I posted this on Klipsch's forum but never got a reply after 2 months (their forum is dead.)

I don't know where to post this so I posted it here.

I found the replacement cable end for my Promedia 5.1.

I am repairing my Klipsch Promedia Din Plug that goes into the the sub. I have a replacement din plug and need help about the wiring.



According to this diagram where is my "black wire." I have all of the other colors but I do not have a black wire.

Three wires are wrapped in a tin-foil material. One of them being a bare no plastic wire. The "yellow" and "black/yellow" wires are along with the bare wire inside of tin tin-foil wrap.

Outside of this tin-foil three wire wrap are the other colors plus anther bare wire. Am I suppose to solder one of these bare wires to the shield? And the other being the "black" wire (even though it is not colored black?)


Some guidance would be nice. Thanks.

Please help I need these fixed!

Hi gui4life and welcome to HA.


It belongs is Audio Hardware not General Audio and has been moved.

Here's the description for Audio Hardware:
Discussion of Audio Hardware, Soundcards, Hi-Fi equipment, stand-alone CD players, portable MP3 players, headphones etc.

To you and others, please post to the correct forum. In most cases (such as this one) the forum descriptions are plenty adequate in determining which one to use.

I do hope someone can help you with your problem.

That should be the ground, solder it to the pin 7.
Based on your description, the cable does not have a wire mash around the other wires which usually goes to the shield of the DIN.
I would leave the other bare wire and test the cable this way. You can't do any harm.
If it's not working, I'd try the other bare wire instead.

Cheers!
