How to Use a "Y" Connection When Audio Recording

On behalf of Expert Village, Kurt Glaser, KGB Studios, Seattle. Let's continue now with our sessions on "How to use a Two Track Reel to Reel Tape Recorder". Alright, so as we continue, this, of course, is a "Y" connection. We've been talking about different types of connectors here, and let's continue with that. Alright we are going to continue our discussion on connectors. This is if you have a small (see if we can get it in close here) small connect. And this is a "Y" for stereo mini and then with our other connector we can actually plug it in and make it into the quarter inch as well, so this is mini, and this is the adapter for a "Y" connector. We also have an extender, so if you're running out of cable, you can extend it. These are really kind of cool, you can actually extend the length. They are a quarter inch female on both ends, stereo, and you can extend the headphone or guitar cable, or anything like that. Always have a good type of an adapter so you can get the AC connected both into two, like in this case, the three pronger. For the types of adapters, continuing on with our discussion here, I don't know if you can see this very well, but this is an adapter to extend the length of an RCA cable. It's got RCA females on both ends. Then you have the type of adapter that will take a large mic quarter inch male, convert it into a small. And of course you'd need to do that for a quarter inch to an RCA jack and that's what this one is, RCA to a quarter inch male. Also you have an RCA, since we're talking about RCA, this is RCA to a quarter inch mono male. So RCA on this end to a quarter inch mono.
