Any suggestions for a under 10$ L-shape 3.5mm cable with a mic thats on aliexpress?
Anyone here have any idea on how to reterminate a 2.5mm TRRS female to 3.5mm TRS male? It's an 8-core adapter and I'm trying switch the 3.5mm TRS end to a 3.5mm TRRS plug (I'm pretty sure it needs to be wired Astell and Kern pinout). I have a good working multimeter, but the biggest issue for me is that every wire is the same color (silver-plated wire), and it looks like the replacement 3.5mm TRRS plug I purchased has the ground on the backside of the other 3 rings; never seen one like this before.
When I check it with a multimeter, I'm getting 2 L positive, 2 right positive, 2 ground positive, and 2 sleeve positive. Is this right? Should I go ahead and attach 2 of each to their corresponding rings / spots? I still haven't been able to find the Astell and Kern pinout for the part of the plug where I'll be soldering to. Any help is greatly appreciated!
the 2.5mm TRRS balun will be a great help in your case, to distinguish the cores.
Sorry for the delay in replying to you on this, Slater! I ended up putting the adapter and soldering iron up for a while, because frustration lol. And now I've apparently decided to give it another go. As far as I know, it needs to be the A&K pin arrangement? It will be used with the Nano Black Label however; I may be wrong. I can figure out what's what with my multimeter, but I'm not sure about the ground and the sleeve wires. I purchased a 2.5mm TRRS balun thinking it might help some.

Message Ian, he probably has some cheaper ones that are not showing on the site
Thank you! I'll ask him. Prices seem fair, and nice to know customer service is from an individual rather than company. I am in the US, so will need to see with shipping.https://www.cosmic-cables.co.uk/product-page/furutech-ft-2ps-hd6xx-series

many thanks, I'll check in with Trevor or Plussound@teknorob23, not a problem at all, I have used them a few times and found the service to be great, which is why I plug them when I get a chance, I hadn't seen that you were in the USA noverbeck, apologies, if I were you I would
go to Trevor at Norne audio and steer well clear of double helix.
How can I combine 4 wires to 1 (with or without cover)?
