Thanks for all the tips everyone. I've gone for an 80w Weller
soldering iron and will use a "twin 1/4" mono jacks to 3.5mm stereo
jack cable" and cutting the 3.5mm stereo jack off and replacing it
with a mini xlr. Hopefully this will improve the audio quality just by
the reduction of connections (the coupler gives very fuzzy
connection).


Thanks,
James.
