Straight out of the workshop "travel kit" this adaptor is so handy to have while on the road when things don't go "right" ... we used a number of these in our roadie kits, particularly to allow for fast and easy audio test signal injection into desks using a portable audio 400/1000 generator. Quick and easy. Of course there are many other situations where this type of gender changer is just so handy ... I am not "in the game" any longer so all these adapters and bits n pieces need to find new workshops to live in ...
I am very much "into" sustainability, a manufactured component (no matter how small) represents an appreciable amount of embedded energy and to waste that embedded energy is a very bad thing, even worse is to bury it in landfill and subsequently poison our environment!
What is embedded energy?
Embedded energy is a measurement of the total energy that was used to create a component, a module or a complete piece of equipment originally and should include all processes used in the manufacture of the item, from obtaining the raw materials, processing them, making the product and then shipping to another manufacturer in the "chain" or being supplied directly to stores as a finished product for retail sale.
