Very basic music tech question, one so simple that I'm almost embarressed to ask: I've got an sh-101 and want to plug it into my stereo mixer. It has a mono out, but when you connect this to either L/R of any channel on the mixer the sound only comes out of that side of the speakers. Trying to pan it only fades it out. Is there a cable/connector that is the reverse of those "2 into 1" connectors you can get? Is there some other way I can get it to appear on both channels without modifying the gear? I know I should know this, but I've just realised I've never had mono gear connected to a stereo mixer, outputting to a stereo amp before (only to my mono mixer, or the stereo mixer outputting to a mono PA)! Thanks in advance. |

You may be able to get a mono splitter adaptor that puts the same mon signal to both left and right. Or wire one yourself. Best to get a mixer with some mono inputs though. |

i got something like this: costs maybe a dollar in a bigger electro market - got mine in media-markt. i use it mainly to play traktor from my laptop which has just a simple stereo out - i connect a jack-chinch connector to my pc and then two of those to every chinch and to the mixer so i can make external mixing |

hey don't you have any mic-in channels in your mixer ? what mixer is that... mic-ins are always mono |
||||||||

Yes, I've got 2 mic channels on the mixer, it's just that the FX routing on the mixer only allows "Post", rather than "Pre" and "Post" like the 'normal' channels. I could take the FX chain out and connect it in series, but then I obviously wouldn't be able to apply it to the other channels, as I can currently. |

A signal splitter would work... |

It's a PMC-270A (Effectively a PMC-275 in modern terms). I know it's a DJ-oriented, rather than studio mixer, but by chaining my other mixers into it, I have more than enough channels currently, so don't really want to shell out on another mixer right now for this. I probably will get a dedicated studio mixer in the next couple of years, so I'm just looking at a temporary solution until then (I'll probably make something up by connecting one of those splitters like you posted a picture of with some phono->jack plugs on the end). |

I think I will. :) Unabomber; yep, I'll probably get one of those and just stick the relevant connectors on the end (I've probably already got one in my wires box). I was just wondering if anyone had seen ones like that with 1/4" jack (guitar style) on all 3 ends already (for marginally better sound quality, aesthetics and to avoid tying up too many bits)? |

why not make something like this for your own ? i mean soldering isn't THAT difficult. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I can't find it! And never seen one... How strange... It MUST exist! Anyway, sure somebody will build them for you. I also hate those conector-adapter-splitter-cable-adapter chains... |
||||||||

|
|
Well, soldering IS THAT DIFFICULT for some retards like myself... |

some of the better music shops will make one up for you just how you want it! |

ceri: tell me what happens when you plug a normal headphone plug into the sh 101 ? does only one side of the headphones play ? because maybe it doesn't mather that it's mono and when you put in a stereo cable it will play on both channels ? |

Sadist: What's quite odd is that via headphones, it comes out of both ears. I think a stereo 1/4 jackplug/wire may do the trick. Sheffield Bleep: Cool, I'll have to make enquiries. I asked about this in Maplins before and they just told me to buy the bits and make it myself. |

you're right - so you don't have to make stupid cable chains. if it comes out of both ears it means that the plug in the sh-101 is giving the same signal. so depending on what plug you need for your mikser you just need a simple jack-jack or jack-chinch cable and it shoul do the trick |
