Use the dropdowns above to select the desired length and source side Termination for this cable. Use the open text field to specify up to 4 custom colors for the cable.
CUSTOM COLORS
You can choose up to four sleevings for this cable. Be sure to denote Left and Right if applicable. Use this link to browse our catalog of available custom colors / patterns. Please keep in mind that the cable lengths are continuous, so whatever colors you spec in the "left" and "right" sections will also be present in the "main" section of the cable.
If you're having trouble deciding on what colors you may want for your cable, take a look at our custom gallery or our instagram for some inspo.
MAKE IT MODULAR?
Our thick braided cable assembly is too large for the mini-xlr connectors we use to make our normal modular system happen. But a modular set up for yourself can still be had!
Choose "[M] 4-pin XLR" for the termination option in the dropdown above, and pair this cable up with one of our thick braided "Multi-kit 4" sets at this listing. This provides a modular set up based around full size XLRs which have no problem with the thick braided assembly.

Compatibility Notes
As long as this cable fits, it will work with Sony and Beyerdynamic's headphone models. If you'd like to use lower profile connectors to avoid any potential fitment issues, be sure to use our "HC-9-TR" listing here to make sure you get a cable wired for Sony and Beyerdynamic's (Monolith's M1070 as well) wiring convention.
For "reversible" headphone models such as the Audeze LCD-1, Rosson Rad-0 or Phillips Fidelio X3, use our "HC-9-REV" listing here.
Lead Time
Please keep in mind that this cable is built through our in house custom shop, which has a longer lead time compared to our stock modular cables. Custom orders generally take 1-2 weeks to ship.
