Focal Utopia stock cable color code


Took my stock Utopia cable and changed the connector to a 4 pin balanced.  Here is the color code:

Left- Red
Right- Green
Ground (2)- White

There are two sets of 3 wire bundles.  One has Red, White, and shield.  The other has Green, White, and shield.
The shields are tied into the ground wires on the unbalanced plug from Focal.
I also connected them to the corresponding white channel wires on the balanced connector.

The Utopia sounded way better on a balanced output.  I was very pleasantly surprised.  It may just be my headphone amp, Sennheiser HDVA600, but I doubt it.

Worth the trouble or cost sending it out to be rewired.
