Wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately we're running from an XLR SQN into a phono limiter which has a male minijack out that needs to go into a female phono in. Yesterday's technology?? We wear the t-shirt here!
Ah well, I'm in the business of giving people what they want.

Except when I don't. Apparently the new BBC Scotland HQ is 14 lanterns short of a rig, and its taken the contractor 9 months to spot it. Fools.

The boys will check with me tomorrow and get one soldered up.
I shall be inspecting the new BBC Scotland building later in the month to see if it's as good as everyone is claiming.

If you don't make a provision for me to meet you Mark I will be VERY unhappy.

I suspect I will only be there on a flying visit there in the morning and back in the evening but should that change I will let you know. And if not this time we'll sort something out for the next time!

Ugh. Getting the bits for this is more difficult than I anticipated.

I have 2 x male phono to 6.3mm jack but cant get a minijack adaptor - and its mono.

Or a 2 x female phono to 6.3mm jack mono.

Does it need to be stereo for your purposes?

Can you get hold of a phono to minijack adapter? Thats the only bit I've not got to hand - or a 6.3mm (1/4") jack to minijack adaptor?

PM me your addy and I'll pop it in the post tomorrow. I found the two I mentioned in the flat but brought the wrong one in this morning.
