Jack, Cable, Panel

2004-05-14 by metafoetus2002

Hi,

I finally did it and ordered my 3rd panel to complement my Animal+TKB:
PRNV, NCOM, PDIV, SCPR, VCF2, MIX, DSG, ACPR, RES, DCSM. YES! YES!
YES! I will try to
enjoy the lead timeĀ…!

On a related note: I have to interface my Serge with some 1/4" equipment. Q=
uite short
distances (1 m or 3 feet max). So I got hold of one quite special cable: Ba=
nana plug with
associated banana cable (like Pomona), but this banana cable ends in a spec=
ial 1/4" jack.

This special jack has a small screw on its side. When I loose this screw, I=
can just pull out
the banana cable. No soldering. Inside this jack seems to be a kind of need=
le. When I stick
the banana cable into the jack, the open end of the cable gets pinpointed b=
y the needle,
thus establishing electrical contact. The needle is connected with the tip =
of the 1/4"
connector. The screw is just used to hold the banana cable tightly in place=
inside the jack.

I love this cable. I love this more than these fat 1/4" instrument cable wi=
th banana jack
soldered to one side of the cable. So I want more of these cables. But I ha=
ve absolutely no
idea where to get this kind of jack, leave alone how it is called.
Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Jan-Hinnerk
