IV. External Mode Setup
Before you begin setup, you are going to need some cables and adaptors. You will also
need to determine if the "KEY IN" connector on your transceiver is a ¼" phone jack or
something else. We will assume here that it is. You will have to make adjustments if it
is something else. Likewise, we are assuming that any manual key you plan to use has
a ¼" plug on the end of its cable. Below are the cables you will need, Amazon product
codes, and a cable number we will use in the setup instructions.
Cable 1: KEY IN/OUT. This cable connects the DMX-40
KEY IN/OUT connector to two separate ¼" jacks. The
RED one (Right Channel) is for your external key, and
the BLACk one (Left Channel) we will hook up to your
base station. Amazon product code: B017IK07UC
Cable 2: This is a standard
3.5mm stereo Y cable, with a 3.5mm male stereo plug on
one end and two stereo 3.5mm female stereo connectors on
the other end. Amazon product code: B00GN76HAG. Any
stereo 3.5mm male to dual 3.5mm female Y cable will do.
Cable 3: Stereo 3.5mm cables 4 feet dual pack. Amazon
product code: B076BFZDG2. Any stereo 3.5mm cable with
two 3.5mm plugs (one on each end) will do. You will need 3
of these.
Adaptor Plugs: These are 3.5mm email to ¼" male stereo plugs. There
are 3 in the Amazon pack, product code: B08CKH55SX. These are
required if you have a ¼" jack on your Key In jack on your rig and/or a
3.5mm plug on your key. You may need all 3 of these.
On the following page, Figure 8 is a setup diagram showing how all this connects
together. Obviously, if you understand the diagram, you can arrange connections using
alternate cables, but if you are not sure, use the diagram exactly as shown.
