Suitable cables for patching VX351 to Voyager?
Quick question as above. Would these do the trick?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0971508102
[Hosa CSS 890 BALANCED PATCH CABLES 3FT 8PCS. 1/4" TRS JACK TO 1/4" JACK.]
Would they also do for audio routing?
(PS - those who've been watching my saga, my Voyager is now in the same country as me, with the distro. Next stop - the shop. Then hopefully ME- ).

No, you want to use unbalanced mono 1/4" cables for patching. You can buy sets of them pretty cheap online. I keep multi-colored ones so I remember what I've patched where!

Thanks. Do they need to be TRS cables? Can you link to any?

Just to be clear, mono plugs are, by definition, not (T)ip (R)ing (S)leeve, but only (T)ip (S)leeve. Although TRS plugs can be wired as mono (by connecting the ring and sleeve together), they're not found pre-assembled like that on the market.
Commercial 1/4" cables are either stereo (balanced) with TRS plugs, or mono (unbalanced) with TS plugs.

Re: Suitable cables for patching VX351 to Voyager?
They need to be TS cables (unbalanced mono), TRS are balanced stereo. These are what I use and they do just fine:

Yes. And the price is right. But a bit short in length (you'll need to keep your VX351 close to your Voyager with only 45cm (1.5 feet))

So maybe go for three feet?

Re: Suitable cables for patching VX351 to Voyager?
Yes, unless you can position your VX351 near the top of your Voyager (that's where all the connectors are located on it) then 1.5f could be long enough...
Or unless you have a Voyager XL, then you can position the VX351 next to it on the left side and 1.5F long cables would also be long enough...
Otherwise, go for 3F.

Okay, last one now.... These don't specify TS but they do say mono, so they'll do right?

Re: Suitable cables for patching VX351 to Voyager?
Yes indeed. You can tell they're mono by their visible TS only, in the picture.

Even though the TS cables are what's required, I just wanted to add that you CAN use TRS cables as well. The ring connection is just ignored. I do this all the time with my Foogers and Voyager.
