Thread Starter 
i wanna make a balanced cable with xlr4 plug for my senn hd650 to use it with Wa22 headphone amp. how can i determine xlr4 male pinouts? left signal, right signal and left ground, right ground?

Also, which xlr4 plug do you recommend without neutrik? and where can i find them?
i live in Turkey, i need a seller which can ship international with reasonable shipping charges.

Thanks in advance.

If by this you mean what are other easy to source options then, afaik, the neutrik is the easiest to find and is stocked at many places.

I have used both 3 and 4 pin xlr connectors from neutrik and they are perfectly fine

Switchcraft makes high quality ones, and then you could also look at the boutique ones from Furutech, Oyaide (badass), and Vampirewire if you really want to spend a lot of money. I am sorry that I don't know what shipping to Turkey would be like for those, though.

None of those 'boutique' has 4-pin.

I really like switchcraft 3.5mm, 6.3mm plugs, also furutech's 3pin xlr plugs. but i couldnt find any 4 pin xlr plugs of these brands as Lil' Knight said. I see neutrik is the best option i have right now. Thanks all for your help, much appreciated.

yes, unfortunately neutrik XX series is about as good as it gets. the switchcraft are pretty sweet too, but none of the more 'high end' connectors are available in 4 pin unfortunately.

That'll work too.

A bit pricey though.

There's no one in Turkey selling Neutrik?

i couldnt find in stores. some places offer bringing them from abroad. with this way, it can be so expensive because of taxes. best way for me is ebay etc. maybe it is not the place but also i m looking for mogami 2893 mic cable. is there any place selling online? Thanks.

Did you try Percy Audio? They have a wide range of DIY wires and connectors, including the Neutrik 6.3mm, XLR 3pin and 4pin.
They also offer worldwide shipping with quite reasonable rate.
