ahhhh. silly me.

G50 transmitter cable wiring: Line 6 dual-ground OR Shure style single-ground?

support@line6.com — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 20:01:04 GMT

So I was putting a right-angle cable on my TBP12 transmitter cable for my g50 wireless system, and I saw that it had two cables grounded on the sleeve of the old straight 1/4" (the ground wire and a blue wire).

After looking online here, I found Line 6 saying to ONLY solder one ground, and that the second ground lowers the impedance too much. Shure does it with single grounds too.

Why did the cables ship from the factory with this lower ground, and how is the sound altered by this? Which is preferable in the g50 and why?

(And should I clip the second ground?)

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Bump! I'd like to know if we should clip the cable on 4 too!

I just soldered a right-angle plug onto one of the supplied cables, and noticed that there was a ground cable AND a blue cable soldered to the sleeve, with the white cable conneceted to the tip.

Should I have changed it (disconnected the blue)? What's the consensus here?

Has anyone resolved this issue at Line 6 by offering a metal jack replacement? Even selling a jack assembly seems worthwhile, since line 6 repair service can take a while.
