Members StratGuy22 Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 I know there's probably variations, but what would be a ballpark hole size? I'm going to make a small L bracket to mount a jack out of stainless, and I need to know what size hole to punch. (didnt bring one) I'm moving the headphone jack on my StudioLive, not physically, but just a little jumper cord to a new jack, just the way the case is laid out...Since its TRS, will a piece of mic cable suffice as well for this? Thanks in advance!!! Case pic! I know. Masking tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miko Man Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 Based on quick on-line research, it looks as if at least one of the Switchcraft TRS jacks is designed to fit a 3/8" (9.5 mm) hole. If you have metric tooling, 10 mm should be fine. I have not measured any myself; YMMV; and there are undoubtedly variations. (AH and others can chime in with corrections.) However, 3/8" sounds about right, given a nominal 1/4" male plug. Mark C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dennis a Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 How about one of these instead? 15/16" [ATTACH=CONFIG]341164[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 If the bracket can touch the frame of the SL, it should have an isolated bushing. This is to prevent ground loops OR in the event that the headphone out uses a class D driver IC or a BTL headphone driver circuit. If you are not 100% sure (I am tot), you should isolate the ground (sleeve) Standatd size for Switchcraft style is 3/8" BUT there are all kinds of Asian varients and if you use isolating shoulder washers, the hole diameter will be different.

Members agedhorse Posted December 23, 2011 Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 Which is also isolated if you don't install the bonding jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'm thinking of having a 90 degree TRS plug on one end, and then run it to a bracket attached to the case it's sitting on. I can isolate the works from the frame with 1/8" Teflon gasket material I DO know the dimensions of the D-Hole, maybe I'll make one of those and a 3/8" one as well! Thanks for the info guys!

Members TimmyP Posted December 25, 2011 Members Share Posted December 25, 2011 Use a D series and mount it on the side of the doghouse. Or you could mount a ThickPanel jack on the side of the doghouse. (The latter is easier, the former is better.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
