Question

Is a 3.5mm stereo to dual trs the same as a 3.5mm mono to dual trs?

Of course?

Hope so.

  • The Ugreen is for balanced mono signal (Ie. it is NOT stereo, the channels are phase-inverted) and the Van-Damme is Left channel to to Left & Right or Left & Right summed to Left.

    It all depends on the use case, there's no such thing as 'which cable is better' if the use-case is not known...

    Hi. Samu. Use a https://www.amazon.co.uk/LinkinPerk-Splitter-Interface-Instrument-Amplifier/dp/B07M7CJ74C/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=linkinPerk&qid=1606491743&sr=8-1

    For volca drum and volca modular.

    Need to gain an input on zoom u44 for a mic. So switching cable of volca modular. So ideal cable for volca modular.

    With LinkinPerk cable posted also. I noticed theres 3.5mm stereo or 3.5mm mono and I assume they are stereo when split to dual but there seems to be some info about difference in amount of prongs ( 2 vs 3 )

    So hope volca drum even has the correct cable also ( the linkinPerk )

    Thanks.

  • Oh yeah. Different cables ( amount of prongs )

    So best cable for volca modular to 1 input on zoom.

    and to know if the linkinPerk was ever the correct cable on volca drum ( there being mono 3.5mm and stereo 3.5mm cables )

    Thanks.

  • ah for aum input also.

  • I only have the Volca Bass (Mono) and Volca Drum (Stereo) and most of the time I just use a simple mono cable. (CPM303)

    So for the Volca Drum If I needed stereo I would use HOSA CMP153 (Two inputs needed on the interface).

    (I also use this cable when connecting the NTS-1 to my UR-242 inputs 3&4 on the back).

    And if only mono is needed I would use the HOSA CMP303
    (When only left channel is connected most instruments sum to mono, NTS-1 does this for both input & output as an example).

    For my Microfreak I use a Schulz STOZ6 (Balanced Mono) connected to the balanced front input on the UR-242.

    Mixing both Volcas using a cable to one input is not a good idea since the u44 has balanced inputs.
    So use two mono cables and both inputs on the u44 for best results.

    Good Luck!

  • Thanks Samu. Appreciate ( you know your stuff always )

    Need a second opinion also.

    Theres 4 inputs on u44 ( with added capsule )

    Volca drum and modular both have the linkinPerk cable. Just wondered if there were difference in a 3.5mm stereo to dual 1/4 trs vs a 3.5mm mono to dual trs ( because of info I read on prongs ) Hope these cables were correct for the volcas.

    Then going to add a mic. So volca modular will now have a mono input. Which cable is ok for a volca 3.5mm stereo out to 1/4 mono trs. So thats its audiable in both headphone ( I guess ) in Aum.

    Thanks.

  • My fault. I was asking a question about the stereo cables Iv already bought ( the linkinPerk ) for stereo inputs for both a volca drum and modular ( because there were info on 3.5mm prongs being either 2 or 3 )

    But then asked about making volca modular mono, with the cables I posted.

    Ok, that will make things easier :)

    For 'stereo' the linkinPerk cable is perfectly fine (It's the same type as HOSA CMP153), that's the way it should be.
    1 stereo (TRS) to 2 L&R TS. (But not the other way around if the input is balanced, If it's stereo input then it's ok).

    Then going to add a mic. So volca modular will now have a mono input. Which cable is ok for a volca 3.5mm stereo out to 1/4 mono trs. So thats its audiable in both headphone ( I guess ) in Aum.

    For that a simple TS (CMP303 or similar) is enough since most instruments mix down to mono when a TS cable is connected.
    I'd say if 'stereo' is not needed for the Volcas go with simple TS cables (CMP303 or similar).

    To keep things simple, use TS cables for each input when possible unless you know you're dealing with balanced signals.

    Don't know what mic you're going to connect but if it's a dynamic mic that needs plenty of gain you might need extra boost for that. (SE Electronics DM-1, CloudLifter etc.).

    Cheers!

  • Cheers Samu.

    Thomann replied as Id already messaged but they said the modular is technically mono. So switching to a mono cable is fine ( I have ios effects for bling )

    They said this cable but I wont order from thomann, just a cable

    https://www.thomann.de/gb/pro_snake_20013_15.htm?ref=intl&shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6IjQiLCJsYW5ndWFnZSI6ImVuIn0=

    trs to trs.

    Is trs instead of ts ok and which of the cables ( if any ) is ok. Ugreen or van damme. Or do I need trs to ts?

    Mic is a t-bone mb 78 beta. Think it needs phantom ( cant remember ) ordered an xlr cable after they sent mic. Just assumed it would come with a cable.

    I would still go with TS cables if I was connecting to the Zoom as it has balanced inputs...
    It's kinda weird Thomas recommended a TRS to TRS cable without check what you are connecting to?!

    From experience connecting a stereo or dual-mono signal into a balanced input sounds like sh*t and if it's mono you will not hear anything since the L&R channels will cancel each other out.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks Samu.

    Will buy a hosa ts to ts.

    Thanks for confirming stereo cables also. Thought they were trs but they are actually trs to ts.

  • Cable arrived. I always buy cables too short but not when moving stuff so should be ok.

    Cant tell difference between mono and stereo. Mono is first.

    Hi Samu. Thanks for getting me to buy ts cable.

    What is your opinion on the cables in this thread.

    Its basically an spdif connection from a zoom u44 to a zoom u44. Coaxial or Optical.

    and an rca/phono master output to a zoom u44 inputs (1 + 2 ). Mixer isnt amped ( not the best mixer ) but if the pseudo cable is good. I might buy over noiser cables.
