grawk Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I'm looking for those connectors that sony and AT use with the 3.5mm plug with a screw on 1/4" adapter. Does anyone know if they're available? Quote
n_maher Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I can't say that I've ever seen one for DIY use. What's the application? Perhaps there is a better solution? Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Have you looked at audiocubes? IIRC, they have/had AT 1/4 adaptor, but don't know if it's a screw-on one. Quote
grawk Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 I just like the screw on 1/4" adapters so I wanted to make a 4pin to 3.5mm/1/4" cable that used one . Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Google "AKG screw-on 1/4 adaptor" and few places pop up that appears to carry the adaptor. Of course, it doesn't say anything about the 1/8" part. Quote
grawk Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 getting inside the connector was nearly impossible on the sonys I had. Do the akg ones open up? Quote
n_maher Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 I think the best solution is to just have two 4-pin adapters (one to 1/8, one to quarter) rather than use an adapter on an adapter. I mean really, how often would you use something like this anyway? Quote
grawk Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 I just want a cable to throw in my travel bag. And the fewer cables the better, basically. I was just doing 4pin to mini with a non-screw in adapter. I suppose I can just make a 4pin to 1/4 and be done, I just happen to like the screw on adapters. Quote

Just make the 4 pin to 1/4 and buy a Sennheiser 1/4 to 1/8 adapter. It's a tiny cable and you are less likely to lose it than a screw on adapter. Or make your own. For the price it's really easier to just buy the Sennheiser. Quote
n_maher Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Or could you could make a dual-tailed adapter w/ both 1/4 and 1/8 plug options. Quote
n_maher Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 So carrying a cable plus a small screw-on adapter is preferable? You're a finicky bish today, aren't ya? Quote
grawk Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 I'd carry the cable with the screw on adapter screwed on It's just an esthetic thing. I was curious if what I wanted was available, that's it. Leave me alone Quote

Dusty Chalk Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 He was asking for sources...suggestions for alternatives -- although intended to be helpful -- and opinions of same -- not so helpful -- were still thread-crapping. Give him a break. Quote
