Advice on Stereo to Mono
Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 6:20 pm
Hi all!
I am looking for a quick, cheap and dirty way to turn a stereo signal from a TRS "jack" plug into a mono signal on a TS "jack" plug on the other end of the cable.
A bit of Google-ing has told me that I must just connect both the Tip and Ring of the stereo plug to the Tip of the mono plug, preferably with a very small resistor, if possible, to avoid clipping.
Will this work, before I go and make a mess of soldering my connections too many times?
(P.S. I already know how the quick and dirty way to "convert" a balanced TRS to an unbalanced TS. This is NOT what I am trying to do.)
Thanks for any help!
