Mark T Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Rather than wait for the official waterproof Headphone Adaptor Cable 3.5mm (1/8-inch) to 6.35mm (1/4-inch) lead i made my own with a 1/8" Male To 1/4" Female Headphone Lead and the WM08 blanking screw that comes with the unit i just drilled the blanking screw out and glued the 3.5 (1/8) end in then used a silicone washer for a watertight seal easy.

Toddbbq Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 the WM08 is not waterproof. The connector would be better suited for the headphone connector on the control head. Also the wireless signal will not work when the EQ is submerged under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddbbq Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 No problem as I would hate to see the WM08 ruined as I am using mine for the first time tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.M Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 But if sealed correctly and another fitting added that would take a CTX or SDC or AT waterproof headphones, you have a neat solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 This seems like a winner for my use where i just add the M12 on the other end. The main problem was getting the plug going into the box water proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdv Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 From all the measurements I just took looking at my dustcap and the 800's headphone jack, this could work IF properly sealed BUT it wouldn't work in the long run, you are dealing with plastic threads on the dustcap. Sealing between the dustcap and the headphone jack, after ensuring the headphone jack is properly inserted to make the connection and then adding a .075" thick rubber seal or O-ring and you would have a temporary accessory cable. Personally, I think I'll wait if I can't get the proper threaded connector to adapt. I'd hate to mess up a new machine that I've waited 6 months for....
