When Radio Shack is closed, you'll feel confident that you can handle any venue's crazy sound system setup with this thorough set of audio adapters chosen specifically for the needs of the electronic musician. From the ubiquitous 1/8" to RCA adapter common to almost every laptop set (laptop headphones out to club mixer in) to the less-common-but-still-essential XLR adapters (for dealing with stage breakout boxes), you can feel confident that your sound will reach the people, no matter what the promoter or sound guy has overlooked. They're packaged in a high-visibility red nylon bag with a sweet logo that totally looks like a first aid kid, but sexier. It's about the size of a headphones bag (6" x 8"). A card detailing the contents and an LED light (oh what a great idea!) are attached to the drawstring. There's also enough extra room in the bag to accommodate any additional adapters you collect along the way.
ADAPTERS INCLUDED:
(1) LED light + clip
(1) ⅛” male stereo plug <-> (2x) ⅛” female stereo jack
(1) (2x) mono RCA male plug <-> ⅛" male stereo plug (6' cable + hook & loop cable tie)
(2) ⅛" male stereo plug <-> 1/4" female stereo jack
(1) ⅛" (2x) female stereo jack <-> 1/8" male stereo plug
(2) ⅛" female coupler
(1) ¼" male stereo plug <-> (2x) female stereo ¼" jacks
(1) ¼" male stereo plug <-> (2x) female stereo ¼" jacks (Y-cable) (2) ¼" male stereo plug <-> ⅛" female stereo jack
(2) ¼" female stereo coupler
(2) XLR female jack <-> ¼" male stereo plug
(2) XLR male plug <-> ¼" male stereo plug
(2) RCA mono female jack <-> ¼" male stereo plug
(2) RCA mono female coupler

not sure if they deliver to Europe, id say theyd be easy to put together if you pop in Maplin or something
Aye. Think you'd be right.
Nice find.
I have a rider of basic equipment in my booking contract, so I make sure the venue has everything I need before hand, other than that I bring a few adapters and a few audio leads, plus my laptop, controller and soundcard, oh, and a torch.
Never in any gig have I not been able to cope, apart from once, when the actual soundsystem blew before my set, and no one knew what to do, so I scrounged some tools off the promoters and fixed it myself.
That looks mint.Quote:
