This is not a crappy video at all! I'm getting ready to install some of these for the first time and your video helped me to instantly understand what to do. Thank you!
Really helpful thanks! Strangely I haven't been able to find this anywhere else in terms of a diagram, etc. So what I took away from this video.... XLR(1) = TRS(Sleeve) = GRND XLR(2) = TRS(Tip) = HOT XLR(3) = TRS(Ring) = COLD. Oh, and leave lots of slack! :) THANK YOU for this video.
I have these combo connectors. Great vid!!! For some reason my 1/4” cables will only go 90% in and hard stop. I’ve new to this combo connector so am I doing something wrong? I’m being careful and not jamming them the rest of the way in!!! Thx much.
I’ve soldered in two of these so I can make a connection from one room to another, but when I plug my amp into one end, the amp gets very noisy. What’s the deal?
Great tutorial! I have a question; planning on using 8 of the TRS XRL combo plugs for input (as shown in the video above), and an aditional 4 as output plugs. Is this possible? And if, is the soldering prosess the same? Planning on using 4x Jack - XLR female from my DA output through the TRS XLR combo plugs shown above
This video was very helpful. As someone new to soldering, could you point me to what you are using for those short black solder cup insulators? Did you purchase or make them?
Glad it helped you! All of the heat shrink was cut to size. You can also buy pre-cut lengths of heat shrink from a company like Redco. 1/8-1/4" diameter should be fine. www.redco.com/Shrink-Tubing/
+Scott smith I'm pretty sure all of the combo jacks come bare, and without jumpers. You could order some pre-builtfrom Chris @ Redco.com though! Their prices are very reasonable.
Great video, i soldered a panel yesterday and im getting a pretty loud buzz from it (that wasnt there when connecting directly to the interface) any idea what will cause that?
+Lane Cyphers You can solder direct for either XLR or 1/4" input, however you will be committed to whatever you soldered to. If you solder direct to XLR, 1/4" input will not work. If you plan on doing this, you'd better off getting a standard XLR or 1/4" jack, instead of a combo jack.
Yes. Neutrik recommends jumping from pole to pole with shorties. Also Lane, the answer to your question is Yes! If you wanted, you could wire the 1/4in and the XLR to different places entirely (i.e. line in vs. xlr in on an audio mixer)

exactly. i just wired one of these for a restaurant wall panel drop for live entertainment and trivia. awesome!!
huge help. just did it and it turned out perfectly. tested both 1/4 and xlr and they are flawless
Appreciate this brother! 👊👊
Use needle nose pliers to help hold the wires. It saves your fingers from the heat and helps be more surgical with the placement.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEOOOOOO
super helpful, thank you

great video, thanx for share your wisdom 3:)
Ok cool here it is

I used regular mic cable with the jacket, instead of using individual strands. Would that be okay? The continuity tests all pass. Thank you!
Parabéns, vídeo muito elucidativo, aprendi o que precisava.

Great video, very helpful! Are the jacks you are using switching or non-switching?
nice hands
I'm pretty sure they're switched.
AWESOME!!!
What does the other end of the snake look like? I do not see it mentioned. Is it an XLR, TRS or what?
+Lord Jer Earl of Harlem Other side is connected to a patch bay in the control room.
Do all the combo jacks come like this OR are there ones you can buy already jumped? Seems like a lot of extra work otherwise.
+Scott smith I'm pretty sure all of the combo jacks come bare, and without jumpers. You could order some pre-builtfrom Chris @ Redco.com though! Their prices are very reasonable.
Great video, i soldered a panel yesterday and im getting a pretty loud buzz from it (that wasnt there when connecting directly to the interface) any idea what will cause that?
I have the same buzz. ADiSH, did you ever solve the buzz problem. Mine only buzzes when I connect the 1/4 plug.
I did actually, i switched from plastic connectors to better metal ones and used a better cable (im not sure which one fixed it)
can you solder direct without the jumpers?
+Lane Cyphers You can solder direct for either XLR or 1/4" input, however you will be committed to whatever you soldered to. If you solder direct to XLR, 1/4" input will not work. If you plan on doing this, you'd better off getting a standard XLR or 1/4" jack, instead of a combo jack.
instead of using long wires y wouldnt u just use a short piece to jump straight form pole to pole?
Yes. Neutrik recommends jumping from pole to pole with shorties. Also Lane, the answer to your question is Yes! If you wanted, you could wire the 1/4in and the XLR to different places entirely (i.e. line in vs. xlr in on an audio mixer)
Where can I purchase the jumpers ?
cut some lengths and strip the main sleeve off.
@@couzin2000 cut a length from the microphone cable itself is it?
