Previously, customers have relied on
home-made or expensive one-off custom cables
for connecting their Merlin heads to the MX2, but with the Adapter Kit,
standard off-the-shelf cables can be used, and can be easily sourced
should yours break. Often, small mistakes when making custom cables
would result in days worth of trouble diagnosing the issue. The Merlin
Adapter Kit eliminates these uncertainties.
In addition to
offering a simple way to connect the two devices, the Merlin Adapter Kit
also adds a much needed feature: a power LED for the Merlin telescope
heads, which lack one. No more wondering if your Merlin is powered up,
or if there are other issues. The LED will let you know that the Merlin
has a power source and is on.
This kit comes with the adapter,
a 6" RJ-14 cable, and a 6' TRS 3/32" cable. Should these break or wear
out, they are easily sourced online or at local shops for a few
dollars.
