Fatal1ty Headphones Cable Wiring: Which Color Wires to Connect for Mic and Audio?

Hello.

Recently, the cable from the Fatal1ty headphones broke (where the microphone connects to the microphone and headphone jacks) The whole problem is that I do not know how to connect the cables so that they work, I suspect that I know how to connect (by the colors ), but one cable does not have its color counterpart, so to speak, I mean that the last cables have 2 different colors, and I prefer to ask if they match: p.

I mainly mean whether cable 4 should be connected to cable A (the rest of the cables, I rather know how to connect)

I know it's a bit of a silly question, but I'm an amateur who doesn't know much about the subject (I know there were other topics on this subject, but to be honest I didn't understand any of them very much .

Hello.
Do you have an ohmmeter?
Andrew

Unfortunately, I do not have it.

Pity. Connect 4a and E (the ones in the middle) and 4 and D (the screens). Check that the microphone is working.
We'll do the rest later.
Andrew

I haven't connected it yet, but I managed to get an ohmmeter.

Cool. Put the headphones on your ears (according to the left / right markings) and measure the resistance between A, B, C, D in all possible combinations, i.e .:
AB
AC
AD
BC
BD
CD.
Write what measurement results. During measurements, pay attention to the tapping on the headphones, which will appear when connecting and disconnecting the test prods.
Record what connections left, right, and both knock for, and for which no knocking occurs.
This data will determine how the headphones are connected inside.
Then we will go further.
Andrew

BC- 0.09 clicks were in both
BA- 0.05 clicks on the right
CA- 0.05 clicks in left
So far I am able to provide so much information. The next ones will be later .

From your "measurements" shows that:
A - common (ground)
B - right channel
C - left channel
You did not write what the ohmmeter showed in combinations with the D conductor. I expected that there would be no transition from D to the others, but you did not confirm. If the ohmmeter showed you ? or 1 (exceeding the range), you could also write it. From the results you have given, it can be concluded that you either have a poorly efficient ohmmeter or a little experience in using it. The results of 0.05 and 0.09 may indicate a wrong selection of the meter range during the measurements. There is also no unit.
If you want me to help you with this ohmmeter, give me a picture of it.
Nevertheless, the headphone connections are already explored, and after taking the connection measurements in the headphone plug, you will be able to start connecting.
How about the microphone connection? You tried?
Andrew

In general, I have a DT-832 multimeter and it looks like this:



And you're right that I can't handle it that much, and I haven't had fun connecting the microphone yet, maybe tomorrow when I have time.

OKAY.
There is no great philosophy with the meter. The cables are connected to the two lower sockets (i.e. one to the COM socket, the other to the V?mA socket).
In the photo, you have the selected range of 750 ACV (i.e. you can measure a maximum of 750V AC).
To measure the headphone resistance, you must select the 200? range (the knob should indicate this value).
If you now connect the test leads to the headphone leads, the tester will show the resistance of the headphones. The value read from the display will be expressed in ? and when you write what the measurement result is, you should use this symbol, e.g. 16 ?.
The 200? range allows you to measure 0-200? resistances. If the display shows 1 in the first position, then either the test pins are disconnected or, if they are connected, it means that the resistance between the pins is greater than the measuring range (in this case 200? and then you need to increase the range by selecting e.g. 2000?.
If, in spite of selecting the highest range, you still have 1 in front of the display, you can assume that the resistance is close to ? (there is no transition) and this is also the value you can write about if you do not want it.
If something unclear, please write.
Andrew

hello, I have a similar problem, the cables have the same colors



when I connect 4a and E (i.e. those in the middle) and 4 and D (screens) - the microphone does not work

4 and C 1 and B 2 and D - the headphones are working

how to make a microphone, I don't have an ohmmeter

Your predecessor's measurements show that in the photo:

- green (A) common headphones - ground,
- red (B) right channel receiver,
- blue (C) left channel receiver,
- golden (D) mass of the microphone,
- white (E) microphone signal + power supply for the microphone.
As this colleague did not finish the topics, we do not have full confirmation that this is the case.
You have the same colors and it looks like it could be the same. Maybe the masses of the headphones and the microphone are swapped. It is difficult to tell without an ohmmeter. In the case of the predecessor, the microphone cable was clearly shielded (the cable in white insulation is wrapped with gold wires). For you it is intertwined and it does not look so unambiguous.
Andrew

just how to connect it to make it work?

as I wrote

4a and E and 4 and D - the microphone is not working

4 and C 1 and B 2 and D - the headphones are working

Only solder these wires because they have insulation on them if you just twist them with opal e lighter

But are you sure your headphones are working properly?
This correctly means that after inserting the headphone plug (only this plug), both headphones play and you have the left channel in the left headphone, and the right channel in the right one.
With an incorrect connection, the headphones can also play, but for example both from one channel (because they are connected in series).
There may also be a situation where they take the ground from the microphone plug.
An ohmmeter would be very helpful to define this unequivocally. If you don't have one, try to borrow at least. It can be any (analog, digital). Such in the meter as above in the picture is also very good. Some people laugh that such a meter for PLN 15 is useless, but it's better to have one than to guess.
I myself have (apart from other better ones) four such cheap ones. In the car, in the garage, in hand tools and in a drawer at home. You do not have to run for the meter then because it is always at hand.
What a colleague wrote above about isolation is very important. The wires are enameled and will not conductive when touched to the side surface. You have to touch it at the breaking point (from the forehead) and it is best to solder it. The soldering temperature is sufficient for the enamel to come off the wires at the soldering point.

Hello

I have a similar problem, with this my headphones (also fatality), broke in the place where the cable "grows" into two cables that go to the computer, to the microphone and to the headphones. Can it be fixed somehow manually at home?

Kisses, quaestor.

You need a soldering iron, tin and something to insulate the joints.
Andrew

Hello, I have a similar problem, gentlemen, help me how to solder it, I have 3 cables and I want to hug them directly to the socket, but I don't know which cable to which place?

The socket is soldered in 3 places.

My friend jrd check what is the resistance between the individual pins of this wire.
At first glance, the socket is:
1-> left channel.
2-> mass.
3-> right channel.

Thank you very much Kizek !!!!
if someone also had a problem once, how did I connect it, it works like this:
1-green
2-gold
3-red

Hello!
I warn you in advance that I do not have an ohmmeter. I attach a picture. Will you help connect the cables together? I know that E should connect to G, and F to H. I don't know where to solder the other cables. The part is connected, so maybe you can do without an ohmmeter :)



Added after 1 [hours] 15 [minutes]:

Sweeped I enclose a photo of the connected cables. Both the headphones, the microphone and the button are working :)
