Re: [Doepfer_a100] Stereo cables vs mono

2011-09-26 by Florian Anwander

Hello Rudy

As far as I know the sockets in the doepfer modules use in fact the ring 
contact of a stereo cable for ground (Dieter may correct me if I am wrong).

This does not matter if you use mono cables. Stereo cables should work 
fine as long as you stay within the doepfer world. But connections to 
other gear with 3,5mm sockets will fail assumingly due to the missing 
ground.
