hi guys,
just wondering if I understood it right. so if I made a headphone extension with a 3 conductor cable, to implement the resistors into the extension, I'd place the resistors like below?

(ground=common ground)

 

[Punslayer]

you are correct sir.

 

[ablaze]

thanks!

ok. now to be more adventurous.
how would I carry out a 4P-->4B conversion?

 

[Punslayer]

can't help you with that one i'm afraid; i don't even know how the construction of the 4B's differs fro the 4P's. Good luck though

Hi Ablaze,
I was thinking of making a 4P -> 4S converter too, but I don't know where to buy the appropriate resistors! Where did you find yours? I'd prefer not to hook up a bunch of them in series...if I can find one around 80 ohms that would be perfect, but 75 would be ok too.
Thanks!

Digikey has Beyschlag .4w 80.6 resistors and Mouser would probably have vishay/dale 1/8w rn55 of similar values.

Many people use

Digi-Key
Mouser

Lots of resources are listed in this thread.

Since you don't have your location listed I don't know if you are asking ablaze because he is in singapore or because he made the cable. These companies are in the US.

TA

EDIT: Bah, I'm slow.

Ah! thanks so much. I have no location listed because I move around a lot...right now I'm in India, but soon I'll be back in San Francisco...then on to Toronto, and then India again.

In case anyone cares

Didn't mean to be mysterious

BTW, for the 4P->4S converter, does the wattage rating of the resistor make a difference? I can't imagine a headphone line overloading a 1/8W resistor, but I'd like to be sure.

 

[was ist los?]

1/8 should be adequate. You are probably refering to the Vishay/Dale RN55s right?

 

[88keys]

Yes, the Vishays. Thanks!
