H9000 DB25 analog – cable recommendation

[andylama]

Hi all,

Loving the H9000 so far.

So, with the DB25 8 channel analog I/O…are there recommended/approved cables?  Would any DB25 analog snake cable work?  I’ve never dealt with analog audio on a DB25 connector.

Advice is appreciated.

Keep up the amazing work, guys!  This box is full of magic!

Thanks!

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the kind words.

We generally use Hosa snakes around here – they are adequate for our purposes but I can't officially recommend them as we don't subject them to the rigors of use on the road or in a busy studio.  I have the 1/4" TRS variant. There are male and female XLR versions too of course if that's what you need.  The pin out is standard, as specified in AES59.

Thanks, jbamberg,

That the connector pinouts are stadard to an AES spec is what I was looking for.

BTW, LOVED the Gear Club Podcast interview with Richard Factor–RIVETING!

Thanks very much!

Make sure you get ones with slim DB25 connectors.  The sockets on the H9000 are close together.  I had to modify a set of old monster DB25 > TRS.  Mogami are what I would recommend personally.  They will fit unmodified and are excellent quality.

Thanks rvickers,

That’s some damn good info.  I wouldn’t have thought about the DB25 headshell girth, and would have been pissed if I bought s set that was too fat.

Can’t go wrong with Mogami, so I’ll go that route.

Thank you very much for the practical insight.

Andy
