jmsjabb Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ipod into mixer adapter Q. I have an ipod ( stereo 3.5mm jack ) and wish to connect it to a mono 4 in mixer. One in will be from the Bass, should I use 2 inputs for left and right, or should I get a 3.5mm stereo to 1/4 mono adapter and just use one input? Pointers helpful!

ped Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You'll want to split the signal into two channels matey - does the mixer in question have stereo RCA jacks at all, or just 1/4" ones? ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I need a stereo 3.5mm to connect to the ipod to two ( left and right ) 1/4 jacks into, say, input 2 and 3 on the mixer ( assuming input 1 is the bass )?

ped Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That's right mate, works for me. You might find it easier getting a stereo 1/4" to L and R 1/4" jack cable and bunging a 1/4" to 3.5mm converter on the stereo end. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think I have a few small sized ones left but as I am in the process of moving I don't know where they are! I have a good distribution chain set up now so the next batch should be quite smooth. I also do iPod to mixer cables ;0) (not really) ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give you a line level out with none of the EQ settings. We tend to use this type of cable for running our ipods at gigs as it means less messing about with the volume control and EQ presets on the ipod, and we can leave the input on the mixer set to the same position.
