Re: pro control db25 cables for monitor section
How do you guys go about connecting your monitors to the pro controls monitor section with db25 cables? My monitors are about 4 to 5 feet apart which seems farther than the cables will spread because the db25 cables are wrapped till the end of the cable where it fans out to the 8 trs or xlr cables.
Do you use a short db25 to female trs or xlr and connect trs or xlr cables to those that go to the monitors and the headphone amp? |

Re: pro control db25 cables for monitor section
Yeah I always use, adaptors off of the main cable, whatever they may be to reach.
I build my own cables just so I have exactly what I need and so they don’t cost a fortune. I never used the PC as a monitor unit, I always had 3rd party units for monitoring....just because they were more robust, offered more io and were lots cleaner. The PC was great as a control surface but it didn’t have a great monitoring control sound...especially this far into the game.

But using a short db25 and extend it with extension cables will work fine too. Make sure you use xlr and not trs, because xlr connectors do make contact on a large surface (it's a large pin within a large buss) while trs connectors do make contact on a very small surface (point-to-point).
