Adaptors ?

[Stone]

Hello all, so with My fractal FM9 I need a 6 foot Female XLR to a Angled Male XLR (into my Audio Interface) problem is cant find any in my area only thing i found on amazon is only 1.5 footer obviously to short, however I did find a Female XLR to Female 1/4 TRS that would work, which i could keep my existing cable
only thing is will I have a Loss of signal Quality ? using an adaptor, the adaptor is good quality Planet waves

Any thoughts or Experience ?

Again thanks all

Why not a regular xlr cable?

will I have a Loss of signal Quality

Or you could use your FM9 as the audio interface instead; connect via USB to your computer. Keep everything within the digital realm and there won't be any signal loss. The FM9 is a really good audio interface.

Concerning the question of buying an adapter, I decided to get a cable with the correct jacks and skipped the adapter part (last time I wanted to do this); so there's still only one connection made. Pig Hog has some good offerings in Canada.

I'm finding it hard to imagine why you need an angled male XLR for your audio interface - can you show us a photo or a diagram?

There's a 5ft cable on Amazon Canada anyway:

Or else an adapter:

@Stone I recognise that electronic candle remote. @DrewJD82 has changed all our lives!

Anyway, I see what you mean about the interface placement.

Honestly think you're better off going direct from the FM9 via USB. By using your MOTU interface you're doing 2 extra conversions? D/A -> A/D. The sound quality will never be better than going direct.

Just FYI even if all you could find was a short patch cable-style XLR-TRS you could still plug an XLR cable into it as an adaptor.
