Hi Mylo (And everyone else)
I am about to make my first phono lead. I have just purchased some 2 core van damme mic cable, some phono plugs, a soldering iron and some other bits. The thing is, I do not have a clue on what to do. I understand that the phono plug has two parts, the centre pin and the the outer part. I 'think' that the centre pin carried the signal whilst the outer part is the ground, is this correct? Is so, where should I make the connection, and where should I solder?
The lead will have a stereo headphone jack at one end, and the 2 phono's at the other. Am I right in assuming that the ground point on the headphone jack will be common for both the right and left audio channel?
Finally, the cable has a metal braid on it, should I ground this at any end of the cable?
Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers
Rob
