RCA to mono

Where can I buy RCA to mono Jack ? please help.
Thank you

You can buy the rca plugs at Walmart for $4.00 dollars or best buy for $10.00 and I think at radio shack for $10.00. I just bought mine last week at Walmart. You might have to buy extension audio cables and adapter plugs to connect to computer if your turntable/radio/tape player is to far away from your computer.

SB Audigy RX EMU Engine Parameters not as good as SB Live!

I have just migrated from an XP system with a SB Live! card (Model CT4870), to a Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit PC with a SB Audigy RX card. I am very pleased with how it's working out because I really thought I had lost the EMU chip's lush sounds, especially on the reverb side of things.
There is, however, one small problem. I have an effect which applies heavy (I mean HEAVY!) reverb to the sound. I devised it by tweaking parameters from the "Hangar" preset. You can see a copy at http://www.jacobsm.com/MJ_Special_Reverb.Aup
It simply won't import into the EAX studio of the Audigy RX card. It states "Unspecified error". I have worked out what is going wrong. Either the "Reflections Delay" or the "Reverb Delay" parameter is set at 343ms when the Audigy RX seems to only handle delays up to 300ms (the maximum the slider goes to). It is important to me that I can achieve a delay of 343ms in order to get the slap-back echo effect I am striving for. Is there any way of tweaking the RX to accept higher values for the delay? TIA, Graphic

Hi Jeremy,
I was using Soundstorm on my Nforce motherboard, with the coaxial digital cable to my Logitech z680 speakers. Everything was fine, except for an occasional pop or click while playing games. My DVDs played back in Dolby digital, my games put out sound in 5. surround, and everything worked great.
I got the Audigy 2zs platinum pro to add additional connectivity, get 24-bit sound, and hopefully, clear up those occassional pops and clicks. If I was very lucky, it would hopefully also reduce the overhead for playing multiple sounds during games.
No luck. I've disabled the onboard decoder on the Audigy (now set to bypass), and I first used the digital coaxial cable to go to the SPDIF connector on the back of the control/connector box. The signal was detected as "stereo". Then I used a mono RCA to mono minijack adapter to connect to the digital minijack connector on the box to the z680 via the coaxial digital cable. It was detected as "stereo". Finally, I got a monster digital optical cable, and connected it from the Audigy box to the z680 optical port (it still read the signal as "stereo").
I played with every setting from "synchronize with control panel" to every input setting on the Logitech decoder. Nothing. Either no sound, or stereo.
But if I re-enable the Soundstorm, and hook the coaxial cable to it, it immediately reads it as a Dolby digital signal.
The z680 speakers I have are older models, over a year old, so I don't know if there is some issue there.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, I'm about to write up a review of the Audigy 2zs PP on my web site, and it's not going to be very complimentary if I can't work this out. No other company on earth uses mini-jack connectors for Dolby digital, and I've got to think Creative did this to make it harder to use competitor's speaker systems with the 2zs.
Thanks.

How to attach to a mono RCA input

I would like to plug my iPod into an amplifier that has only one mono RCA input. Do I use a mono miniplug for the iPod? Or a "backwards" RCA Y adapter to merge both channels into one male plug?

The correct way to merge the two signals is to feed them both thru a resistance thatu is equal to their expected impedance, probably 16-32 ohms. Then feed this point to your mono input. It should also be similarly matched. This all creates loss but you cannot properly match them any other way, other than adding active amplification if your loss is too great.
Or you can use the brute force method as already suggested. The difference will be added noise and/or altered freq response curve but if you do not require optimum fidelity then it likely won't make any difference to you.
The component manufacturers have usually already built stuff to be fool proof as they know what kind of real world situations they will have to tolerate.

Difference if connecting to external digital receicer via mono to RCA cable and coaxial ca

Please tell the difference if connecting from Audigy 2 ZS to external digital receicer via (/8 inch) mono to RCA cable and coaxial cable (from front panel with SPDIF out/in).
Where can i get this /8 inch mono to RCA cable? I dont find it listed in the accessories of creative website.
Thanks

There is absolutely no difference as far as sound quality goes, as both are digital connections. You can buy a minijack-to-RCA cable at radio shack or any similar store. Just ask for a cable to connect an iPod to a home stereo; this is the same adaptor that you need.

Dock vs. Mono to RCA Output for iPodding my car

I'm putting an interface in my car that adds RCA input so I can play my iPod, now the only thing to do is get an RCA converter cord for the iPod. I've looked around, and found that in addition to the normal mono (headphone port) to RCA converter cords, there are now iPod dock to RCA cords, for essentially the same price. Does anyone know if there is any difference in quality between the two? With the mono cord, I'd have greater flexibility, and could plug it in to things besides the iPod, but if the sound would be bad compared to the dock cord, I might go with that. Thanks!

Uh, the headphone port is stereo, not mono.
With the mono cord, I'd have greater flexibility, and could plug it in to things besides the iPod
I wouldn't plug in anything with mono.
Why not just use the stereo RCA plugs and adapter?

Looking for a 1/4", RCA or XLR input to trrs with attentuator to allow audio recording/streaming

We have built an iPhone app that allows an artist to plug directly from their mixer to the iPhone and stream/record the set at the same time. Problem I'm having is getting the signal to come in low enough to detect it as a mic line input and record (realizing it's limited to mono for now).
Anyone know of a good cable to bring RCA, 1/4" or XLR to a 1/8" TRRS cable with the attenuator needed to drop the signal down low enough to be recognized as a mic input signal?
The app is the SpinUtopia app if anyone wanted to check it out

At least four tracks at a time - 2 mics, guitar,
I think this is one of the best interfaces at a reasonable price and it will handle your audio requirements.

I could point you to a more expensive interface that also has MIDI, but that seems silly when a simple MIDI interface is only about $40
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/InterfacesMIDI.html
Get these two interfaces and you'll be covered (you'll actually be able to record 5 tracks at once, 4 audio and 1 MIDI)
Hope that helps

RCA to miniplug adaptor for coaxial cable to 5.1 speak

I have Logitech 5. speakers with coaxial or optical digital connectivity. I already have an RCA to RCA 75ohm cable, but I need to connect to the miniplug on my Audigy 2SZ. I can't seem to get a straight answer about what sort of adaptor to use. Can I use a simple mono RCA to miniplug adaptor, or do I need something special?
Thanks
k.

Hello Shikaku,
I think you can use a mono miniplug to RCA but you'd have to enable SPDIF Passthru mode and let your reciever do the decoding.Message Edited by adrums63 on 09-9-2005 0:0 AM

N8 RCA output, No Video!

Hi!
I wanted to see some videos on my TV, so I tried to use a 3.5mm Jack - RCA cable I had at home.
I set the TV out option as default, left the default TV settings (Normal size, PAL code, and Unactive filter) and plugged the cable.
On a CRT TV I see a stream of blinking white stripes and no audio.
On a LCD TV I get the "no signal" message all the way, and audio works fine.
Am I doing something wrong?
(The cable is not a Nokia cable, but as far as I know those cables are all the same, isn't it?)

Okay, it was my cable architecture that was kinda stupid, trying to play a stereo song, I figured out that the 2 audio cables, were a mono sound duplicated... So my phone seeing only 2 channels thought that they were a stereo output. To be sure of that I plugged the yellow cable (the video one) in an audio input (red or white), and the output was a sound signal!
I went to a friend's to ask him to borrow me his CA-75U, and everything works fine!
I'm sorry for this nearly useless topic

Is there ANY way to hook up l and r rca cable to x-

or am I looking at getting a converter?

No offense, but 428 posts it's surprising you would ask such a question; so maybe I'm simplifying the answer too much. It should be the same quality, if that's the question. If you're looking to connect digital you need a 3.5mm (/8") mono miniplug to RCA mono converter which plugs into the digital input of your receiver. Replace mono with stereo in the previous statement if you're looking to hook up the analog outs and connect them to the external input of your receiver.

Stereo Input=Mono??

I'm new to Garage Band and macs in general. I was using Adobe Audition 3 on a Vista based laptop and have just switched to a Macbook (black)I'm using the same set-up as I was with Audition. A Behringer (Xenyx 802 with 2 mics) mixer with L/R 1/4" patch cables (for output) into a 1/4" Y to stereo 1/8" jack into the line input of the macbook.
I have the proper input set up in preferences and select Stereo input. When I record It shows two channels recording, but on the meters only the upper one is working. If I switch to mono, it shows 1 channel recording, but BOTH meters are now active.
Am I missing something??

This may be a dumb suggestion, but I have the same set-up, and sometimes when I am getting only half the signal, I just turn the line-in around a bit. That usually does it.
If that doesn't solve it, I would suggest using the RCA out straight to the line-in on the laptop (I assume your mixer has them) instead of the 1/4''-it could be something weird with your adapter.

Mac input stereo or mono?

I have a mac mini when I put in stereo in on the mic input it only records one side. Am I using the wrong type of connector or is a limitation of the Mac Mini? When I send audio to that Mac Mini throigh the mic input it recored in mono. I have tried Garage band and Audacity and the results were the same. One side only gets recorded. Should I find a USB soultion to recored stereo and if so what suggestions can anyone make that will record stereo?

Both the Mac Mini's input and output jack ports are stereo.
Is the 3.5mm end that you have pluged into the Mac, segmented into three sections (right, left and common) for sterio?
Amazon.com: SF Cable, 12ft 3.5mm Stereo Male to Two RCA Male Splitter Cable: Electronics
If so, then check to see if it is fully seated into the Mac's Audio input jack?
If it only has two segments, then it is a mono plug.

Does my laptop dv6t-2000 have a stereo or mono audio line in?cc=us

I'm buying a system to record lp's onto my computer. The store says my line in is probably mono and so is advising me to buy their rca (stereo) to USB adapter so that I can record in stereo. It's an xtra $40, so I want to make sure that I need it. Or is my line in already stereo?

boxboro,
YES, it is stereo.

I just can hear mono on ipod classic 5th Generation

If I use my iPod with headphones then I can just hear mono! Anyone who knows how to fix this problem?

You connect the sound system to the iPod via the iPod dock or just using a RCA jack?
If it is via Ipod Dock, then the Audio chip circuitry in the iPod is kaput!, bad mounting.
If it is RCA jack, it maybe cheaper to replace the Audio jack circuitry, eBay selling it for less than 10USD, but opening the iPod is another big exercise, need proper tools and steady hands.
You can Google a 3rd party iPod service in your Area, then ask for a quotation, yah 170€ is almost the cost of a new iPod.
Sorry not much help given.

Mono output - can I use a mono mini-jack cable?

I'm outputting music mono from an iPad, to a mono system (Bose) currently using stereo mini jack output to twin RCA's with standard mono jack adaptors, this ties up two inputs on the Bose; can I simply use a mini jack mono from the Pad to standard jack mono cable (or even a mini jack mono to XLR)?
Sorry if it's a thickie question . . . . .

Yes. The iPod can connect with standard 3.5 mm plug

When creating new track in stereo... track opens in mono in arrange window

Since upgrading to 8.0.2...weird things are happening to previously saved projects. Stereo tracks are opening up mono and affecting following track. When creating new tracks in stereo.... tracks open mono. I don't know if this is due to 8.0.2 but all these freaky things have happening since. Also, when previewing Apple Loops, I can only hear it on one side, but Loops sounds fine once dragged to arrange window. Is this common or is my computer haunted ? Should I call Ghost Busters ? HELP !!! lol

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem as well: creating new tracks results in a mono software instrument, not the usual stereo software instrument. BUT... "Universal Track Mode" is already checked in my Audio prefs. I unchecked & rechecked it, but to no avail... I'm still only getting mono software instruments.
Any other ideas? No changes have been made to my system, and I'm running the latest version of Logic Pro.
