Broken Jack Hack


Tom Williams

Recommended Posts

For several months I have been dealing with a failing right output jack.  I don't know if it's due to a warranty-eligible defect, or if someone banged on the plug during a gig.  AT first I thought it was a cable problem, but it recurs with all cables.

 

In a fit of creative desperation today, I grabbed a TRS effects insert cable -- two TS plugs at one end, one TRS plug at the other -- plugged the TRS end into a Privia headphone jack, plugged the Tip TS into the mixer's left channel, Ring TS into the mixer's right channel, and voila!  I can't tell any difference in sound from the original line level stereo output.

 

Moral of the story: keep a TRS insert cable around for hardware emergencies.
