Little Labs STD cable question
Little Labs STD cable question
Does anyone have a little labs STD cable that they can take a few photos of internally? Mine is broken and I want to fix it myself since Little Labs told me they will not repair it, but will sell me a new one.
Thanks
Thanks

Well I figured it out after staring at the circuit for a while. I was able to solder it back together correctly. The STD worked like a charm for my session tonight. Let me know if anyone else has this problem. I saved myself $50 and would be happy to help you as well.
Regarding responses, there is a circuit board inside the cable on the TS side, so it is not a matter of knowing how to wire a TS to an XLR.
Check this product out, it is really great when it is not broken.

Yeah, part of the buffer circuit resides inside the 1/4" jack housing. If I had seen this sooner, I could have sent a photo. Glad you got it worked out.

So what is the pinout there? One of the XLR pins must have a DC voltage on it, no? What is that voltage and which pin is it? If it happens to have 9V there, one could probably work it out for use as phantom power for active instruments like acoustic-electrics or active basses. Not that anybody probably cares, or will bother, but I've been against batteries inside instruments for years.

I have one and in my current studio over the last 4.5 years, 8/10 times I get RFI with Radio Disney coming out of the guitar amp speaker cab... I don't have RFI problems with ANYTHING ELSE! I need to get more (3-5 more would be nice) STDs or the Radial version pretty quickly, but I'm a little scared!

Open it up and install some ferrite beads in series with the inputs and outputs.

You can also get some of those snap-on ferrite beads that can be used over the ends of that cable if it's the source.
I've been able to slay rf here rather well with that stuff. The only place that beat me was a friends house in LA right across the street from a 50,000 watt AM radio station. There even my fillings picked up the radio.
