How to DIY your Shielded RCA Interconnect Cables

How to DIY Your Shielded RCA Interconnect Cables


This article is a guide to build your own simple high quality RCA interconnect cables for your Hi-Fi audio system. These "better DIY RCA interconnects" are unbalanced and made using shielded instrument cable and high quality RCA plugs. This is a fairly easy DIY cable and one stereo pair of DIY interconnects can be put together in about one hour. You will not need any fancy materials or special tools to build this cable. Just some meters of good shielded instrument cable and high quality RCA connectors, a soldering iron and some good solder with flux, a handy knife and a good side-cutter to prepare the wires for the soldering process. The photos only is as an example to demo how to DIY shielded RCA Interconnect Cables.


Material Prepared 

1.    High quality cable according to your requirements, and define its length, like as Canare Professional Broadcast Audio-cable.

Example of HIFI Cable

Constructions of Cable


2.    High quality RCA connectors which are black in color and with red and white indicator rings, and with gold-plated contacts and rubber end-boots to firmly hold the wire in place, like as Budweiser RCA connectors by U.S.

Example of HIFI RCA Connetor


Constructions of HIFI RCA Connector


Construction Steps

1. Strip outer of cable Insulator

  Strip Inner Insulator



2. Strip wires of cable inside

3. RCA Connector Plug Assembly Instructions
It is very important to slide the plug housing over the cable before you start to solder the wire to the connectors !!

4. Prepared Shielded Wire


5.  Soldering the wire to the RCA connectors with the fixture if need


6.Assembled RCA Interconnect Cable



Enjoy your cable! You will get more improvents of your HIFI system after to use this HIFI RCA cable.


We also sell this HIFI RCA Cable with Canare Professional Broadcast Audio cable and Budweiser RCA connectors by U.S., and it is made by manual also.This cable is high quality and cost effective. If you are interested in it, please take a look as the link below.


Its features as below

1. Used Budweiser RCA connectors by U.S, which is made of copper-plated plug, copper shell, and advantages of copper shell can be shielded from external interference.
2. Used Japanese origin Canare professional broadcast audio cable, and commercial grade products don’t achieve its performance, more than 94% of the copper network density to ensure effective shielding of electromagnetic noise. 40 each of the wires from the particular fine 0.08mm copper wire twisted together, particularly good durability. This is Canare send technical application structure model of work, it is a good choice for a lot of HIFI audiophiles to change the cables, its analytical abundantly clear, very good reputation, reliability and durability than ordinary wire several times stronger than the above, cheap affordable, high cost.
3. Used genuine Akihabara 99.99% high purity oxygen-free copper audio signal lines, each line adds four core nerves, its main role restore audio fidelity sound field, so the lossless transmission of audio signals have sufficient safeguards . General transmission line signals of different frequencies have different impedances, this feature on the sound reduction performance of sound vague, production people do this out of the high-end speaker cables called intelligent signal line characteristics of this line the signal level of the frequency is divided into two channels, 5KHZ more signals transmitted by a special material nerves, 5KHZ outer following signals through the transmission line, which greatly improves the frequency characteristics of the transmission line, the reproduction of clear and transparent sound.
4. Use containing 3% silver Senju solders soldering.
5. External plus a network of high-density shock as protection.
6.  It is made by manual.
