They stopped the oil leak in the gulf!
They put a giant Wedding ring on it and it quit putting out...
Okay first and foremost I should have made ONE MAJOR DISCLAIMER (and this is my fault). It's an acoustic electric. Not simply an electric guitar. I would never try to run an electric through the PA. I've run my acoustic electric though plenty PA systems, so I know it works in that sense (as far as sound).
Speaking of which, I don't think I've mentioned that the in-wall length of the wire is going to be ~100-125 feet (from mixer to wall jack). Even if it does not work for guitar, it's still nice having a TRS combi jack so that I don't have to run 2 strands of wire.
Gotcha. I thought phantom had to do with balanced stuff.
Also, I figured it would be TRS at the jack since I've plugged plenty of mono (TS) cables into stereo jacks (TRS) and they worked just fine.
Again, like my disclaimer at the top, does using an acoustic electric change things? My assumption is that it does since it doesn't use a pickup, like a traditional elec. guitar.
See, here's what I figured. Whoopdeedoo if it turns out not sounding good! For the price, it's cheaper to try it and have it work than to never have tried it at all. I mean, in the least, you come out with a balanced XLR AND TRS jack instead of just XLR. That's wonderful for different applications!
Okay. Well, good to know that if it doesn't work there are options out there to make it work if needed later on down the road.
So that would be the "jumpers" so to speak to get both the TRS and XLR into 1 - 2 conductor shielded cable, then, correct!? Looks like it to me!
EDIT #2: This wire would also be an option. So I guess the decision is THIS or THIS.. Looks like the difference is that the cheaper one (1st link) is tinned copper, the more expensive (2nd link) is bare copper.
Well it uses a passive pick-up I think? Piezoelectric pick-ups with a preamp in the guitar body? Which means you should be ok running it into a mixer. Correct me if i'm wrong on this.
And 'if' you need a 'direct injection' box they start out pretty cheap.
Yep. You just join the correct XLR and TRS terminals together and run the cable. The second in the pic is something I put together if you use the switched TRS version.
XLR
- 1 - Ground
- 2 - Hot
- 3 - Cold
TRS
- Tip - Hot
- Ring - Cold
- Sleeve - Ground
Keep us updated with this.
Yeah, I think that sounds right. I couldn't find any information on the specific electronics in mine, but here's my guitar.
Would you recommend soldering jumpers on the actual XLR combo jack or should I solder all leads in the solder cups, then join them an inch or two back from the jack? Jumping sounds cleaner, but I'm not sure how tight that would all be...
