Previously MOT: Cables For Less
Could I get a quick confirmation if this would work as I'm planning. I want to mod one of my headphones to take detachable cables but I don't want to have to mark the cable with L/R. Could I connect the drivers to a pair of 3.5mm TRS females, left would be soldered to the tip only, right would be soldered to the ring only. The cable itself will be terminated with two 3.5mm on one end and a 6.3mm on the other end. For the 3.5mm male connectors I will wire both tip and ring.
Would this wiring plan allow me to just plug the cable in and not care about left and right?
If I understand what you are saying, I believe you would be fine. Standard output from any device should have the ring as right channel. As long as you do not change that configuration anywhere in the cable it should work. Naturally the grounds should be attached together.
