I am looking for a good "Audio Adpater Kit". By this I mean a collection of miscellaneous audio adapters in one kit.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

thanks for the tip. I've been piecing together an adaptor kit for a while and haven't had any idea if I was putting the right things in it or not, but i wanted to be prepared when I was out. Now I can run this kit's inventory against what I already have and see if it would be cheaper to buy the kit or fill in the holes. Thanks, Dan, I wouldn't of thought to ask the question...

Hi Dan,

When I descend on the audio stores, I typically grab a handful of Hosa adapters and cables with various combinations on the end. While Hosa doesn't really have a huge kit (I prefer to gather piece parts individually), here's their starter kit:

And for $10 each, you may want to get several of these:

Generally, I go for 1/8 inch mini, RCA, 1/4 inch TR and TRS, and XLR assortments, including gender changers (connectors and barrels), adapter size changers, splitters, and mono-stereo Then there is the miscellaneous stuff like attenuators, matching transformers, etc. For my work, I haven't had the need for bannana or BNC equipment, but I'm sure some day I'll wish I had some of those as well.

Regards, Michael

these would make great stocking stuffers...I'll have to keep that in mind for the holidays next winter. ;)

Trew Audio has a couple of packaged kits called Adapt-a-kits that look pretty complete, if a bit pricey.
