slicyr Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 I finally decided to make fresh 16-gauge wires for my promedias but I bought soderless plugs because I heard they were less fuss. Just one question on the mono plug which side is pos and neg, the tip or the base? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 the tip is the positive and the shell is the negative...that's pretty much standard in any plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicyr Posted March 8, 2001 Author Share Posted March 8, 2001 I figured it was, but I have heard that it has been more and more common to find it is the other way around like how in some of sony's discmans the polarity is reversed. I just don't want to hurt my precious promedias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktech Posted March 11, 2001 Share Posted March 11, 2001 no offense cyclone, but is that for sure? I too don't want to hurt my Pros. ~thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicyr Posted March 11, 2001 Author Share Posted March 11, 2001 Someone told me to try both ways with a low volume and listen for the one with more bass and that would be correct. Maybe someone who has already made their own wires can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 Why would try and make your own if you don't have a VOM? What ya gonna' do, make cables and not check for shorts? I'll give ya' $20 for the remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktech Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 Thanks slicyr and cyclone! I finished soldering and settin up. Everything is working just FINE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jealousy Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 can someone please verify what the correct polarity setup is for the promedias? i tried connecting them both ways, and can't tell the difference. don't want to damage the speakers. maybe someone from tech support could answer this? is the tip connected to the red cable on the promedia wires? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
