Putting a new end on a XLR cable


I have a pair of Tara Labs 3 meter interconnects and I’ve lost a wire connection in the left cable. (It’s playing softer than the right one) For the life of me, I can’t figure out how they built it so I can take the end off, re solder the connection and put it back together. If I can’t figure out how to do it myself, My other options are cutting the end off and buying a good XLR plug or sending it back to the company and potentially paying as much as $500 for the repair.

Anyone here know how to take apart a Tara Labs XLR cable?

Thanks in advance.

@op. From looking at pics on the net, they probably do unscrew. That is the way most neutrik xlrs come apart. However, on the Tara Labs cable, the collet that is immediately behind the xlr plugs would block that from happening - unless the collet is removed.

Thanks curiousjim. I wonder then if they have bonded the two sections together? Anyway, it looks like it's out with the cable cutters :((
