I need to splice a couple cables to basically make a cable with a male XLR end and a quarter-inch end. Anyone know how to do so....can't really find anything on Google. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    first can i ask what you are trying to achieve? what's the purposes of the cable, to connect what into what?

    You can easily buy a cable like that almost anywhere.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.

    I just need a cable to connect a digital piano (via quarter inch jack output) to an analog synth...via the vocoder input (xlr).

    Sure....for $25-$40 for a halfway decent one....but for someone who has a bunch of extra cables lying around that wants to know how to splice them together to save himself some dough....how does one do it. I've got the time, I've got the tools (soldering gun, etc.).....I just don't know how to splice two specific cables together.
    Again, I know I can buy one....but I take pride in my thriftiness.
