This means the bare copper wire is ground. Connecting the bare copper and red together makes the left earcup pop. Using a multimeter set to 200ohms, I found that by wearing the headset and connecting the bare copper to blue makes a popping sound in the right earcup of the headset. The cable itself has 4 conductor wires: bare copper, blue, red, and white with a copper sleeve around it. It should solve your problem.For my logitech mic headset, the TRRS scheme seems to be Tip - connects to the bottom lowest contact pin of the connector, Ring 1 - connects to the second lowest contact pin, Ring 2 - third contact from the bottom, Sleeve - highest contact on the top. If your system sounds weird, and your receiver is telling you that your speaker is wired out of phase, then flip the wires either at the receiver or the speaker (not both). Rarely we have come across speakers that have had the wiring inside the speaker flipped. If you’ve bought pre-terminated wires, you may find that they were terminated incorrectly. One thing to note is that it isn’t necessarily your fault if your receiver says your speakers are wired out of phase. It’ll even let you know what speaker is the problem. It should let you know that it has happened and you can switch your red and black speaker wires. If you’ve done it with your surround speakers, it may be harder to detect but the effect will be the same.įortunately, most room setup and correction programs will detect if your speakers are wired out of the phase. Like the sounds are all coming from one side of the room. Yes, your center channel (if you are running a surround sound system) will still work, but the music and any sounds that are played out of your front left and right speakers will sound wrong. If you’ve done it on your front speakers, you’ll lose the center image. Wiring one speaker out of phase, which is what happens if you switch the red and black wires, sounds very odd. I dare you! How To Know If You’ve Switched Your Red and Black Speaker Wires This can in no way damage your speaker or receiver. When the rest of the speakers in your system are creating the same sound, their drivers will be going in a completely different direction (exactly opposite). If you switch the red and black speaker wires, all that happens is that the drivers push out instead of pulling in (and vice versa). This affects what frequencies are reproduced and the volume. The electrical current tells the speaker when and how far to push the drivers out and in. All you’ve done is reverse the phase of that speaker. In fact, the speaker really doesn’t care. Will you hurt your speaker? In a word – no. The real question you have is what happens if you connect the red connector on the receiver to the black connector on the speaker (and vice versa). The wire color is simply the PVC jacket that covers the copper wire within. The colors are simply there to make sure you connect the red connector on the receiver to the red connector on the speaker. Before we go on it is important to say that the electricity doesn’t care what color wire it goes through. There are usually (not always, but usually) black and red speaker wires and connections. Speaker wires AND a power cord? What am I, a scientist?!? Speaker Wire and Phase
