Hi,
I had someone build an XLR box for me recently....I forgot to mention that I wanted the 1/8thinch output cable to take the mono signal and make it go to both channels. Is there a cheap adapter I can buy that takes a mono signal, and puts it on both stereo channels? Ive looked a little, but have only found stereo to stereo, ala this (http://www.cablesandsuch.com/product.cfm?ProductID=1864). If the female was mono, and the adapter brought that mono to both stereo channels, thatd be great...but I cant seem to find them...any suggestions? Thanks
Chris

I would think Radio Shack would have the pieces to make this easily. Have you checked there?

Thought RS has a right angle adapters too. 74-372 (stereo) or 74-395 mono-to-rca, or canabalize from 42-2459/2559 or 42-2495 depending on your precise need. and ingenuity

You buy the made-up cable/device (in this case some earphone adapter cables), cut off the part you need and toss the rest.

Toss the rest? Nonononono.. that is what you use to fill up your junk box. You will need that other end 6 months down the road.

Rule #1: Junk expands to the area that confines it.
