I want to reterminate my GS-1000 to balanced 4-pin XLR. I think the cable has 4 wires so this should be possible. Can someone confirm this?

My question: The wire soldered to the tip is L+, the wire soldered to the ring is R+, How can you tell which of the two wires soldered to the sleeve is L- and which is R-?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm really a beginner when it comes to this sort of thing...

yep no problem, if there is 4 wires (as is the case with most HP cables) You just need to find which is which and off you go. balanced GS1000. why dont you do a recable while you are there??

I can't think of anything other than opening the cups and see what cable carries what signal with a multimeter.

I don't have the GS1000 but I guess you can see the wires in each earcup through the grill?
If possible, I think everything is solved.

Just use a multimeter and measure the resistance. I just did it yesterday testing my K701 balanced through one driver. I knew the red wire was right + and yellow was left +. The other 2 wires were black and white so just measure both combinations and one will give you close to the rated impedance of the headphone.

It'd be easy if the GS1k's cable has 4 different colors. I doubt a beginner will dare to open the earcups of the GS1k.
