    Default Will it connect RCA to Aux??

    Hey Guys,

    I have a gig tonight, and the in house sound system to this house has an aux out cable, my mixer is RCA. Now, I have an RCA to Aux out cable, but I dont have an RCA to Aux in. If I go buy an aux in to aux in cable, and connect to the sound system that way, will it work???

    Thanks,

    Your post makes absolutely no sense.

    Post pictures of the gear, because apparently you have no idea how to explain yourself.

    My guess its a home stereo/theatre wih 1/8 inch connector (normally labeled as aux), but I could use a more detailed explanation.

    If you and ask for an Aux/Aux cable they would laught at you or sell monster cables...

    While it makes no sense, it sounds like the answer is yes...

    Is the cable for the house system not detachable? Weird that it would be a hardwired aux cable ... they just WANT people to plug in their ipods....

    but yes aux in to aux in will work or RCA output to Aux input

    I understand what you're saying. I think the confusion is coming from the fact that "aux" is not a type of connector.

    Is the connector on the house system a round hole (ie a 1/4 inch connection)? Or is it a slighty bigger round hole with three smaller holes inside it (ie an XLR connection?

    Either way, I'm pretty sure that so long as you can find the adaptors to change your RCA to whatever you need to plug into the house system, you should be fine. Although less adaptors is always better.

    actually what you should do is split the rca's into 4 1/4'' then take those 1/4'' back to 3.5 then take the two opposite 3.5s and connnect them into a banana pizza and take a spin class.

    what everyone else is saying, 2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female Y-Cable.

    but why even do that? just bypass the male y cable and plug the rca into the aux input. direct line.
