[sudo-discuss] Re: How to make a Mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable?

I looked at the AKG K7XX. It’s wired as single-ended stereo. Three connectors- Left +, Right + and ground -. I believe this is the adapter cable you're looking for- https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EK300--akg-ek300-straight-headphone… Or this one- https://www.amazon.com/Coiled-Replacement-Headphone-6-35mm-Adapter/dp/B08MV… Lots of other choices on the interwebs. -Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 -- From: Nicholas Sun <olassun2(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, December 2, 2024 at 12:01 PM To: Kent Leech <kent(a)kentleech.com> Cc: <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] How to make a Mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable? I'm trying to connect an AKG K7XX (headphones) which is: * Mini-XLR Male * Stereo I'm trying to plug it into a V-MODA BoomPro (audio+microphone) which is: * 3.5mm Male * Stereo (I think) I don't know about single-ended or balanced but this will go into a laptop's 3.5mm headphone output port On Mon, Dec 2, 2024 at 11:25 AM Kent Leech <kent(a)kentleech.com> wrote: > What is the equipment you are trying to connect? > > Mono or stereo? > > Single-ended or balanced? > > A better description of what you are trying to do will help immensely. > > -Kent > ----- > > Kent Leech Illustration > http://www.kentleech.com > kent(a)kentleech.com > +1 (510) 504-0634 > -- > > > From: Nicholas Sun via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> > Reply-To: Nicholas Sun <olassun2(a)gmail.com> > Date: Mon, December 2, 2024 at 10:21 AM > To: <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> > Subject: [sudo-discuss] How to make a Mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable? > > Hi all, I've been trying to find a Mini-XLR Female to 3.5mm Female > adapter but I haven't been able to find one.
