Q: 1. I want to connect a laptop to an Anchor AN-130. A direct patch gives me hiss. Connecting two laptops to a switcher and then onto the amp can degrade the signal to uselessness. Will this help with this problem?

A: Yes, the 318 will provide a balanced mic level output so if you use the mic level input on the Anchor it should help eliminate any noise caused by impedance mismatch. You may need to use the ground lift switch on the 318 if there's a hum. It may also be helpful to turn down the treble control on the Anchor speaker slightly.

Q: 2. Can I use this to link my laptop to RCA inputs on a television?

A: Yes you can use this device to link the video part from your laptop to a TV. You will have to connect an audio cable if you want to play sound.

Q: 3. Which 3.5mm contact is connected to the RCA center pin?

A: The center pin of the Calrad Electronics 35-512 Stereo 3.5mm TRS Male to RCA Female Adapter is positive as well as the pin on an RCA plug.

Q: 4. Are the tip and ring (L/R) bridged?

A: No, they are separate pins and not bridged or connected.

Q: 5. Will this allow me to connect my 3.5mm lav microphones to the XLR ports on either a Tascam DR-40x or Zoom H5 or H6 ?

A: The Switchcraft 318 is for connecting a line out 1/8'' source to an XLR mic input. For an 1/8'' microphone that is battery powered, it would be more ideal to use a Kopul mini to XLR adapter (B&H # KOAXMMF). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/985832-REG/kopul_a_xmmf_adapter_xlr_male.html If you are using an 1/8'' microphone that is not battery powered and instead uses mic plugin power, then you would use the Rode VXLR Plus adapter with the phantom power on your DR-40X or H5 or H6 turned on (B&H # ROVXLRP). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1358231-REG/rode_vxlr_mini_jack_to_xlr_adaptor.html

Q: 6. Does this convert an unbalanced signal into a balanced signal?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 7. If you have two sources that don't natively balance the signal, do you need a 318 on both ends for it to be balanced?

A: The Switchcraft 318 doesn't work in reverse, so it can't be used at both ends of a signal.

Q: 8. If I plug a pair of stereo headphones into the female mono, will the signal be converted to mono and be distributed equally to both sides of the headphones? Thanks!

A: This cable is designed specifically to be used with a Hammond Leslie pedal. If attempting to use as an output cable, stereo headphones will not receive both sides of an output signal.

Q: 9. Volume is diminished when headphones are fully plugged into extension. Have the extension plugged into my Mac Studio. If I insert the headphones partially the volume is normal but one channel is missing. Plugging headphones directly into the computer there is no issue. Tried two different sets of earbuds. Do I need a different type of extension?

A: If you are using a stereo headset earbud with inline microphone then you need a TRRS extension cable, as opposed to the Pearstone TRS extension cable, like B&H # STMUHSMF1M for example.
