Topic: coax modsbm-1>JB3?

[bagtagsell]

I've got a female coax on my sbm-1 need to get it to a mini optical for my Jb3.  anybody got some ideas?

Fozzy is making me one of these:

Plus, check that sony digital converter in the yard sale... might be a possibility.  Otherwise, sony makes an 7pin -> mini toslink cable (never seen one, but heard they are fragile), and you could go either CO2 or Hosa box to convert from coax to optical.

Nifty, so what is the going rate on those?

does the coax mod disable the 7pin i/o? (never worked with 7 pins before)

For stealth or open?  For open, a Hosa ODL-276 will do the trick.  For stealth...it's just one more box to carry around and power and you're probably better off finding another solution.

[bagtagsell]

strictly stealth

well, on a stock there are 2 7pin i/o's - one male, and one female.  If your coax mod is like mine, then it physically replaced one of the 7pin i/o's.  The other one is still there... I've never used 7 Pin either, but I am quite sure it does not effect the other 7 pin i/o.  At least I hope it doesn't!

I'll let you know for sure when I get the cable from Fozzy.

Edit: OK, I think Fozzy told me that his was a coax mod SBM-1, and he said he's used 2 different 7-Pin diy cable to record for 9 hours one time flawlessly, and 3 hours flawlessly another time, so I'd assume that it does not disable the other 7-Pin I/O.  Hopefully he'll chime in and let us know for sure.

It was something I hadn't considered, and now you got me all worried that it isn't going to work!  I think it's cool tho.

[dnsacks]

it's cool -- works fine.  The coax mod merely cuts the male 7 pin head off of its cable and replaces the head with a rca termination.  NOTHING is done to the second (female) 7pin plug on the sbm-1's body and it will continue to feed a spdif signal.

thanks guys +t

[fozzy]

my sbm1 is a coax/linestage modded.  I was previously using an odl-276 via the coax output.  Now i am using a homebrewed 7pin(male) > optical tx cable > jb3 which uses the female 7pin jack on the sbm-1.

dood, fozzy...i'd love to have you make one of those 7-pin > toslink guys for me if you've got the time...i have an RMR-D3 laying around i can hack for the 7-pin head piece, would you be willing to hook it up?
