Hello,
I don't know the machine, but I worked with DIN plugs 30 years before.
The five pole DIN can take mono out, stereo out, mono in and stereo in in ONE plug. The middle pin (2) is ground in any case. Pin 3 is mono out in mono application, pin 1 is mono in.
In stereo mode pins 3 and 5 are the outputs, 1 and 4 the inputs.
If you have a 5-pole socket labelled "in" and you know, that this is a mono machine, connect ground to pin 2 and "life" to pin 1.
If you have a 5-pole socket labelled "out" and you know, that this is a mono machine, connect ground to pin 2 and "life" to pin 3
If you have an "in-out" socket, you have to construct a Y - lead, like an insert cable.
Hope this helps
Obi

Subject: [Simmons Drums] OFF TOPIC: Technically Minded German Speaker Needed!
Hi all,
This is not strictly Simmons related (although I might be able to make a tenuous link!) but when this particular problem arose my first instinct was to post on the list.
I have recently bought a Dynacord Super 75 Tape Echo from Germany on Ebay. As far as I can tell it's fully working. The unit takes 5 pin DIN plugs rather than standard TRS jacks.
I made some TRS to DIN cables over the weekend, but I have wired the wrong wires to the wrong pins on the DIN plugs! Can anyone advise the correct wiring method for this unit?
I've found schematics and manual here but unfortunately my German isn't brilliant:

I've trawled the intenet for info asked the same question on the Dynacord list a few weeks ago but no-one answered. Sorry this isn't strictly Simmons related but if I get it working I'll record some samples of my SDSV going through it.
If anyone can help, please email me: gushi1@...
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!
