Title: Connecting Line Audio CM3 to Riot Box with 1/8" input
Post by: bakerstuff on April 03, 2026, 02:00:10 PM

Hello all---I have a Riot Box with an 1/8" input, want to use it to power Line Audio CM3s but I'm fearing there is no cabling for this that will work. Any suggestions on how to pull this off? Modified cables? Some sort of "go between?"

Appreciate the info!

Baker

Unless you have a P12 version Riotbox it won't matter what cable you use. It won't work.  I'm guessing it is a 9v version if you have a 1/8 input.

It's supposed to be P12, that's what I ordered. Now I have to go back and see if I can find any such details. I know 9V is not enough to power it.

Sounds like you need dual XLR to 1/8 cable if the preamp can provide P12
