Sound card audio out to old Grundig Radio (5 pin din) - Computing and Networks

avo · 19-03-2002, 08:43

What I need is a lead / instructions to connect the audio out on my soundcard (where the speakers normally plug in), to the 5 pin din (female) connector on the back on my old & much loved grundig concert boy.

I s'pose i'm hoping someone will know the config of the din plug on the back of the grundig so I can make up a lead, but I guess all the 5 pin dins are a standard pin layout........

Also the config of the jack plug on the souncard would be handy!

Yours hopefully!

p.s. Before anyone asks, its 'cos I dont want to go out & buy another cruddy set of amp'd speakers, & have another power suppliy etc kicking around my desk when I can use the rather nice amp & speaker (yes, just one!) in the radio.

Pinout for a PC 3.5mm soundcard connector:

Tip - left
Ring - right
and last one is screen.

There are many standard pinouts in the world for the same connector!

The best bet is either to find someone who has the user or service manual.

Or...If you are into electronics, especially with a name like avo (a make of multimeter)

...you could open up the Grundig and check the wiring of the din connector.
