Was going to write to Rob and Cory off list but I'll throw it open as I'm a glutton for punishment and someone somewhere might glean a tidbit here.
Wiring explanation please! I'm coming out of a portable computer and going into a Fostex squawkbox. The computer audio out is stereo 3.5mm TRS (mini-jack) and the Fostex is a standard XLR in. Obviously I'm wanting to take the stereo signal and listen to it through a single mono speaker. I've bought a 3.5mm male to XLR male lead but the sound is crap and only hearing one side! In my Land Rover I use a stereo system - a 3.5mm lead out of the Macbook to 2 RCA females and then another lead with 2 RCA males leading to 2 XLR males which go into 2 Fostex speakers (don't ask, it's what I had in the parts bin). This gives me left and right audio as needed while editing. I took half of this setup off the Land Rover and popped it onto my single Fostex in the house and that works fine. But the lead I bought doesn't :-( So - take me through from the 3.5mm jack into the lead and at the XLR end, what should be connected to what? Obviously I've got 3 wires from the 3.5mm jack - tip, ring and sleeve - which goes to which of the 3 terminals on the XLR - 1 Chassis, 2 hot, 3 return. Answers on a postcard please. Then copy by hand onto a reply email :-))) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
