Great video, great explanation ! Realy useful.

Have you looked into braiding wire using kumihimo plates or circles?
That was a great tutorial for jewellery makers. Thank you so much.
Thank you
Hai brother can u help me choosing cabel for my tfz t2?what 8 core cabel should i buy?
so glad i found your channel, bro
no bullshit, just straight up detailed tutorial
subsribed :)
also, you might wanna do some experiment with cable or paracord sleeve, just to add extra protection and aesthetic value for your cables
my ksc75 and kph30i are ready for their cable upgrade :D
keep rockin', brother
sorry for my bad english :)
Thanks for the comment! You can check out @Sgaudiohive on Instagram, we have done the braided /paracorded stuff for quite a few years!
@@sgaudiohive oh ahahaha sorry i didn't know that you guys already did that xD
i definitely will check it out, need some inspiration for my beloved cans :D
Goooood
Which video shows you how to make the connector you start braiding from?
Can I make this using a speaker wire?
How to attach mic in cable
Hi. I bought a RCA cable 16 cores occ. But i looked the construction and it doesnt has all the wires direct connected. Is that have any reason ?
Looks great! Is there any difference bewteen wiring for dynamic driver vs balanced armature? Thanks so much.
same wiring so no issue with that
@@sgaudiohive Thanks!
I'm a bit confused trying to find the right AWG or mm for this project. You've stated earlier you use 24 gauge but the link to purchase the wire says the Outer Dimension is 1.52mm. Could you help me understand this discrepency? Were you referring to the inner diameter? Thanks again.
Awg is wire gauge, the dimension is the thickness of the overall wire, you can basically do this with any wire you like
I love this cable braid tutorials with all dame color cables, his is genius under idiot's 😂😂😂
Diy upgrade iem earphone bro pls. Vido / t200 / mx500
Hi bro ineed knows cable spek cable the cable name occ gold/silver
....Thank I'm learning to know for price grade Good cables ear phones
If I wanted a 1.2m (4ft) IEM cable after braiding, how long should my cables be to start?
Depending on your wire thickness, the thinner it is the longer you will need. A tough gauge is 1mm thickness wire 1.25m x4 or 5m total, also that depends on how tight is your braiding, the tighter you braid the shorter the cable is
@@sgaudiohive Thanks! Really appreciate it! And great guide! I was able to get my 8 wire braiding done. Now just need to finish with my MMCX connectors. Really appreciate the work you put into your guides!
What wire thickness did you use? I'm planning to get 0.75mm copper from local shop and use that. Will that work?
how long of the cable do I need to make an 8 core braid of 1 meter cable as the end result ? just trying to estimate for the wire purchase
thanks
About 1.15m or 1.2 depend on your wire thickness, the thinner the longer
@@sgaudiohive thanks
If im doing jack to jack should i go with the same config (2L, 2R and 4 ground) or 3L, 3R and 2 ground?
use the same config
Nice video!
Do you know how to assemble a 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm single-ended cable?
That configuration should not work
@@sgaudiohive This is not true, but you loose benefit of balanced connection. But yes, it is possible.
@@tomaszbarwinski7155 when the -Ve of the L and R are shorted from a balanced into a single end, the channel becomes mono
How do I braid a 16 wire cable? Do I do the same pattern as the 8 strand but 2 wires at a time or is it different?
That's what manufacturers usually do, so yes
where would i find the wire for a longer cable if i want to diy it
Can email to us sales@sgaudiohive.com
Hey, what size of heat shrink are you using? Thanks.
Usually 5 and 7mm
Do you have tutorial for soldering 8 core
Yes, we will be doing up soldering guides, connector guides and wire guides in the coming weeks!
great job bro.. what about with Mic would you make a tutorial?
czcams.com/video/V8H7Z_gYZ1c/video.html
Here you go
@@sgaudiohive i have watching your tutor, but how about 8 wire with mic addition?
@@sgaudiohive i have diy 8 braid wires without mic , and i want to add mic in my diy.
@@sgaudiohive hi bro for 8 wire with mic concept is 2 wire for right, 2 wire for left , 4 wire for ground and 1 wire for mic?
What AWG is the wire used? Anyone know
24
May i ask how long each wire?
Depends on the wire thickness, generally 1.25m each if it's 1.25mm. 1mm wire will need 1.35m each. Also Depends on your braiding tightness, The tighter u braid The shorter it will be
Do you sell custom cables?
Yes we do on www.sgaudiohive.com
Hi.You can guide diy adapter 2 pin to mmcx ?
hey ! we have plans for that!
Yea would be nice
What if u made a 36core cable lol
"What if"
@@sgaudiohive maybe one day the gods will do it
I have seen 16core cable from trn already
And they are probably going to do 32 soon lol
Wow
…starting a Go Fund Me for a manicure for you…
😂😂 I dont know where to put this out as I have explained a few times that I had to keep both thumbs nails long for modding work(prying into Iem and headphones) and soldering work(resting the hot soldering metal onto the nail itself to reach very small parts)
I don't recommend watching this video while your high, I'm so confused.
Silver plated is garbage, you need to use silver filled copper wire....
Pure silver is the way to go. 6N if you can find it, but 5N is fine too. Kimber KCAG variable strand silver interconnects are the ultimate for high end systems.
