Pre-made cables for Dynamax consoles?

[gunterm]

I have an older Dynamax console that instead of hardwiring it has these goofy DA-15 plugs for the A/B wiring of each channel. I can't really solder so rather than bug someone else to make the cables for me I had hoped there are premade cables for this mixer?

Here is the page from the manual: http://www.lpbinc.com/TechSupport/MX/Whitepapers/inpute.pdf

Wheatstone uses a crimp type DB connector for their R55 series consoles that's a little more user friendly than having to try to solder all those little pins. They use them in the 25 and 9 pin configuration, but you should be able to find these in DB15 flavor. Take a look here http://www.wheatstone.com/content/tech/docs/R55e MAN PART1.pdf

I just did two of these consoles a few months back and it went much easier and faster crimping than it would have soldering.

I use Wheatstone's crimper for my Dynamax installs.

I just found this. I Don't know if this will work.

Personally I would rather solder to the connectors than crimp them. I have a 12 channel MX console awaiting installation in my studio and I picked up standard DB15 connectors. I only plan on doing this once so I don't see this as any sort of bother.

If you're looking for crimp connectors you can try here:

If done PROPERLY crimp connectors work just as well as soldering with a LOT less work.

I've made hundreds of DB-type audio connectors using the AMP-style crimp pins without any problems. The shells are available in any DB-connector configuration, male or female.

A good crimp is essentially a cold weld. It's as good as a good solder joint-and better then a bad one.
