What adapter do I need to control a NEQ6 Pro?

Hi all,

I used to control a HEQ5 with an EQDirect cable (USB to something like RJ11?). On the NEQ6, the control cable input isn't RJ11 anymore but something that looks like serial? Can I use the same EQDirect cable with just a RJ11 to serial adapter? If yes, what is the exact denomination of the adapter I need?

Thanks!

Check before buying, but I don't think the serial is actually serial (TTL?) or was that the RJ11 cable.

Anyway, it is different and I think you need something like this:

Thanks for your answer!
I already own an EQDirect cable, but the RJ45 version. I'm curious as to wether I can simply use the same cable, and just add an RJ45 to DB9 adapter, but it looks a bit more complicated than I thought...

Hi. They're only cheap items anyway. The adapter is probably going to cost you more and is another thing to go wrong.

We use these . Get the db9 version.
In the order, message to tell them to ship from your continent.
