Wiring Headphones for K3

dhhdeh
Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of wiring a stereo jack onto old faithful monoral
headphones for use on the K3. (The phones are not reversible when worn).

When the sub receiver arrives, I want the main receiver in the left
channel and the sub receiver in the right channel.

For K3 use with a stereo plug, is the left channel on the jack tip or
the jack sleeve?

I could not find any information in the owners or assembly manuals on
this. It may be in there but I cold not find it.

Please no speculation as I need to know for certain so I don't have to
do this over again.

Reply on or off the reflector.

Thanks in advance.

Dave,

I am not certain if you received a response or not - I did not see one
on the reflector.
Convention has the left channel on the tip and right on the ring - the
sleeve is ground.
You can always wire in a DPDT switch to swap if you want to do that - As
I recall, one of the Heil headsets has a reversing switch.
