I'd rather not. Especially as I already have one. A few years ago I
used the ancient (found in parents garage around twenty years ago, and
it was ancient then) beast to solder a 2.5mm stereo jack to twin 1/4"
mono jacks. The 2.5mm jack was so fiddly I had to buy extra of them
because I kept melting the plastic sleeves inside the plug itself.
When I managed not to melt anything, the lumps of solder were too big
to get the outer casing on. Eventually I do believe I got something
which worked. It lasted less than a year.
Perhaps I need a new soldering iron?

Hi,
I want to connect a breakout box for use with headphones. The
headphones themselves have a mini-xlr connector (for connecting the
cable to them) and breakout box has 1/4" mono jack outputs.
To connect the two I currently use:
1) 2 x 1/4" Jack to Phono connectors
2) Twin Phono to 3.5mm stereo Jack cable
3) 3.5mm female to female coupler
4) 3.5mm jack to mini-xlr
Does anyone know where I could get either (delivery to UK):
A cable to connect directly from breakout box 1/4"
- or -
A better (ie consisting of fewer components) configuration of cables/adapters?
I'm thinking this can't be a uncommon scenario?
Cheers,
James.
