Topic: Core sound binaurals and Roland R05 suddenly started to record in mono - why?

[hanoi]

I have been using Core sound binaurals through a battery box to "line in" on Roland R05 (set to record in stereo) for about 12 months with success.
Good binaural/stereo recordings.

My latest attempt resulted in a mono recording with the same input on both tracks.

My recorder is set for stereo input. I can actually hear the recording switch from binaural/stereo to mono just before the start of the support act Laetitia Sadier.
Roland is about 13 months old.

A test at home records in mono - why?
Is this mikes, recorder of something I did?

CS battery box wiring. 95% chance that's it. Has happened to me too.

Was it easy to repair?

Whats a TRS?

Tip - Ring - Sleeve

It's a 3-pole jack plug.

Len Moskowitz of core can fix it, or anyone competent with wiring.

I opened up the bb and bent the .... lump back a little so the battery wasnt pushing so hard against it and that seems to have fixed it for now.
 

I also ordered some CA14s and an ugly from Chris. Here's hoping they arrive in time for the Eagles later this month.

I'll swap the plug for a 3.5 TRS  on the binaurals when the cards arrive and only use the ugly.

Thanks for the advice.
