Watch out for when you remove the left and right rubber coverings since this cable is shielded you don't want to cut all the way through the shield. The 2 wires behind the shield are your +/- for each side. The red side is left + and green is right +. The other wires are the return wires. You can wire up the shield to pin 1 in the XLR connector so it works as an active shield as long as your amp is setup for it. You may be able to remove the thin insulation off of the wires either by a lighter or a very hot soldering iron, but this isn't ideal since it melts and burns which will leave a residue on the wires. The insulation is thin enough to where if you score it on one or two sides you should just be able to peal it off with enough force. The main thing you need to work out if how to make sure you won't pull the cable out of the XLR connector since the wires will not be of much help holding it in place. The process is not hard or very especially if you have the proper tools. Just be careful and don't rush it. If you mess up you will have to simply cut further back on the cable. I’ve been really impressed with apuresounds responsiveness for the help I needed, considering there was nothing in it for them as a company. Goes to show you there are still companies around that have great work ethics. So impressed am I that I’m in the process of ordering one of there V3 cables for the HD800, once the connectors are available should be around 2nd July
