To all you Cordial lovers

I'm not sure if that's what you mean but there is this small plastic thing (in the middle in the pic). This is used to clamp the cable.

At first you put the part on the upper left over the cable, than solder it to plug (right), put the plastic thing (middle) on the cable to fit over the part were you soldered. The put the housing (bottom) on and tighten the srew you put on the cable in first place.

Thank you very much as I was going to ask that too - but I was talking in regards to the part on the right - when you push the plug all the way into whatever, the part that touches whatever you're plugging it into = springy... I'll take a pic...
 
The silver metal part between the actual gold plug and the red cover, it goes in the cover when you push it but acts like a spring and pushes it's way out of the guitar at a remote shock standing up :confused: one end is like this and the other lacks such a 'springy thing' so I've put this end in the amp instead now :confused:

Ah, no I think I got it. Did you buy Silent Plug cables? This spring thing mutes the cables as soon as you pull it out of the plug.

Haha to spam and yes upon Peter S' suggestion. Hmmmmm, damn, had no idea of this/shant be using such a feature...
 
Bump. What do you do for speaker cables? - There are 2 sections within the speaker cable as opposed to one in the normal cables...
 
I guess you mean there are 2 equal wires inside the cable, right? That is how a power cable should be like. A guitar cable has a small wire in the middle and shielding around. A power cable needs 2 equally thick wires and no shielding.

The description is in German, I'm sorry for that but I think you can get the point from the picture. Speaker cable is the upper and guitar cable the lower:

So you just solder both those parts on the speaker cable to the same destination?

Finally (I think), presumably you solder to the top gold point, but what do you do with the other one?
 
NO DO NOT SOLDER BOTH TO THE SAME DESTINATION, that is not a good idea at all. You need to solder one to the tip connector which should be the golden spot in the middle and the other to the ring connector which should be the one further down in direction of the cable. Make sure that you solder both jacks the same way.
 
You can see it in your photo: there's another metal connector, the one with the hole in it.
If you have, let's say, a red and a blue wire, solder the red one to the golden connector (which goes to the tip) and the blue one to the other one, connecting it with the sleeve. That's what jaymz meant by soldering both jacks the same way.
On some older Neutrik jacks, there is no second soldering point. In this case, solder the wire directly to the metal housing. Which sucks. The newer Neutrik plugs all have that second connector, though.

Check this link: http://www.sommercable.com/1__support/index.html

Scroll down to "Montageanleitungen". The second one is for the angled Neutrik plugs, in this case for the symmetrical/stereo one. But you can clearly see here that each wire goes to a dedicated soldering point. Wires must not touch each other! They even tell you how many inches of the isolation should be removed from the wires. Really great. It's a reference for soldering microphone cable, but just imagine having two thicker wires instead of two thin ones and a shield.
 
Thanks Jakob for helping me out. You pointed it all out very well :yes:
 
:scared: Looks scary, thanks tons for all the info! :thumbsup: Shall attempt it soon...
