Before you twist the copper ground strands together , separate them in two bunches. Twist them together once so that you have a twisted section next to the rubber and two groups of strands. Then tin them where they're twisted. Then you can cut one bunch off and have a smaller lead to solder.

0:15 People complain about the price of good patch cables but, in actual fact, it is the connectors at the two ends that make up for most of the cost (for usual lengths found in home audio or even in studio systems).

Very well explained step by step Semyon! Any chance you show how to make a RCA mogami cable? Thanks a lot. Best, Peter

Maybe in the future! RCA is not a type of cable I typically use. I only use XLR, TRS and TS cables at the moment

Great video and solid tutorial. To me, it still seems like a good amount of work to get the cables for half price or so. I do think it would be worth it to build your own, if not for the lifetime warranty when you pay retail. That kind of justifies the price premium to me; knowing it's the last instance of this cable I'll ever buy. But if looking to save some money in the short term, this is a great option.

Definitely easier to buy premade if it’s 1-2 cables but you need need 15-20 cables, the cost adds up! The difference could be $2,000 vs $400 and 1 day of soldering

It *might* be hard to justify over buying World's Best Cables that use Mogami cable and the same ends for 10-15 dollars more or whatever they go for. I don't yet own any quality cables, but planning to upgrade soon. I'd have to buy all the soldering equipment and cable cutters, so WBC would probably be more cost effective for me -- though I don't yet know if there are any tradeoffs/caveats with WBC.

What is maximum length for trs to xlr cable for no signal change? Thanks

@Semyon_Music

You could easily go up to 30 feet or longer with no signal loss with these cables

Hi, i got the cable you mentioned. The cable has writing on it that says "NEGLEX 2534 MICROPHONE CABLE", is this going to cause any problems using it at line levels instead of mic levels? Can i use it in a guitar rig?

@Semyon_Music

Should be completely fine for line level. If you plan on using it as a guitar cable, mogami makes other makes suitable for specifically

I'm curious as to why you're using four core cable instead of dual core cable.

@Semyon_Music

It’s prevents unwanted radio interference from getting into the audio path during longer cable runs

Where are you buying the wires and connectors from? Are you buying them in bulk? I have some TRS snakes that are a little short for my new setup and thinking of doing this, but, the materials are more expensive than I expected. For the gold TRS connectors, I'm not finding anywhere to buy them in bulk and they start at ~$9.50 CAD each.

Also, I'm looking to make a variety of cables within 4.5ft-6ft in length. Have you made cables around this length before? I'm wondering if going for the W2534 Neglex Quad is a little overkill for my use case.

I use mogami cable at work and it sounds like my sound level drop down compared to whirlwind. The mogami has lower level out compared to whirlwind so I need to crank up gain when using it. I don't know if thats the reason it is a silent cable.

Check if the cable is the correct type! That could be the issue

is the length the same? Alternatively, it can be a thicker conductor in the whirlwind and less intrinsic loss.

I make about 5ft length cable. I haven't check the cable of whirlwind but the mogami is little bit less flexible and has thick size copper too. I have the balanced and mono cables. I tried to use balance cable for instrument cables but still the same issue.
