[QUOTE="Gordon Brinton, post: 12911, member: 9814"] Recently, while setting up for a live band, the keyboard player held up his [URL="http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=HA43"]Rolls HA43 Headphone Amp[/URL] and asked for a monitor send. (He uses it for hardwired IEM's.) Since the Rolls requires a stereo (L/R) TRS plug, I should have provided a linked stereo pair from the mixer. The problem began when I realized that I only had one aux/monitor channel left in the mixer, meaning he gets a mono send, not stereo. Furthermore, My AUX sends are balanced XLR. So, all I had to do was to convert balanced mono to unbalanced stereo. Apparently, that's not as simple as it sounds. This cable didn't work... [ATTACH=CONFIG]160365.vB5-legacyid=12877[/ATTACH] He complained that he only had signal in one ear of his IEM's. I couldn't find anything in my assortment of adapters, connectors, and gender changers to get mono signal to both ears. What was I doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
