Title: patching a jb3
Post by: Kevin McF on June 10, 2004, 11:53:34 AM

what kind of cables would be necessary for this?

my friend wants to take his jb3 to the toronto DMB show but would rather get some good mics in better position than where he will be (at831s and 200 back row)

thank you in advance

see that is the problem...i think he is just going to show up and talk to who ever has rigs up so it could really be anything  :-\

Yeah, it really depends on what he patches out of...

1)  if he patches out of something with an analog line-out (generally a 1/8" trs), then you'll need a 1/8">1/8" stereo TRS cable.  This is the simplest you can get.

2) if patching out of RCA line-outs, you'll need a RCA>1/8" TRS Y Adapter cable.  Again, pretty simple.

3) if you are patching optical digital, you'll need a toslink>toclink optical cable, and at least 1x 1/8" TRS Optical adapter plug.

4) if you are patching coax, you'll need a coax digi cable, a Hosa ODL276 and the optical cable mentioned above.

But again, this is very general, what you need will depend on the individual situation, there is no "the cable" like there is with the Sony DATs and the 7-pins...

and if you go the odl-276>jb3 route, get a coax splitter ;)
