can share where you get the Klotz and Neutrik Pro-fi RCA connectors and for how much.

I believe I'm not the only one interested in DIYing a mini to RCA cable like yours.

Thanks!

bpribadi i've been using the black and gold neutrik mini connectors lately. lots of success. much cheaper then the switchcrafts, but you can only fit a 5mm cable in there. so mini starquad and mini l2t2s is the order wink.gif

Neutrik + Klotz mini to mini interconnect

i find the black casing Neutrik mini plugs harder to work with then the silver ones...the soldering part was easy (same as silver type plug), problem was when i try to put the whole thing together, it just won't screw in, i think this is casue by the black color plating of the case, i had to use a plier to grip on the case to screw it in, i think u can see the scratch marks left by the plier, the silver case plugs screws together easily, i think i'll stick to the cheaper silver plugs from now on sleep.gif

seen here with my buffered Cmoy in mini-me case

 

as u can see the Klotz cable is almost as big/thick as the plug, u'll need to strip off about 2 lengths (using the plug's case as guide) of cable to get enough cable though the case to work with, remember to keep the striped off insulation cause u'll need to use it to cover the expose cable when u close the plug, this is why i use shrink-wrap, its to hold the reattached insulationon the cable

 

N@Z, the plugs are $5.50 (silver type) & $6.50 (black type)

 

jtfoo, i don't hav part no. for the Klotz, but i think there's only 1 type thats stereo for Klotz, actually it says "professional microphone cable" on the cable itself, there's also a blue color one, the other type of Klotz cable i hav is mono for my mixer

 

bram, for straight mini plugs of higher grade, i use something call "Eanare" no sure how to pronouce this smile.gif it has a case that almost the same size as a 1/4" plug, also bought from Hung Bros, this will fit the Klotz cable nicely
