Title: optical end
Post by: run_run_run on July 01, 2006, 12:21:49 PM

Just picked up a 3 foot radio shack cable to go into my JB3 and noticed it does not fit into my optical in right. Do I need a adaptor?

It needs to be an 1/8" optical end to go into the JB3.  Sound Professionals sells a cable that has it built in so you don't need an adapter.

I'd forget about the adapter... one more link in the chain that can break.

This is what I was looking for but I couldn't remember the url.  Funnily enough, I got another catalog in the mail from this company today.  I must get one every month or so.
