Hi there,
Would anyone know of a company that would custom make some adapters for me?
I'm after a right angled, mono jack adapter 3.5mm plug and 2.5mm socket x 4.
I've searched high and low but it seems these do not exist!
Thanks in advance.

Head East - a long way.....:D There will be a Chinese supplier that will do it but unless you're in the market for 100's or 1000's expect to pay a phenomenal price.

You could do this with a small pcb, pcb-mounted sockets and a..... plug (somehow??). It would be 'open-framed' unless you commissioned someone to 3D print a case.

Sir Ferrino . . . . .

I have a good feeling that you are not going to want a machined aluminum housing and cross diamond milled finger grips and gold plating . . . . . . . at $56 a copy.

But I did see some right angle plastics here that only had the 3.5 male mono, BUT there was access room to mount a 2.5 female within the side shell that the cord would normally come out thru.

Then wrap the connection with I ½ turns of tape( isolating the slightly moving contacts actions ) and degrease the inside of the plastic housing and use just enough CLEAR E-6000 for potting to go around the threads area to mount that connector.

EXPERIENCE:
Silicone rubber gives too much ---- Epoxy is PERMANENT - Super glue is super permanent - Hot glue is lousy - - - - -E3000 is just right, plus you can dig it out with a pick / heavy needle / #11 Exacto blade , if repairs are ever needed.

I see that I degraded E-6000 down to 3000 on the second entry . . .E-6000 is correct.
