Stereo Splitter Cable

#1

Hi All
I'm new to Axoloti and technically weak. I see I should use a stereo splitter cable. Don't have one. In the uk where could you suggest I go to get one,please? I've looked on Studiosoares, Amazon and EBay and everywhere seems to sell single stereo 1/4 inch to dual mono or to rca.

I have plenty of mono cables. And haven't tried those as I believe I'd get distortion.thank you for your help.

I can't wait to get going!

I bought one of these and it works great!

thanks. I couldn't find something like that on Amazon uk. I'll look now. Cheers

Ideally I'd need a cable that went 1/4 inch to 1/4inch so to go direct to my sound card. Any suggestions? With yours Id need more cables with 3.5mm heads. I think.

Single stereo 1/4" to dual mono 1/4" is a splitter and should do what you want.

That was an issue with board revision 1.0 and is fixed on later revisions. You can find the board revision near the edge of the board close to the audio input jack.
Stereo to dual mono 1/4" cables are often called "insert cables".

Ok thanks for your replies, I am grateful. So would I be able to just use the 1/4 inch mono Jack cables I already have? I hope so.

Sorry that I missed the note re. The update.
Cheers.

If you have no need for stereo, and board rev. 1.1 or later, a 1/4" mono jack cable is perfectly fine.

I bought y cables from thomman

That way I could just breakout the mono signals directly to the mixer and use my existing 1/4" cables ( including snakes for multiple boards)

These days id probably just buy the jacks and make up the cables, as it worked out pretty expensive when you have a few boards :wink:

thanks. Tbh. I've been really dim. I saw the two sockets and assumed it was only stereo out, and looking I see exactly what would have been obvious if I'd have-looked. Duh. What a silly. Anyhow, these look exactly what I'd need. Thanks one and all.

I'm using what is sometimes called an insert lead

1/4" TRS jack at one and and 2 mono jacks at the other.

wondered about the advisability of connecting one channel directly to ground by plugging in a mono jack into the stereo sockets.

Hi - suggestion to add this detail to 'hardware installation' section of the quick start guide

#14

good idea, Ive updated quick start guide, and also amended the hardware notes.
