Thanks! I'm aware that they carry the splitters, but I'm in the US, do you happen to know any company based in the US?

Yep thanks a lot for the help! I got the Viablue at the end cuz the Plussound is a bit small. Thanks!

I got myself a E1DA 9038S Gen 3 balanced DAC/AMP. I have all the materials at hand to make my own cable, could someone provide me with the correct wiring to make my own 2.5mm to MMCX balanced cable? Afraid to screw this one up.

mmcx r- to 2.5mm tip
mmcx r+ to 2.5mm ring 1
mmcx l+ to 2.5mm ring 2
mmcx l- to 2.5mm ground

Easier to have this as a reference

Thanks, I'll get cracking!

MMCX R+ in the pin, R- is where the ground would go on a non-balanced cable, right?

Anyone in UK that can reterminate my SportaPros (ToTL cans) to a balanced cable that I have...?

Hi Guys, I'm looking to make a speaker taps cable for my HE-6. So, I will be getting some wires, 4-pin XLR connector, and banana plugs for the speaker taps.

I was wondering if I'm looking to hook up this cable to speaker taps, what's the awg of the wire would work best?

Thanks

I'm looking to make something like below that connects to speaker amp taps with banana plugs.

I gave the thread a search and I didn't see where someone could buy 28AWG 7N UPOCC copper wire.
Is there a place out there and will they let you choose the insulation color?

I have been wanting to make a modular cable system and was wondering if anyone has experience using something besides male and female mini-xlr. They are a bit bulky when together and I would prefer something a bit more sleek. Any idea how something like a yc8 connector would work?

Example: YC8

Dunu ripped off the design of a Lemo connector for their modular cable system. (Specifically the Lemo model 0b.304)
You'll find tons of chinese copies of this design on AE. Some of them are quite sleek and small.

EDIT: Yes, the YC8 would work. But you can find better and smaller.

There is also GX16 a bit more bulky but very cheap. You also can find 2.5mm TRRS male/female I don't think anything is smaller than that.
