Could be dirt and/or oxidation that prevents the solder from sticking. Scrape or sand the area until you can see some clean shiny metallic surface. Then put a bit solder flux. Now the solder should stick....

Then those inputs are mono actually (as with all microphone inputs). You could tap directly at the pre-amp output stage but require some modifications to the board inside your "amplifier" unit...

Nopes, balanced and unbalanced are different types of inputs. That new mixer has both L and R inputs, but each individual connector is required per channel. If you are not familiar with balanced inputs then use unbalanced inputs. Actually can still use balanced also, with the return signal (or inverting input) set to ground. Check the new mixer manual on the connectors required to use those inputs...

Very much depends on the type of output from the device. If its headphone amplifier output then can be disastrous (ie. risk damaging and/or blowing up the headphone amplifier circuit). To be on the safe side, use two 10KOhm resistors per channel (in series) before summing/joining both channels as a single mono audio channel.

Can try Pasar Road, as well as any online stores such as RS Components, Farnell/Newark/element14 or Mouser. As for replacement cable, can try more2teayap...

Pasar Road (or Jalan Pasar) should be easy to find, just right down the road from Berjaya Times Square. If lost then ask for directions.


Can use a simple resistor network, or just a potentiometer to adjust the line level outputs...

You can also use the stereo version, and ignore one of the connections. Again, can try Pasar Road, as well as any online stores such as RS Components, Farnell/Newark/element14 or Mouser...

Can try me also if interested, but not sure if my workmanship is up to par....

Should be easy to find (as already provided the map in an earlier reply above)...

Your location is Kuantan, right (from your profile)? I do have a friend who has a friend that repairs electronic equipment, although I'm not sure if he does IEM repairs and/or provide recabling services. Just PM me for more information...

My Philips headphone cables also suffered the same fate, the cable rubber sleeve disintegrating. Bought a spool of cable (of correct size/diameter industrial quality Alpha Wire, should last very very long time) but currently no time to re-cable mine yet...

The cable I have is about 4.1mm in diameter across (which is roughly the size of my headphone cable), and may not look pretty (grey in color, thus I bought braided sleeve also) plus not as soft like the original (rigid PVC and 24AWG per wire). Not much mentioned about the cable size in that webpage. What was the diameter of the original cable (with the rubber sleeve)? You may have to measure it yourself...

At first I though it was the usual rubber degradation issue (seen plenty of them). As for the replacement, cable diameter information (as mentioned above) is required...

Any specifications/requirements, especially outer/external diameter and conductor size (in AWG)? Also what is the cable purpose and/or application? For your information, you could try looking/searching here: RS Components > Cables & Wires > Wire & Single Core Cable, or element14 > Cable, Wire & Assemblies > Wire - Single Conductor...

Can't get (exotic) brands like Canare and Mogami at those sites. The only notable (known audiophile) brands found there are Van Damme, Belden and Gotham...

Seems that Mouser and Digikey also do not have those (exotic) brands. Obviously one place you could try looking at is eBay. Alternatively can try using this cable: BELDEN - 83002 010100 - HOOK-UP WIRE, 100FT, 26AWG, CU, BLACK which has silver plated copper conductor core...

Some pictures of the original cable may help. Also what is the size (cross-section) of that XLR connector? For your information there are two sizes of XLR connectors, one is the standard XLR and the other is the mini XLR...

Those are inputs. Depends on which input you want to use. Most common on would be the normal RCA (unbalanced) input from most audio equipment. If your audio equipment have XLR output then simply use the XLR input. There are a few shops that caters/specialises audio equipment interconnects in Jalan Pasar (though make sure you bring sufficient funds). Since this is the KRK Rokit 5, then make sure both sides have the same volume (balance) since there are no master volume (as each speaker is independant)...
