In the above post - the images didn't show up and I was unclear because I didn't preview it befor ehitting submit - sorry about that. Please read the revised post below:

The XDR 959 system with the XDT4 transmitter and XDR2 receiver. The cable connecting the guitar to the transmitter is not working well, and I am handy enough with solder to make my own - I've purchased lengths of good quality instrument cable before to make my own with no problem. However, this little bugger presents the following challenge, and I'd rather ask a question than make a stupid mistake.

The original cable that connects the guitar to the transmitter has a stereo connector on the 1/8" end of it, and the owners manual says the following:

On the 1/8" transmitter end, there is a positive tip for mics, a positive ring for instruments, and a negative sleeve for ground.

On the 1/4" guitar end, there is only a postive tip for instrument and a negative sleeve ground.

Question #1: I have a 1/8" mono connector that I would like to use to replace one end of a 1/4" patch cable I already own. Looking at the attached XDR2 output.jpg, I am inclined to think this will work. I think the ring connector closes the loop when a mono plug is inserted. My plan is to wire the negative to the sleeve and positive to the tip - any reason this would not work?

Question #2: Assuming #1 wouldn't work for some reason, and I purchase a stereo 1/8" connector, should I put the ground from the 1/4" end to both the ring and sleeve connector, and only send the positive to the tip?

If someone has a wiring diagram of that cable, that would answer my second question, I'd just prefer to use the connector I already have.

Thanks!
