Title: Connecting Crack Amp to an Audio Interface
Post by: amerk84 on May 12, 2016, 07:26:28 PM

I have a MOTU Ultralite Mk3 audio interface that I use with my computer. The MOTU only has 1/4" balanced/unbalanced outputs (see image attached). Are there any guidelines I should follow when looking for a 1/4" to RCA cable to connect the MOTU audio output to the RCA inputs on my Crack amp?

Easiest thing to do is buy 1/4" male phone plug to female RCA phono plug adapters and put them on one end of your regular interconnects.

Is there a 1/4" male phone plug to female RCA phono plug adapter on par with the Bottlehead RCA cable or will any adaptor make due?

I would give the Switchcraft parts a shot:
