How to connect a vintage Uher reel to reel to your gear. Understand and even build your own adapters

[@utrlimited2323]

Timely and helpful. Can't believe how recent you made this. Thanks a ton :)

[@SycamoreWillow]

Ha ha ha thanks! From all the subreddits I read I get this question a lot. Thought it might make sense to make a video.

I have the 4200. It’s the stereo version. What’s really cool about these is that they’re not only great for recording live shows (or anything that you want to have the tape sound) but, they’re great to use for tape delay. Especially, being that the UHER 4000 (mono), 4200 (2 track two channel stereo) & 4400 (4 track two channel stereo) all have four speeds. You can get the cleaner delays using the 7 1/2 ips & 3 3/4 ips speeds & the really dirty delays using the 1 7/8 ips & 15/16 ips speeds.

[@SycamoreWillow]

Hey thanks for checking out the video! I have yet to try my Uher as a tape delay. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@visualguerillaFILMs]

Bought a UHER Report 6000 ordered some DIN-cables on Amazon and everyhting works well. AND its fun to use as a tape delay.

[@SycamoreWillow]

Hell yeah! Have some fun

[@visualguerillaFILMs]

@@SycamoreWillow Thanks! So far i was able to upload my first try BUT it will get more experimental in the future :)

[@timmotion6494]

I have the 4000 Report. It would be good to connect to modern...!

[@SycamoreWillow]

If you get stuck I'm happy to help! DM me over on insta or on the Hainbach subreddit.

[@bleeooptv]

oh thanks for this, was actually looking for exactly this video!

[@SycamoreWillow]

I'm taking requests! But seriously I'm glad it was useful to you and thank you for watching

[@bleeooptv]

@@SycamoreWillow I really like your solution with the box adapter, seems very sturdy as well as looking nice. Where did you get the empty enclosure?

[@SycamoreWillow]

@@bleeooptv I just searched for them on reverb. There's a seller in the United States that makes them but maybe you can find someone in Europe that makes something similar too to save money on shipping

[@denniswaakopreijers115]

Hi, I liked your video very much! I was however wondering, can you connect the line out of eg the op-1 to the phono or radio in on the Uher? It’s different voltages right? Thanks in advance!

[@SycamoreWillow]

You absolutely can connect typical audio level sources to the Uher! I do it all the time and specifically I've done it with my OP-1. Thanks for stopping by :)

[@OsborneMcclintic]

you are awesome!!! thank you so much for the important info!!!

[@SycamoreWillow]

I am so flattered you liked this! Thanks to you as well.

[@SophyWongMakes]

Amazing! Thanks for this awesome explanation of your box! I just got one of these recorders and I definitely want to build my own version! Just curious about your 2 TRS inputs. I see the port on the recorder is both input and output, did you connect one TRS connector to an input pin, and the other to an output pin on the DIN5?

[@SophyWongMakes]

Ahh! I just found your other video, which answered my question :) Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6eqkIKOiJKkjNksi=ahUaL9F-XtI0KyqQ

[@SycamoreWillow]

OH hahaha, nice! Apologies I didn't have time to respond to you sooner and more personally. As you mess with the machine please feel free to comment more here or find me on the the /Hainbach subreddit where I'm one of the mods. We have a lot of great tape and test equipment nerds there.

[@FabianFalconett]

Thanks for this video. Can you share where you got the parts to make the adapter box - mainly the box itself. Not seeing anything in the description and minimal luck searching. Thanks!

[@SycamoreWillow]

Hi Fabian, I'll drop a link in the description to where I got the box. Be warned that they often are out of stock on this box. Also, if you need to learn more or just want to chat about stuff, you can find me on the Hainbach subreddit. I'm u/jasongonzales23

[@FabianFalconett]

@@SycamoreWillow Thanks! I was able to find the box on reverb. Getting ready to go down this rabbit hole. (my NOS UHER just got delivered today.) Will definitely look you up on Hainbach's subreddit.

[@SycamoreWillow]

@@FabianFalconettawesome, happy to help

[@waltmodul7948]

The adapter is not so bad. ! You make connections in one go. And the adapter cinch to 6.3 female is cheap too ! DIN Adapter to stereo in and out for 6€ easy at amazinien and four cinch to 6.3 mm female you can find for less than 1€ a pice . I gave mine a taktile and beautifully tape wrappe .so the are fixed together . Because I don’t like cinch in the studio. Uher Report stereo IC 4200 the most beautiful one

[@SycamoreWillow]

Thanks for adding to the options! I personally won't buy things on Amazon if I can support a local or independently owned business, that is another factor for me. But as far as solving the connection problem your solutions look great as well. Thanks!

[@mrobinson8190]

This is awesome man!!! If i pay you, would you build me one? If not i understand, but that would be really cool

[@SycamoreWillow]

Sure thing, let's chat! Head over to Reddit and message me. I'm a moderator on /r/Hainbach and my handle is jasongonzales23

[@laverne506]

I have a Akai4000d reel to record er and a yamaha Digital mixer 10xu and 6i6 interface do you no how to hook Thanks

[@SycamoreWillow]

In your case it's almost certainly just a matter of getting 4 RCA-to-TS cables. Two going into the recorder and two going out. So connecting instruments to the reel-to-reel recorder you'll only want to connect the line inputs and outputs of the reel-to-reel to your interface. I'm not familiar with your interface so I can't really give you any advice on that. But in general if you can get signal routed to the lineouts of your interface you'll be able to record to tape. If you connect the line out from your recorder to line inputs on your interface you'll be able to record the output from tape to your daw. Hope that helps let me know how it goes!

Hey, I’m having this issue with my Uher Monitor Report 6000, but it doesn’t use DIN-5… of the 7 connection points on it, it uses 6 different connectors.. some have the same number of pins but arranged slightly differently.. it’s extremely confusing to me. Also, I’ve only been able to find user manuals in German so I can’t even RTFM my way through it…

[@SycamoreWillow]

Hey there I'll see how I can help. I suggest you find me on Reddit as jasongonzales23. You can DM me there or post something to the Hainbach subreddit and maybe the hive mind can help as well

[@shuno_music]

@@SycamoreWillow awesome, that’s actually how I found this video. Thank you, I’ll definitely do that.

[@SycamoreWillow]

That's really funny but yes seriously send me some close-up photos of all the jacks on your device over on Reddit and I will totally help you out

[@visualguerillaFILMs]

i'm using DIN5 cables with my UHER 6000 and its works fine BUT make sure they are pluged in correctly.

[@cristobalgarciabelmont2616]

hiii!!! where did you get the box? I love the idea of the box!

[@SycamoreWillow]

I just searched on Reverb for project box with "D" punches for the holes. The "D" punch is a standard for panel mounted jacks for pro audio. I like an company called Redco in the USA for jacks and cables.

So you're not only a great musician and a great person, you also know many technical things! Thanks a lot for your work ✨
