Connectors

CivilServant

Is there any device known to man that will accept a 3.5mm jack for input and accept a 3.5mm jack for output? And doesn't cost more than €10. This would save me €300 on an av receiver, that I don't really need.

Here's the connector I'm thinking of:

---

sound direction

---

>

sound source............................................................................receiving sound (computer speakers)
3.5mm male end

---

> female end [adaptor] female end <

---

3.5mm male end

I think this is what you're looking for:

Part CN02234 is a 3.5mm socket to 3.5mm socket stereo adapter. Cost is Stg0.37 each (about EU0.50). CPC's handling charge for orders under EU25 is EU5.00, but you should find it pretty easy to add some other A/V bits and pieces to the order to make it worth your while. (They do a wide range of A/V cables, adapters, etc.)

What i'm using at the minute is 1 to 2 way adapter. Let me explain, its normally used for where you have one female output, and want two sets of head phones, but if you just plug in a male <-> male wire in one side, and headphones (or indeed another male<->male wire), and don't plug it into anything, it just joins the two.
JUnclear i know.

looks kinda like that, they're about ~€2 in any electrical shop, but the quality may not be the best, cuz thats what they're not designesd for.

edit:
I didn't realise the link you posted was so cheap.

Thanks tenshot! Exactly what I wanted.

...Cornflake, are you sure that idea works? If it does, that just might be the ticket as those types of connectors are everywhere. Cheers

Yup, its what i use. i have a spare male <-> male cable, its handy for the computers in collage, they're on the ground so normal headphones aren't long enough to reach, so its basicallt an extension cable. Works well, i've no complaints with it.

Tried it myself and it works well, well done Explsv_Cornflk:)
