Topic: microdot wiring!!?

[Gutbucket]

Len built a 2 x male microdot to TRS stereo mini plug 'Y' adapter for me many years ago, allowing me to avoid chopping the dots off my miniature DPAs.  I've build several of my own since then, but that Core Sound 'Y' is still working great.

right- "I have the beasts"

and they are not that frightening at all- I had visions of some terrible metalised-nylon tinsel BPO B-gauge type cable which would be unsolderable but it's not the case at all.

Now I'd prefer I think to leave behind the minijacks but before we come to that, let me ask this-

They have the former described stereo minijacks on them with what appears to be single core screened cable; tip in signal and ring & sleeve are ground. If I was going for the naiant PFA arrangement; would I go for two mono (as ring & sleeve are together) minijack to XLR versions?

That's right isn't it? I don't want an intermediary minijack Y lead before the PFA.

Secondarily- as they appear to be relatively easy cable wise to work with- has anyone- and I don't see this in the PFA option list- replaced microdots with full size XLRs?

That is against convention isn't it? As it suggests straight connection to (potentially) P48 is possible? (if you didn't know what you were doing)

What classically do people leave minijacks on plug-in-power gear for- in terms of an alternative connector??

thanks

oh- thanks Jon-

I couldn't see how to 'add notes' -it just cut to Paypal...

How do you mean 'unterminated' PFAs?

Would you provide the XLR with electronics in it with a flying lead? I just wondered if there was a convention to swap out minijacks for- like Lemos or Mini-XLRs

can you give me a postage quote to the UK? and how long would it take to make such a thing?


I couldn't see a direct e-mail on your site as I don't have the apple mail thing setup on this machine
