Hi all,
I have bought some Gotham GAC-7 cabling along with Neutrik NC7MXX and NC7FXX connectors with the intention of soldering my own tube microphone cable for a D-EF47 build. I've soldered a few standard XLR cables in the past, so I thought this would be relatively simple. Now I see that there are seven colored wires (the red and the blue are slightly thicker) in addition to the ground housed in the cabling, which will leave one wire as odd man out if I am soldering the signal ground to one of the contacts. My question is: is there a best practice for which wires to solder to which contacts? I'm assuming I clip the end off of one of the five thinner wires to make room for the ground, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any advice you may have!
