+T to all, thanks for the help;)

These aren't 75ohm are they? Which raises the question, does that matter?

Kevin · « **Reply #6 on:** September 28, 2003, 01:47:06 PM »

The one that im replacing on my 7-pin has a hole in the spdif, why does it have it? Does that right angle at the top on this thread have a hole? does it matter?

Thanks mOK3, for the info and the ticket

zhianosatch · « **Reply #9 on:** September 28, 2003, 01:55:24 PM »

one from me too

Kevin · « **Reply #10 on:** September 28, 2003, 01:55:27 PM »

I went to the shack yesterday and they only had non-right angle spdif and didnt have a hole in it (not sure if it matters or not) its the connection accepts the signal from the minime

zhianosatch · « **Reply #11 on:** September 28, 2003, 01:58:49 PM »

what do you mean by "have a hole in it"? do you mean "a female end"? i just bought a female > male right angle adapter at radio shack two days ago.

Kevin · « **Reply #12 on:** September 28, 2003, 02:02:57 PM »

ill post a pic in a sec, but try to picture this-> the pin thats coming out (male piece of the coax) and if you were to take a needle and poke it with it then that would be the one one there now. Does anyone else have one like this? or do you have ones without this and still recieve a signal from your pre? my 7-pin has an input coax and output coax

zhianosatch · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2003, 02:08:25 PM »

ahhh, ok... sounds like you should be fine runnin' the hole!

you mean running without the hole? the right angle suggestions (switchcraft) doesnt have one. is this ok?

zhianosatch · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2003, 02:15:21 PM »

the hole is not normal.

zhianosatch · « **Reply #16 on:** September 28, 2003, 02:31:41 PM »

All in all, as crazy as all this talk is, Kevin, you'll be fine running hole ornot. It doesn't matter.
+T to Mike as always

Kevin · « **Reply #17 on:** September 28, 2003, 09:27:13 PM »

here it is. ;Dsorry for the whack paint job, let me know if I need to post a real pic, (i will soon if yall need it, im unpacking right now)

Kevin · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2003, 09:51:57 PM »

whats do you mean fit where I need it? (i think I know what you mean-> I need it to fit on a minime spdif)

oh and +T for the help and putting up with my dumb ass

does it fit snugly and completely seated in your s/pdif out?

Thanks for the big T bump!

I had a switchcraft in there (the one im replacing) and it didnt fit snuggly. The reason I need a new one is because i tried to make it fit snuggly and 2 out of the 4 pieces of the rim snapped. But if 2 fit snuggly will it work ok? ( im referring to the outer circle)

Kevin · « **Reply #20 on:** September 28, 2003, 10:50:19 PM »

I broke it with plyers

the only thing thats broken is the spdif (2 of the 4 pieces broke -> the cirlce thats divided in 4ths, the outer one. Im sorry I cant really explain it any better, do you know what im talkin about?

I broke a monster cable rca end once trying to open it a bit!

Cut it off and resolder. I don't know of any other 90* r.a. ends... Good luck

what do you mean (90* r.a end??)
also are you saying to resolder a whole new spdif? or solder the two ends back on? (im assuming a whole new one, but just thought id make sure

Kevin · « **Reply #22 on:** September 28, 2003, 11:13:04 PM »

ok so if I solder the switchcraft RA it will work the same as before right?

Kevin · « **Reply #23 on:** September 29, 2003, 02:39:55 PM »

I called about the connector today and the reason that mine has a hole is because the orginal 3502's had it so people could run the wire up the hole then solder it and let the solder be sucked back down the hole and then cut off the excess solder. Thanks again for all who put up with my bullshit, just wanted to make sure I was getting the right part.

i bought one of those rat shack adapters and found it to be a very loose connection. i played around w/ it at home and it dropped the signal w/ very slight movement.

rabhan · « **Reply #28 on:** September 29, 2003, 10:34:51 PM »

well, i will test this out when i get home in a week.

rabhan · « **Reply #29 on:** September 29, 2003, 10:48:08 PM »

hrmm, maybe i should just make the damn AES rt angled connector....hrmmmm....

what wire to use?

Nick Culbreth · « **Reply #30 on:** September 29, 2003, 10:52:40 PM »

the switchcraft ra connectors are the way to go. ra cables are very easy to make.

I hate there minimums, I tried to get the right angle phono rca gold connector and it was a ten order minimum

Kevin · « **Reply #34 on:** September 29, 2003, 11:45:40 PM »

so your saying even though they have a 10 order minimum they will complete my order of 1??

Nick Culbreth · « **Reply #35 on:** September 29, 2003, 11:54:42 PM »

yep, markertek will ship less than their minimum order.

F.O.Bean · « **Reply #36 on:** September 30, 2003, 02:18:37 AM »

this is just me, but i ordered off of them ONCE,in june i might add, and i still havent gotten the order straight.... ;)they have royally pissed me off.... >:(they sent me 4 pin xlr's, instead of 3...
