  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:

  http://www.peel.dk/Dynacord/Dynacord_Echocord_Super_75_User_Manual.pdf

  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!

DIN-5 is wired like this:

      2
    4   5
   1     3

...female socket as seen from the outside (plug side).
