[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 146737, member: 162"] Re: Adapter kits I use a lot of 1/8" stereo to dual mono 1/4" cables as almost all tracks and videos come off smart phones or laptops these days. My favorite DI for this is the Radial ProAV2. I still use XLR gender benders so I can wire powered wedges through stage whips. As most powered speakers can use either gender as an input, I often only use the F-F direction. The other thing that's becoming more common in my use is 3 pin - 5 pin DMX adapters. Almost all of my fixtures are non-tungsten and therefore I need DMX at almost every fixture, and the industry may now be even more fragmented between the two standards. I also carry Ethercon barrels to adapt tactical Cat5 with Ethercon shells to standard RJ45 devices using a short Ethernet patch cable. My stage power cabling is Powercon, so I also carry Powercon couplers. That's about it - years ago I probably had more goofy cabling - 1/4" - XLR stuff for old Yamaha mixers with 1/4" outputs, various RCA adapters for rack mounted decks, etc. I don't carry that anymore.
