Does Alpine make a product where it takes a DIn output and turns it into an RCA output.

That's an interesting question because I am looking for a 5-pin DIN to RCA connector for an ORION product...does anyone know where I can get one?

the best thing to do is make your own
there isn't anybody making them anymore
i can check the pin out
i do beleive the top centre pin is rca gound and the pins to the imediate right and left are you signal
and i do beleive the alpine and orion are the same
unless you need to use the phantom power supply from the orion
i have the info at the shop i can try and check tomorrow

Pinhead...thanks, let me know. It probably makes sense to make my own. I'm not sure if I need the phantom power supply or not. Let me know the wiring for the power supply too if you have that.

Thanks again,

Thanks pinhead...so, both right and left have the same ground at the top (pin 3 assuming I am counting clockwise and looking at the face of the DIN connector)?

What about pins 1 and 5?

Thanks,

yes the ground for the rca or din is usually always common
pin 1 and 5 do your phantom power supply
it gives you a +15 and -15 volts output usually to run one of there crossovers or eq's
