i've had a home studio in one form or another since 82 starting with a Yamaha MT44 4 track cassette and to this day i have never owned a balanced 1/4" TRS cable.
what the heck do they do?

I've been looking into getting some monitors for my home studio. I would be plugging them into a Tascam Interface. I had never really thought about how monitors were connected, but as I looked at the monitors we have at work I realized that the inputs can come in as XLR, 1/4 inch, or RCA. My interface has only RCA outputs. Will this affect the sound quality?

Hey guys, quick question!

Should the signal coming from a single heaphone jack on an audio interface be weakened by an adaptor like this when both sets of headphones are plugged in?

I have a M-16DX digital mixer/interface I want to record with. It has 16 balanced line ins (4 with mic preamps).
I plan to buy a Nady PRA-8 to add some more mic preamps, and an 8-pack of short 1/4" cables. I hear it does have balanced outs, but the distances are short anyway. Should I go TS or TRS 1/4" cables? I want to maximize flexibility of things I can connect with them.

Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of getting a new mixer and can't really afford the money to get one with more than 8 XLR inputs So I did some research and saw you can get 1/4" to XLR cables so i thought i could maybe put some of those in any spare 1/4 inputs as i need more XLR inputs. Would this work? And if it does would there be any major sound quality reduction?

Where can I find floor mountable devices that has a lid that covers the input connections for 1/4 inch speaker cables? Hide away floor plates.

I have a Studer A807 and I need to replace the pinch roller because the old one just "melted" and thick sticky rubber ran down the front of the machine whilst it was in storage.

Can anyone explain this?

I haven't put chemicals on it and its just a mystery to me.

Thanks

Is it possible to use the rca to 1/4" type of connector with SPDIF for use in a 1/4" patchbay? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I have a Focusrite Voicemaster Pro connected to the 5th TRS channel of Digi 002R via a homemade XLR-to-TRS cable.

Is using a XLR mic cable and adding a removable XLR/TRS adpator better or using a single custom cable better?

Pardon my ignorance ; P
