Topic: Anyone experience any pops/crackles via S/PDIF input on a MircoTrack?

[ghibliss]

There is no reason to cut the MicroTrack recorder enclosure to attach a coaxial spdif cable to it.  I am presently using a Pasternak coaxial cable part number RG179B/U which has Switchcraft RCA connectors on each end.  I have mine fitted with a right angle RCA on one end to go into my A/D converter.  The Switchcraft connector part numbers are 35HD RABAU for the right angle connector and 3502 ABAU for the straight connector.  I typically get excellent results using this cable and have recorded at least a dozen shows at 24/96 with the Microtrack via the spdif input from my A/D converter without any pops ever!

Here are the links to get these items if you wish to do so:

Here is the specification for the Coaxial cable as well:

...Pasternak coaxial cable part number RG179B/U ...
...Switchcraft connector part numbers are 35HD RABAU for the right angle connector and 3502 ABAU for the straight connector...

OK, who can make me a couple of these, and at what cost?

I can solder about as well as "old people fu*k"

Call Pasternak and they will make the cable for you if you specify the connectors from thier wesbite.  If that doesn't work take a Cialis/Viagra and get out the soldering iron!
