I've always wondered. Whats the pin out for dual 3-pin XLR's?

 
Quote:

You take the 3-pin XLR and make one for the left channel and one for the right.  I don't know what you're playing at, but balanced operation is either one 4-pin XLR, or dual 3-pin. 
 
If this is some young whippersnapper exercise in ironic humor, I gotta admit, I'm not getting it.

Pingupenguins, yeah, it's the fifth row in the first connector table. Lurkumaural is right that it's already there, but I can try to rewrite it for clarity if that's the problem you have with it.
 
Your help is all appreciated, guys, but a little more calmly, please. Calling out people starts a feedback loop and lead to fights, and I'd rather this thread be as accommodating as possible. Even if it gets a little frustrating at times.

I got confused with channel shield. So if I was working on a dual 3pin. I could theoretically for the first pin?

Regarding your headphone connectors table - the 2 pin for Senn HD600/650/25, etc. While proprietary, does have a Cardas alternative that fits - the HPSC.
 
Great thread.

anyone got a list of places to get silver plated copper wire? 

 

[Pingupenguins]

I guess we should get a list going of places to buy stuff...

This is the place I use:

Hello guys,
 
I ran out of wires, I had this nice 22AWG  copper covered in silicon that I bought from "lasser emporium" recommended by Grokit(?), I liked it because it was very dosile and thin, I could fit 6 of those in a 7 strand paracord easilly. can anyone recommend me a similar product?
 
thanks in advance.

In the US, Navships is the best deal for hobbyist quantities of 25' (7.6m). You can't do better unless you're buying 100m reels. Only real downsides are the sleeves are either Teflon or Kapton, both of which are pretty stiff.

In the US, Testpath been recommended to me. The strand count is kinda' low, which might or might not matter. I haven't bought anything there yet but intend to.
 
There are a lot of vendors based in Hong Kong selling 12 through 22 AWG silicone wire for pretty cheap, free shipping. I don't know anybody who's tried one of them yet. Search for silicone wire on Ebay. (Don't forget the "e" in silicone...)
 
As for Laser Emporium, there used to be something at laseremp.com, but it seems to have gone defunct some time last fall, or fallen in a black hole or something.

I am awaiting samples from a new supplier selling stranded copper and stranded silver (high strand count) in soft teflon. He has had it manufactured specifically.....
 
When I get the samples I will post pics and give you guys the link. He will also be selling other HQ DIY connectors and associated stuff. It's quite exiting for me being in the UK as we don't have this sort of supplier here at present.

i'd be interested in this.
 
ive just ordered my SE215's so once they come im gunna have a bash at some custom cables for it.
 
does anyone know how the MMCX connections are wired?
 
im assuming when making a cable i need 4 wires comng from the 3.5mm a Left, a right, & 2 grounds?
 
this then splits at the Y and i have a ground and right, then a ground and left. ground soldered to outer piece and then the signal (left & right bits) go to the centre pin?

^ You will find all the pin outs you will ever need on the 1st page, a lot of work has gone into collating these and they will prove invaluable in the DIY journey....
 
Anyone interested in quality wire check out here. He also has Copper and Silver Plated Copper in his other listings and is a great guy to deal with.
 
Pics added. This stuff looks real nice quality.

Thanks, ive looked at this but as you can see it only mentions 3 outputs on the "standard" 3.5mm jack.
 
Left +
Right +
Ground
 
every custom iem cable ive seen seems to have 4 wires coming from the 3.5mm. im taking a guess here but i should solder 2 wires to ground? one for Left & one for right?
 
 

 

[monoethylene]

The standard 3.5 mm jack has only 3 solder points. Left, Right and Ground. Nevertheless, if you are using one cable for the right and one cable for the left, you will have right +, right -, left + and left -, in terms that right + and left + are the signal going to the headphone and right -, left - would be the mass or ground.  Further you can also solder the cable shield in addition to the ground pin of the jack. But only to the jack..
 
Maybe this will help you:

So is there any plugs out there that actually can fit the Mogami 2534?
