I need to make a mono audio connection between my pc monitor and a DVR receiving images and sound from a house camera security system. My monitor has its own stereo speakers and a stereo jack socket on the rear. The DVR has a mono phono socket OUT.
Im assuming I need a stereo jack plug at the monitor end otherwise one of its speakers will produce nothing, not even mono. I stand to be corrected on this.
The choice is either to fit an adapter to the monitor and then simply connect the two devices with a male phono to phono lead, or find a cable with the appropriate connectors on either end. I can find adapters but they tend to have two female phono connectors, not one - not sure if this matters or not. If I dont use an adapter, then having trouble finding a 2 metre cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug at one end and a single male phono plug at the other.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
