Hi all,
For now I'm taking the inexpensive way out to recable my HD800s. I want to cleanly remove the stock Sennheiser 1/4" plug and re-terminate with a Switchcraft 4 pin male mini-XLR. I'll then build various adapters to use my HD800s with Switchcraft 4 pin female mini-XLRs going to 1/4" single ended, 4 pin full size male XLR, dual 3 pin male XLR, etc.
My first problem is removing the stock Sennheiser 1/4" plug - I've tried all sort of methods to try and 'unscrew' the housing from the plug so I can desolder the wires. Alas it seems that the stock 1/4" plug is pressed together and can't be easily disassembled, if at all. Am I correct or is there a magic method to disassemble this plug?
Worst case scenario I'll just cut the stock 1/4" plug off and then use another 1/4" plug from my inventory to build a single ended adaptor, discarding the Sennheiser plug. Any thoughts or help with this would be appreciated - pic below of the stock Sennheiser connector.
