Re: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] 1/8 vs. 3.5mm

2009-02-13 by Richard Lainhart

There is, in fact, a slight difference between 1/8" and 3.5mm jacks. However, the Markertek connectors listed below are in fact 3.5mm, and while the 200e is specified for 1/8", in practice, I've never had any issues with the cables being too tight or too loose, and have not found any problems with intermittent connections when using them. I can't say that that will apply to all 1/8" systems, but on the Buchla, at least, it's not a problem.


On Richard Lainhart's site he recommends these. They're not cheap but nothing good ever is.
