Thanks @carlsbad
I’ll check those out. I’ve bought from them before. Chris is good people.
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.

BEWARE. Some cables use teflon insulation. When teflon is heated past 250C, it releases HF, one of the most corrosive and toxic substances known. You have a few alternatives: solder outside, at eye level or above. Or use a ventilated fume hood and a respirator (that's what I do). Or send them to someone who is equipped to handle teflon. Or pray. Good luck. |
Thanks @terry9 As I’m getting older, my hands sometimes shake, so most likely I’ll be taking them to someone to be soldered, but if I do it myself, I’ll solder them in the garage. |
