Title: where to get 3"-5" mini to mini cable w/right angle plugs?
Post by: ozarkbilly on February 29, 2008, 12:53:56 AM

I've searched, but apparently my search terms aren't doing me any good.  I'd like to find a very short mini-mini cable to use with my CA ST-9000 > H120 that I'm going to attach velcro to so that I can stick them together.  I've got a 16" now and there's just way too much excess cable.  Any help or links would be appreciated.  I don't want to make my own, not sure I'm ready for that yet  :-\

At times I use the same set-up with velcro .  I use the 8" version of this cable, from the Sound Pros.

Edit..at 3"-5" you're obviously looking to have the pre controls at the top end of the h120 where the input is.  I do just the opposite, the pre controls are at the  bottom end of the h120 and the 8" inch cable is just right.

real easy to make one of those, buy 2 of the right angle nuetriks from parts express and get a little wire(radio shack even) and really not hard, i don't have a lot of experience but i have made 2 of those that worked great with no extra wire flopping around

I've made my own, supported cable makers here (Nick will me making a pair for me soon) and used the sound professionals mini cables.

For the short and small cables, especially to a rt angle 1/8" TRS jack, it's hard to beat the SP's.  They're small and inexpensive but I haven't had one fail on me.  They've also got the smallest molded rt angle jack I've come across which is the most important thing for me to keep the stress off those tiny jacks.  All of the aftermarket mini jacks are huge in comparison and put big lever loads on the jack.. Nick posted that he has some new small rt angle mini's though..
