Cables for soundboard patches
thierryhenry:
Sorry I am a n00b, what exactly would I need to get a soundboard patch using a Sharp MD that has Line In, Mic In, and headphones out. What type of cables would I need? Thanks.
John Kelly:
When I first started board patching, all I needed was one cable and 2 sets of adapters. I bought a monster RCA > mini plug cable. One end has two male RCA jacks, while the other end has an 1/8" stereo connector. Then I bought two 1/4" male to RCA female (like pictured above) adapters and two XLR female to RCA female adapters.
That would cover you 99.9% of the time.

All of these cables can be bought at Rat Shack? Think I will take a ride and make a purchase of RCAm>mini and all of the adaptors. How much will this run? Thanks!

Thanks for the info guys. Lets say I would be patching in the RCA inputs on my UA-5. I think I know what I would need but please let me know if I am right here.
1 pair of stero RCA cables male to male 6'.
2 1/4" female to RCA male mono adapters. For when I get a pair of mono 1/4" male cables from the board
2 RCA female couplers. For when I get a male RCA stereo pair from the board
2 1/4" male to female 3 pin xlr cables. When I get 2 male xlr from the board. Then I would use the 1/4" female to RCA male adapters.
Obviously if I get a set of female RCAs from the board I would just connect to my RCA cable.
Is this right? And would it cover me for all analog feeds?
Thanks,
Joe
