As the title states, I'm looking for patch leads made up or the plugs so I can make my own. What, with the conversion to digital there must be boxes full around somewhere. If leads, I'm after the usual XLR mal and female at the other end, as well as 1/4 inch TRS. At the moment I have some on loan but need to get fitted out with my own for the Audek.

Try Redco in the US - mogami TRS leads at really amazing prices.
Buying the plugs and cable separately is very expensive.
For economic reasons, I would purchase 600mm (or longer) Mogami TRS cables, cut them in half and solder XLR's on the end.

Hey Chris,
i've got a shit load of Rean TRS connectors (good quality, made by neutrik just a cheaper variant) if you're after any. Also have about 20 12" TRS to TRS mogami/rean patch cables if you're after some too... Mogami is 2552 cable.
let me know
cheers

Chris, does this mean looking for plugs to use with a longframe bay? So, same shape as TT but 1/4" sized?
Sorry , I don't have any (well, maybe one or two somewhere).

Hi Chris
How many do you need of each variety?

At a minimum 24 of the plugs so i can wire up my own male and female XLR at the other end. So 12 leads would do if they where TT 1/2 inch at each end.

Cordial cables make long frame patch cables or Neutrik make a long frame TRS connector
