- Out of my mind on dope and speed
A friend has offered to lend me his REL Quake to try on the end of my Arcam A85. He can't lend me his Neutrik speakon cable as this is fitted under his carpet.
I know there are other options for connecting this sub, such as a phono to phono connection, and 3.5mm jack plug input for use on a computer.
I have some cables that might work in these circumstances.
Option 1: I have a spare phono cable that I could use from either the left or right pre-amp out from the amp, into the phono input on the Quake (there is only one phono input apparently). This would only give bass from one channel though.
Option 2: Alternatively I have a 2 x phono to 3.5mm stereo jack which I use to connect a MP3 player to my amp. Could I use this in reverse from the pre-amp outs into the 3.5mm jack input on the Quake?
Option 3: The final alternative is to go and buy a four pole Neutrik Speakon connector and a length of 3 core cable.
For the purposes of a quick trial, would Option 2 (or at a push Option 1) be OK?
Thanks in advance for any help.
