Hi everyone-
First time recabler here, unfortunately my target is not particularly forgiving, a pair of Shure e2c IEMs (short in the cable). I've been doing a bunch of googling and surfing and thus far have decided on the following parts:
-Switchcraft 35HDRABAU (http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=770)
-Mogami W2534 (http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=504)
I also have a few of questions:
-If I pull the wire out of the jacket and braid it together, then twist the segments going to the ears, is that sufficient protection from microphonics? I use these for going to the gym, occasional jogging. If not, what do I need to do?
-What braid should I use for the quad wire section?
-What is the best way to twist the cables after the Y section? Do I need a tool? How do you keep them from untwisting over time?
-At the Y, is it sufficient to heatshrink over each of the pair, then some over both pair? I'd like to keep weight down so its not tugging on my ears.
-Any suggestions on heatshrink? If I am only using it at junctions, does it matter what is used? Also, 1/8" for the 1 pair, 1/4" for 2 pair?
-I've seen IEM recables using some kind of clear tubing used for the over the ear section, is this useful? Where can I get it?
-With the switchcraft plug I'm using, do I need to do any kind of strain relief other than hooking the wire into the cable? A pointer or tip on what to do would be great.
Thanks so much in advance!
