Hey guys. I'm pretty new to this stuff and am planning on modding a mic to my AD700's this weekend. I want to run a single cable to the headphones so I need a 4 channel cable right? What would be a good cable for me to get? (preferably one I can buy on amazon.com)

So planning on attending a meet, I made a balanced cable for my Q701's.
 
I don't have a balanced amp, so I actually have no idea how it will sound lol
 
Specs
 
22 AWG Stranded Silver Plated Wire from some dude on Ebay (lol)
Radioshack 3-pin XLR's (lol again, didn't wanna have to order them)
1/4" TechFlex
Switchcraft Mini 4-pin XLR
about 4 ft long (5 ft without litz)

Nice Dutch.
 
Those large 3 Pin XLR's from your pictures makes them look like copper color.
 
Your heat-shrink coming out of the mini-XLR is pretty long, you should of used 3 layers and gone 40% shorter.
Doesn't really matter too much though! As long as it works!

The shrink is long because I have to cut off the techflex, Asia would fit into the XLr lol, I could have cut it shorter of course though. Idk y I made the braid end either haha

I have an RCA Cable terminated with Neutrik and some Audioengine 14AWG wire in a quad litz braid.
Pretty thick, but works nicely.
 
If anyone would like it for FREE (Shipping Ex.) let me know.
 
I upgraded my Subwoofer RCA Cable, and i won't be needing this anymore.

Here's my ATH-ESW9 recable with silver stranded wire I did last week.... the paracord was a b*tch to work with for a first timer, but I still think it came out pretty nice. Plugs were from Yew Audio.
 
Also, I had to melt the plastic on the cups where the cable goes in with my soldering iron a tiny bit, because the cord wouldn't fit otherwise, lol
