1/8" stereo to 2 x 1/8" mono jack adapter?
I would like to "break out" the 1/8" stereo mic input on my camcorder to two mono inputs.
This would be useful, for example, for using two AT Pro 88w receivers (which have 1/8" mic output plugs) simultaneously. (This would be an experiment, since AT does not recommend using two Pro-88w's together, but some folks have reported success doing this.) I have found the Hosa YMM-261 Y-cable adapter, which has an 1/8" stereo plug on one end, and two mono 1/8" jacks on the other end: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...arch&Q=*&bhs=t What I would really prefer is to have the stereo plug end be a right angle plug, rather than straight. A right angle plug would be better for plugging into the side of a camcorder. I have searched the web, but, so far, am unable to find any such product. I contacted places such as B&H and others to inquire about such a product, but to no avail. Might anyone suggest a source? Thank you. Regards, DG |

Just adapt that cable with a GMP 272 right angle adaptor and the judicious application of either some electrical tape or some shrink wrap? Who's gonna know and if your next camcorder has a different placement for the input - you can break your right angle to dual mono rig down into it's potentially more useful parts. BTW, those are common Hosa accessories and as much as I LOVE and admire B&H and their honesty and upright business practices - with the understandable overhead of their shipping process - really small, really cheap stuff like this might be found at a better price and shipping terms coming from a dedicated on-line parts house instead of a full service equipment dealer like them. But of course I don't mean to speak for them - and for all I know they might be quite happy to take $10 orders for shipment all day long. Good luck. |
Thank you, Bill.
The thought of using a right angle adapter did ocurr to me, and I will if I can't find a "single piece" product. I agree with you about the small order thing. I have some other stuff I want to buy, and figured to just include the stereo-to-mono-breakout cable in a larger order. By the way, I emailed several places inquiring about an 1/8" Y adapter. I didn't mention any other products I might be buying, so it may have appeared to the vendor to be an inquiry regarding an insignificant order. B & H replied within 30 minutes. Full Compass responded the next day. Another one never responded. DG Edit for clarity. |
Right-angle adapter goes first, then Y-cable...
Radio Shack has one for $3.99: http://www.radioshack.com/sm-1-8-rig...i-2103788.html This is for $1.99 only (see the red one): http://www.audioadapter.com/Audio-Ad...-Miniplug.html |
