Does anyone know how many conductors are used in the stock Grado cables?

Pin 1 Ground Pin 2 Left Positive Pin 3 Left Negative Pin 4 Right Positive Pin 5 Right Negative I first considered a 4-pin XLR connector but wanted the ground pin for an unbalanced adapter to the amp. The tab shield is not a reliable ground return path. |
