format converters

Hello,
I have issues I am trying to find a format converter that takes modular 1/8 to 1/4. I need 16 channels to my mixer. So something that has 8 channels would be nice. So people that are using out board mixers in their setup how are you connecting this up?

So, after looking at around 2,000 modules I found this brand Mazzatron. So, 8 hp with 8 jacks of 1/8 to 1/4.

Having 16 guitar cables snaked out of a rack seems problematic.
That's a lot of weight pulling on a module or two and probably why you havn't found one yet.
The Mazzatron module pushes the 1/4s out the back or the module.
I don't know how that could work very well.
I know you've got a plan, but you might be forced into having submixes.

im thinking about the same. maybe check out erica synths link. that could work. also doepfer has one but one with 2 outs that would ge a little expensive and would take a lot of rack space too.

These are valid concerns. Maybe I can find one of the nw2s modules. These are on DB25 snakes. The company seems out of bussiness but I am sure some will pop up on reverb.

That Mazzatron module doesn't need any power and you won't need to play around with it much when it is set up. I can't help but think your best bet is to not rack it, but just kinda have it out on its own so it doesn't get pulled on due to being in a fixed position. You can always cover the sides with something if you're worried about that.

It also would be possible to use only cables without any additional module.

Icant recommend the cordial ones. I trusted them before i bought the expensive modular cables from them. They are the worst of all i can tell and the cables you posted got the same jackes. Just my experience.
