Wink Patchbay Downtime Generator

I'm not one to get all audiophile about cables, but I've heard this cable work it's magic, and it has significantly altered the noise floor of several pieces of gear.

A technician has job security with an adaptor like that.

Plug it in the right holes and you have plenty of gear to fix.

Don't know why we're hating. It's a simple way to get 110V Phantom Power into those big mics where 48V won't cut it.

Wasn't that from a company called Fried Engineering?

I wish I had a picture of it, but a good friend of mine was bored one day and made an RCA to Cam Lock adapter. It's pretty funny to see.

could this have been specifically for grounding? Just not wiring up the power pins?

Hey, you know how unpredictable some gigs can be. What if Radio Shack were closed, and doors were in 15 minutes? THEN what would you do?











I'm kidding, I'm KIDDING :-)
