| cheap cables ok? I read through the cabling and connection basics and while the Dayton 3.5mm to RCA is relatively inexpensive, I think the ones at Monoprice are cheaper at under a buck. Will those do fine for calibration, or will there be enough signal degradation to affect calibration results? The items I had in mind are (can't post links): "3.5mm Stereo Plug/2 RCA Jack cable" (line out to pre/pro and loopback) "3.5mm Stereo Plug/2 RCA Plug cable" (line in to SPL meter and loopback) "RCA Video Audio Splitter Adapter (RCA Female to 2 RCA Female)" (mono to stereo for pre/pro) | ||||

| Re: cheap cables ok? Most inexpensive cables will do fine. Occasionally you will get some noise due to poor shielding, but it is typically not an issue. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary". This will represent a great improvement in the vendor reference database, making it easier than ever to find what you are looking for. Contact me with any suggested entries, category recommendations, or additional information about the vendors that we have. If you are a vendor and want your company listed, there is an option to provide us with the information. | ||||
