Sooo I wanted to make my own balanced cable and adapter and these were my quick/dirty notes and steps for those who want to tackle a fun little project. Yes my mspaint skills are on point and yes for a simple person this worked great. Tools/items I used:
Scissors to cut 52 inches (4+ feet) of the cable out
Lighter (to tidy up the fraying cable when it was cut)
Multimeter (to ensure I had continuity where wanted)
Soldering iron (and solder) for the sex appeal
Razor blade (not for self harm but rather the wires)

Time. Measuring everything twice and understanding what was needed. Tinned the wire tips and connector terminals and then simply reheated the solder shoving the wire in the hole and bada bing bada boom. I did purchase the two packs of connectors in case I effed it up but alas my first attempt was successful. Quick little tip, the blue/brown and pink/brown pairs should be kind of twisted together if not right next to one another, a good starting point but still check with a multimeter that they go where they should.

rottentreatsSeriously? You needed to post this comment a third time? They are cables which contrary to your belief aren't a BFD. You clearly aren't a rocket scientist.
