack. I could not get my Zaolla spdif to lock on. The barrel was not long enough to get all the way to the plug effectively.

had the same problem running MME > spdif > MT... for a long time, i thought it was the MT, but i figured it out after many incomplete recordings  no problems running out of the aes though

Ahhh, I can't lock onto the AES, even properly attenuated, with a D8.

Anyone properly repair or replace the jack?  Would Apogee fix this?

strange, i used the AES out of both my AD500E & AD1000 > D7/D8, but never tried with the MME...not sure what the difference is...

i sent mine to Nick (schoepsnbox) to have some custom knobs put on the trim pods.  When he got it open he noticed the rca digital output had bad solder joints.  He took care of that for me.  I knew there was an issue, thats why I had Ed (kind kables) make me a AES>RCA cable.  I bought the mme from YS and the spdif went loose and started shorting out the second show
Apogee said they would fix it, but finding someone here might be faster....

[capnhook]

Well, took the plunge and called Apogee, got a RMA#, and sent it in.  I'll keep you updated.  Supposed to have a ten business day turnaround.

(Mine actually acts as if the female RCA SPDIF on the minime does not grip the center pin on any of my SPDIF cables properly.  I hope they have a good fix....)
