Re: How to Connect the iPad to a looping rig

I'm loving the iPad so much that I want to use it in my demos but
I'm having problems finding a cable that converts 1/8" stereo (male)
to 1/4" mono (male).
eeech
that really wants a custom made cable
if only I'd known I'd have put one in your English Breakfast Tea package..
....but that left here some time time ago.
Ideally you wouldn't just use a Y-adapter in that config,
(never parallel 2 outputs to an input is the "impedance rule")
...but I expect it would work ok.

Why not use a 1/4" mono to male 1/8 adaptor plug?
because you'd only get one channel (possibly not a problem), and if it's
the more
common 1/4 male to 1/8 female adapter you still have to get a 1/8 jack
lead,
which aren't so easy to find (certainly not in long lengths)
The 1/8in in male to 1/4in female adapters are inadvisable for mechanical
reasons,
either they break or they damage the i-pod if stressed ....I wouldn't
recommend for gigging.
