Robert Buncher Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I run a bag with an SD302 and an Edriol R-09 as a backup recorder. I have been going from the headphone out to a G2 and sending that to the director. I would like go be able to chose between L or R channel and figure with a Y cable I could do this. Could I just keep the stero mini jack in the G2 and run the Y cable to the Edriol? Then switch channels by changing mini jacks. Could I just wire one jack tip and ground and the other jack ring and ground? Of am I missing some wiring issue? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Buncher Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 New Mexico, The R 21t looks like a very elegant solution. I'd like to have one but I guess I'd have find one used as they are no longer made. Thanks for the suggestion. I made the Y-cable and it splits out the signal but there is a hum from the side that is not connected. I left the unused cable from each side float; perhaps I should have grounded it. I am OK at soldering but I don't necessarily understand circuitry. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Buncher Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 No, I checked his website and did not see the R 21t listed as a current product. I will email him just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sounddguy Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Could I just keep the stero mini jack in the G2 and run the Y cable to the Edriol? Then switch channels by changing mini jacks. The tip ring sleeve into the G2 is NOT stereo. If you use the tip sleeve (usually left if you are using an insert type calbe), you should be sending mic level mono to the G2. If you use the ring sleeve, then you should be sending line level mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Buncher Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You're right, of course, mic/line on the G2 input. This should work if I simply make two cables. One from the left channel of the Edirol and into the G2 and a second cable from the right channel into the G2. And then switch as needed. But what I would really like to do is find the Peter Engh hardware as suggested above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Buncher Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I did make two cables, one each for left and right channels. Both line level sent to the ring and then grounded the tip and shield. They work fine. I emailed Peter Engh and my assumption regarding the R21t was incorrect.

Robert Buncher Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Peter Engh was willing to make an R21t for me which I received last week. It is the perfect solution. Just what I was seeking. Looking at the quality of the build and finish it is easy to see why his products are so esteemed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
