Making your own audio cables - any interest?
Hi all
I started making my own audio cables some time ago since my old ones started falling apart.
So my question is, is anyone interested in making their own audio cables as well?
If there are enough people that are interested i would take some time and post a step by step guide with pictures with some additional information, like what pieces to use best, what tools you need etc.
so basically, is anyone interested in seeing such a thread here? 
I would be interested in this.
It can sometimes be the only way to get the exact connection you need. Last one I put together was a 1/4" splitter with a 90 degree L plug to keep it out of the way of the mixer.
Soldering iron is the most important tool! What kind of cables were you thinking of building?
Can I see that?
I only replaced the plug rather than building from scratch, as there didn’t seem to be any like it on the web.
Should come in handy for lessons next week; I’ve got another yet to be resoldered too now that I think of it.
where did you get the components from makar1.
That cable is exactly what I am looking for. I need different jacks but I do need some 90’ degree 1/4 jacks as well.
Struggling to find such a neat and tidy solution for my studio mixer. Hotch-potch of adapters is annoying.
Here’s the 90 degree plug:
And the original splitter:
Got a snakes nest of wires myself; there’s always a specific adapter you’re missing so I make do with sticking 3 or 4 together sometimes.
…is exactly what I am trying to remedy. It’s messy at the moment and this is just one small section. Cheers.
Yep, interested. Make it simple though, we aren’t all technical robot lords.
That’s a very neat job 
I already exchanged all my rca cables and also did some rca to 1/4’ jack for the send/rtrn inputs of my xone 92. also going to do some jack to xlr for my monitors. I guess the interest is there so i will post a guide later next week
Oops, didn’t realise you were providing guides rather than asking for them 
Nice job.
Which RCA plugs are these?
I have been wanting to make my own cables for quite some time, but haven’t found proper plugs yet.
They’re neutrik rcas you can find cheaper but these have a very nice build quality.
Always curious to see how people do their cables. It’s like watching someone else dj, I know how to do it, but there’s often something new to pick up on and try.
Curious to see how you do yours before I go and make cables for decks C/D to get rid of the mess
My recipe for Vestax TTs => mixer (or NI multicores) and mixer => extra A8 inputs for recording was :
*Neutrik NYS 373-0 plugs, black and red
Note : those particular Neutriks fit tightly … but don’t get all the way into the Audio 8’s semi-recessed RCA plugs. They get in enough that it is not a problem in any noticeable way though!
Note 2 : I measured the length to include a couple inches of extra play from TT to mixer to keep things neat.
However, since my A8 is a little to the side of the mixer, I finally decided to add a few extra inches on top of that so I can still plug directly into the interface. Always keep a little more room than you’d think so you can move stuff around a bit - a prior tutorial here showed cables that were just the right length, that might be overdoing it a little !
What do you use that cable for?
Are the two female ends mono? or stereo?
Are you using two headphones??? An extra output? Why not use the booth out?
I am confused here lol 
Headphone splitter, stereo to 2x stereo, so 2 people can listen to the headphone output at once.
