Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Wire for patch cables?

2012-07-17 by mr julian

Cable suitable for making patch leads is very available.

though it takes a fair bit of time to make just one lead, and you are 
going to want up to 4 times as many patch leads as you have modules.

I make my own audio leads generally, but not patch leads.
I have a combination of doepfer and http://www.adinfinitummusic.com/ 
patch leads. I can't make them for less money than these sell for.

anyway - maybe if you really want to have the feeling of having made 
them yourself, searching for "single core shielded cable" should put you 
on the right track.

here's a local (to me, in Australia) example:
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/W2030/single-core-shielded-audio-cable
I've used this to make longer 1/8" plug cables for running to midi-cv 
converters and my 101, etc, and it's what I'd be using if I wanted to 
make all my own patch cables.

here's a hi quality and expensive example of what you might want.
http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=62
though this may be a little large with outer diameter at 4mm. Check with 
the plugs you want to use and see what cable they'll take.

have fun!
