Putting a new end on a XLR cable

@mushniksflorist 

If one of the hot wires is broken the sound will get softer. If the ground wire is broken, there will be no sound. Connection one is bad. I’m assuming it’s the connection. I’ve never had a wire break mid cable, but I’m sure it happens.

No screw that I can see and other than the collet with their logo, there doesn’t seem to be anything that comes off.

Try unscrewing the ends. Doesn’t make sense to make something that can’t be serviced. Press any buttons present (XLRs usually have a release button). Don’t go nuts but use reasonable force. Good luck

P.S. You may have to sacrifice any heat shrink present. I'm seeing lots of Tara XLRs on Bing images and most have a rubber washer/O-ring that indicates screw together. What color are your ICs?

@dweller 

You’re right about the O ring on the female side, there isn’t one on the male side. The O ring is between the lock pieces. I tried to unscrew the female side with a pliers and cloth and so far nothing has moved.

@dweller

I forgot to mention, the collets are blue and say RSC air1 and Series 2 under in a different font. They are the only thing that unscrews, so far. The rest of the cable is a black/silver weave and the ends are black with Tara Labs in white on both ends.
