This tool illustrates common, industry-conventional wiring for signal-level audio cables. Always verify against your specific equipment's documentation before cutting or soldering a cable — this is especially important for connectors without an industry-wide standard (LEMO, wireless beltpacks) and for safety-relevant aviation headset wiring.

Built by Richard Hubbard, who does location sound recording in Perth — these are the connectors on the audio kit these cables run between. For a LEMO in particular, see the 3-pin LEMO soldering guide.
