Which 1/4" cables for Global

Hi All,

Wondering if balanced TRS or unbalanced TS cables matter for the Global. Or, does it vary by what you are connecting to?

The WD does not have a balanced output but 2 normal unbalanced line outs.
You connect them with 1 or 2 guitar cables (or similar) to your iDock.
I recommend rectangular plugs on 1 end
its safer for the WD plastic jacks ...

The "balanced" iDock connection is for a microfone with an XLR plug ,
to keep it noisefree .
To connect the WD with a balanced cable you would need a DI box .

Using 90° plugs on one end of each cable is a great idea. Very important to prevent breakage on the plastic jack panel.
Especially if your studio looks like a spaghetti factory like mine.

thanks for the help on this. I wasn't able to get the 90 degree at the local shop, they only had 15' with 90s on them. gonna look for an adaptor though.
