4 Pole what to what mono?

Sorry. I bought 2.5mm trrs jacks for my m1060s and these take mono.

 

[buke9]

Just to clarify are these to be used on the cup end of cable?

Try tip and sleeve

 

[buke9]

Well I would go with tip as + and bridge both sleeves to make sure the connection mates well for the - no harm done just don't know where the 1060 jack makes the connection on the 2.5mm connector so that would be the best to be sure.

What's the term for the piece of sleeving that would go over the top of my paracord into the 3.5mm connector to "fill the gap" so to speak, I have an oyaide jack, the plug rear is 6mm, so I would need to fill the remainder of the gap between the outer of the paracord and the inner edge of the oyaide jack plug, thanks guys.

You can use a couple layers of heat shrink tubing. There is thin wall and thick wall, some with adhesive inside, some without. There are also rubber grommets that can take up the gap between a connector and the cable. My favorite are the red, green and black grommets shown, I can buy those with different inside diameters and then cut them to fit specific connectors if needed. They are also good for marking left and right channels as well. They are approximately 1.75 inches long to start, the inside is tapered so as you go to the larger end it will accommodate larger cable. They can act as a strain relief for the cable and you can make them fairly permanent with the use of adhesives.

Hello everyone, I own a DX200 DAP and as they just released the "AMP3" amplification module including a 2.5 trrs line out output. I am wondering, if possible, how is it possible to make a 2.5mm TRRS to 2x 3-pin XLR interconnect to feed my balanced amp (Cavalli Liquid Carbon)?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Paladin79]

Is the TRRS using two grounds and two hots? If not you would be trying to run unbalanced into balanced and that is not going to give you a balanced input anyway. I seem to recall the liquid carbon taking an unbalanced signal and processing it to be balanced but I believe that is through a normal unbalanced input. Maybe I dreamed that or I am thinking of another amp but I try to only hook balanced to balanced and never run a balanced output into an unbalanced input.

 

[Albator75000]

Yes it has what is called "phase splitter" or something like that. I think the 2.5 mm TRRS output is balanced L+,L-,R+,R-. Could this work? I messaged iBasso about this setup and in their response it seemed like it was possible. The LC has a Right Left dual 3-pin XLR input also.

 

[Albator75000]

This is the module output:

You should be fine then, just match up R+R- and L+L- on each cable and you would be fine. Alanmarcus posted a link recently that showed that particular XLR pin out so it is a matter of getting the 2.5 mm pin out.

Buke was kind enough to let me test out a Liquid Carbon but I have not had much time to build cables yet other than XLR to XLR for balanced inputs. I am also more prone to be more cautious with equipment belonging to someone else lol.

 

[Albator75000]

But the jack has 4 connections the two XLRs have 6 (combined). I thought one of the 3 pins on the XLR plug is for "ground". What do I do with that?
I am not an expert by any means and new to DIY. This one confuses me

 

[Paladin79]

You only use two pins on the XLR's as I recall, you should be able to find that with a bit of research.
