This is to give a heads up to.....some headz that don't know.

Get these and you will be able to hook up any audio source with standard phono plugs directly to your MPC. This might help out some of you. If you have a built in Pre-amp in your Turntable...with these you can hook it up directly to your MPC...any MPC.

Hook up you VCR, Discman, Minidisc, tape deck, mp3 player, etc. a heck of a lot easier. They make sampling with the MPC easier!

Make your MPC have a standard phono input and output! It's not pro, but hey...it will open up some options for a lot you! You can get them at a local Radio Shack!

ONE!

i'm confused about the different leads.

i think i have the ones you mean, you get them with minidisc players so that you can record from your stereo right?

if so, i measured the end and it sure aint 6.35mm.

This is what I'm talking about:

You plug in the 6.35 jack into an input or output jack on your MPC. You should get at least 2 of these adapters. Now on the othere end is a standard phone jack. Now you can hook up say your minidisc with that cord that they give you to hook up to regular stereo equipment.

If you want to purchase these on-line go here:

They are 3.99 each USD. They are gold plated! I bought these myself so I can do shit where there's no professional equipment. And I can hook up my MPC to damn near any audio source now, and for both recording into the MPC and output. I bought 4!
