Hey folks, back again with another silly question. Do they make a male stereo 1/8 mini (3.5mm ) to dual male 1/4 cable that is stereo on the 1/4 end and not dual mono ?? I thought I read somewhere it's called a ' summoning' cable that deals with resistors etc....but can't seem to find anything....Maybe I was dreaming. I bought what I thought was the above, but both 1/4 plugs carry the same mono single. I'm looking for one 1/4 to carry the left, and one 1/4 to carry the right .

The reason I'm asking is two-fold:

1. I'd like to be able to pull a stereo single off my phone into my DP-02 in case I want to record some sound effects ( in stereo ) of the internet etc,,,
2. I'd like to try running a full 8 track mix out of the DP-02, into my Zoom H2N, then back into 2 tracks of the DP-02. The H2N has an 1/8 9 3.5mm ) stereo out.

I'm good with a soldering iron so I could easily make my own if I could find a schematic.

This is the one I purchased, but again, it's dual mono on the 1/4 inch side......need stereo


I hope this all makes sense !!

I think you have what you need. One end is stereo and that is split for left channel/right channel. When they are split, they are considered mono aka not stereo each.

A Hosa Y C able 1/4 in TRS to Dual 1/4 in TRS - and an Adaptor.

+1. Assuming it's wired correctly, what you bought is what you need.

"1/4 cable that is stereo on the 1/4 end and not dual mono"
Not sure what you mean by that. The layout is as follows...


1/8" TRS - plugged into a stereo output.
Tip - Left
Ring - Right
Shield - Ground.

2 X 1/4" TS - each plugged into a mono input.
Tip - Left
Shield - Ground
and
Tip - Right
Shield - Ground.

If you have a multimeter you could confirm your cable is wired correctly, following that ^.
 
You are not looking for a summing cable.

You are looking for a stereo breakout or an insert cable with 1/8 TRS to two 1/4 TS.
