Mono'd Out ic 's.

[icehockeyboy]

Right.....I use a play out system when I'm doing my DJ bit, and at some venues I just connect to the in house system with a pair of normal ic's, but, sometimes the left - right stereo separation on some tracks is so far OTT that the vocals are sometimes from the rh speaker, and the rest of it comes out the lh speaker, leaving a wacking great hole!

Unfortunately there's no mono switch on either my kit, or the venues amp, so, after that long story, I need a ' mono'd out set of ic's, or someone local to Nottingham that can bodge me up one of my own.

Looking at a 3 metre pair.

Am I right in thinking attaching a piece of cable across the feed of each cable will have the desired effect?

Hi Craig,
Yes and no. It will certainly give you an L+R signal, but a better way to do it is to combine L and R with two series resistors.
If there is any antiphase L on R or vice versa, as in soundstage manipulation in the mix, then frequencies can cancel out without using series resistors.

Alan, would that be necessary in a, let's call it, 'disco environment'?

Not really :)

Thanks!
Or should that now be....merci!
