I've got a couple of questions about making cables with Mogami 2893.
I'm going to be making several cables for my AKG K 702 and AKG K 271 Mk II headphones. These have detachable cables using the mini XLR plug of course.
Mogami 2893 is described as StarQuad, which presumably refers to the fact that it has four insulated inner cables and a screen creating five connections in total.
First question is: I'm wondering what I should connect to what?
Obviously the screen goes to the ground pin and so I guess that I pair off the cores so that two go to each signal pin on the mini XLR. I would then do the same with the corresponding connections on the jack plug. Presumably that is what needs to be done, but maybe I am missing something.
One of the cables I'm going to make will use the 3.5 mm "mini jack" socket. This is for use with my portable amplifier. I'm wondering if the Mogami cable and its four inner cables is too large for a 3.5 mm mini jack? If so I wonder what other easily obtainable options might be suitable?
