Owen Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I have some stereo Neutrik jack plugs from the days I used to run balanced lines out of my Mackie desk on jack sockets. I no longer need these. Can I reuse the plugs and ignore one of the tags so that I can wire ordinary instrument leads in mono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yeppers. Wire the signal to the tip, and the ground to the sleeve, you can ignore the ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Thanks. I guessed as much, but my guessing has historically been flaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It's a good idea to wire the ground to the sleeve AND the ring. This way it will power on pedals and active basses etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
