Wonder if anyone can put my mind right on what seems such a simple job.
I have an old 100 watt PA system that my local band use, and the speaker cables are WAAAAAY too short to run to my board if we set up even a narrows stage set. I've invested in 20 metres of Van Damme 2x2.5mm studio twin axial cable and a set of Neutrik jacks to make up some reasonable replacements for the 3metre ones we are using at present.
I've been searching without success for the "approved" way of soldering these cables. My Logic says positive core to tip and negative core plus two Earth braids to the sleeve. Same connection both ends. Seems ridiculous that there is no info I can find out there-I can't be the first person to do this!
Anyone? Really grateful for a reply -I must be getting uncertain in my dotage!
