  I'm trying to pick one of these balanced out female panel mounts up so I can get it, mount it and make a cable to go in it....as yet, no luck searching google/ebay for it. Anyone know what it is called, and if it is better in theory than the Hirose panel mounts/cable connectors ?
I want to re-direct the taps cables at back to front or similar idea for a mobile amp mod.

Of course! I disassembled one of the ear cups to get to the driver to figure out the proper L/R ground wires.

 


Ah Ok, I am really bad at this, my first attempt I thought it didn't matter because I thought that the ground is ground but after reading how the balance amp works, so I had to redo. :)

Never used multimeter, this was my first time :) still lot to learn.

Thanks !

there are a lot of online tutorials about how to use a multimeter. for cable work, just learning to use the ohm-meter is very advantageous. 
 
but yes, getting the proper L/R ground is important...it's certainly easier when working with headphones where you can easily access the drivers (like the d7000). for some of the grados it's a bit harder b/c the cups are attached with glue/adhesive, but a little heat and they come right off as well. the akg, from what i can remember, were pretty easy to disassemble as well (the k501 was pretty easy).

A digital out cable for an X3 :

Using Rean mono 3.5 and Rean rca jack, sleeved in some para cord
 
Made a 4pin XLR to 3pin XLR split cable for a Friend :

 
using Neutrik plugs and Mogami cable,  Sleeved in texflex (its a short cable) Not so happy with the quality of the red heatshrink...

Hi!

Is it safe to use a female mini to balance interconnects to produce a balance line out? 


IPOD > mini to mini > DUET > balance to female mini > Headphone

THANKS!


 


Better to ask in the cable comments and questions thread.
