[Orbster]

Hello all,

Forgive my stupidity please but how do I go about connecting my PW Flex TT5's to my Elinchrom heads?

Thanks very much.

If the Elinchroms are fairly ordinary, a 1/8 jack male to male, you can use a stereo jack cable (like the speaker cable on your pc) but an electronics engineer might tell you a reason you shouldn't :shrug:

Nooooooooo. Use a 1/8th Mono to Mono!

Phil's otherwise spot on though- that's exactly what I use.

I've previously suggested that before too (sorry!), but in practice, I've found that some elinchroms are finicky and only like mono cables. So yeah, you want 3.5mm -> 3.5mm mono jack cables.

I think this would work. I bought the Elinchrom one though.~
