Keith Rubow's Products



Well, I started out by building these items for myself because I needed them. They must have turned out pretty good, because people started asking for them. So here they are.

Patchbox

PatchboxI started to record most of the dances I went to, but once in a while I found that there was no patch box, because I was the only one recording and the club did not provide a patch box. So I built a small patch box that I could carry around easily. I had four high level outputs and four low level outputs, all RCA jacks. Someone suggested I add some 1/8 inch mini phone jacks, so I added two high level and two low level mini phone jacks as well. I have two 1/4 inch phone jacks (connected together) for connecting the box to the speaker output of the amplifier.

The patch box comes complete with one mono 1/4 inch phone to 1/4 inch phone cable for connecting the patch box to the speaker output of the amplifier, and one RCA to stereo 1/8 inch mini phone cable for connecting the patch box to your tape recorder or laptop computer. At just $25.00 (plus shipping) it's a steal.

RF Remote Control, USB

USB Remote ControlMy newest RF Remote Control system interfaces to your computer using a USB port! It uses a transmitter with six pushbuttons. A velcro holder keeps the transmitter attached to your belt where it is always handy  It uses a receiver that gets its power from the USB port. And it comes with a CD containing all the software you need. The remote control software can be used to control any Windows application. A button on the transmitter can generate any mouse click, keystroke, etc. to any application.

Of course I include my free SdPlayer software for remote controlled playback of the music at your tape group. I also include all the software you need for recording and editing your own MP3 files.

This is the newly redesigned second generation USB remote control. The price has been reduced from $75.00 to only $65.00! The receiver is now smaller, and the system has been improved to increase the range and reliability.

Smartphone Recording Cable

Smartphone CableThis cable is for connecting a smartphone to a patchbox for recording live dances to MP3 files using a suitable audio recording app, such as Audio Recorder (available from the F-Droid app store). Of course, your smartphone must have a headphone/microphone jack. The cable includes a level adjustment knob for setting the recording level.

For instructions on recording using an Android phone, read my article here, or see my instuctions on my MP3 Recording page.
