The first in a series showing how to solder various audio connectors and make audio cables. In this one we make a 6 wire cable for connecting a DAC with a 4.4mm balanced output like a ZenDAC or KannAlpha to a balanced amplifier that takes 2 XLR connectors - The pinouts for these connectors are
Going from tip to sleeve on the 4.4mm TRRRS jack
Tip = L+
Ring = L-
Ring = R+
Ring = R-
Sleeve Ground
And the XLRs
Pin1 Ground
Pin2 Positive
Pin3 Negative
For this cable I have used 84 x 0.071 slik covered Lits but any wire will be fine and we have wrapped it in 550 paracord
