I’m looking for low-profile right angle MIDI and 1/4” TS/TRS cables to connect my equipment inside a Magma Carrylite XXL.
Hosa cables are ubiquitous, but I’ve seen far more streamlined options in pics and videos. I’ve found a few options on Amazon but I’m not sure if they’re shit or serviceable.
If anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears.
@DaveMech I recall you have a video demonstrating a pretty clean looking setup…
Cheers, and thanks in advance for any and all input.
What have you found on amazon? My general rule is for short cables, spending a ton of money on super fancy cables isn’t worth it. So if something looks better or fits better for a case setup I’d give 'em a go.
I know its awful, but amazon will also basically take back anything no matter what…
I’ve looked at Rockboard and One Control MIDI cables. There are a variety of TS/TRS cables. I guess I’m just looking for some advice in the hopes of mitigating the time spent buying and trying…
Understandable. I have no experience with those. I usually buy Hosa like many others. The only other brand I know well is Seismic Audio. I use their instrument cable and MIDI cables all the time as well. I also have passive PA speakers from them that kick ass for the money. I am absolutely a cable abuser and both brands have stood up to my mistreatment over years and years.
For right-angled midi cables, make sure they angle the correct way! I have a few that cover the port next to them on some machines. I also tried the ones that let you change angle, although the plugs are bulkier.
Can recommend having a look at EBS cables for low profile, space-saving patch cables and MIDI cables.
For TS cables, I used the Boss BCR pedalboard cables. They’re meant for pedalboards so you get a roll of cable and a load of connectors, then cut it to size. They’re not massively cheap, but I managed to get some good deals on ebay.
Not sure if they do TRS versions though, potentially not given how the connectors work.
There are always some ppl around who build to order, usually they named „guitar pedal board custom cables“. Try to search on local ebay or guitar forums, alternatively I can share contact of my guy, probably he can ship worldwide…
