Reg Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Forgive me if this has already been covered, but could not find in a search. I'm looking to contruct a female xlr > 6 pin lemo for micron cable. Does anybody know how the hot/cold/shield from the starquad xlr female cable terminates onto the 6 pin lemo (for micron-style connectors). I solder xlr cables very frequently but haven't tried soldering lemo connectors before (I gather they can be very fidgety!) but fancy having a go in some down-time. Any tips much appreciated!

MartinTheMixer Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Reg, What is 6 pin Lemo for? Sincerely, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi Martin it'll be used primarily as a feed from foh desks (I have inline barrel attenuators), and I could also use the cable to make my dynamic mics "wireless". 6-pin lemo to plug into Micron Explorer 100 TXs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I would suggest putting a piece of paper or foil around the pin your soldering in the 6 pin connector to isolate it to prevent any accidental shorts to other pins.

soundtrane Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Six Pin Lemos are fairly easy to solder. You will need a thin tip, a magnifying device will help. best thing to use to isolate a particular pin from the other ones is Kapton tape which can resist heat up to 400 degrees centigrade.

Fairly easy Vin until you get to my age and close up vision starts going!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi Malcolm I use the visor style of magnifiers for a lot of soldering Also I use heat shrink on most cable asemblys as it's not going to the moon - lol Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
