Hi
And the prize for this years most stupid post goes to: Moi?
I just can't get a signal out of my (old analogue) RS SPL meter from the output jack socket.
I am assuming the RS meter has a mono output socket. So if I stick a stereo jack in there I should still get a signal on a stereo cable. Right?
I have tried every combination of cables and jack adaptors from my collection in every possible way I can think of but every jack and adaptor I have is stereo.
I put my voltmeter across the other end of a stereo jack to phono cable and got nothing on my multimeter even @ 200mV (at any dial setting) from the RS meter.
A continuity check on the cable proved the jack ring was connected to the phono pin and the jack base to the phono shield.
Should I make haste to the nearest pro gear shop and buy a long mini jack to mini jack mono cable? Or just buy another RS meter?
Is life meant to be this complicated?
Any ideas for a conclusive check for output from the RS meter socket using
stereo cables or adaptors greatly appreciated.
BTW: The 9 Volt battery in the RS meter is fine.
