mini-DIN connector is nearly always on a suspended
part of the turntable, and care must be taken to
provide a flexible section of the custom phono cable
so that the turntable’s suspension can have free
motion.
It is usually easier to create the required flexibility
by using a single cable with four conductors plus a
shield, instead of using a separate cable for each
channel. Below is the schematic diagram for a
suitable custom phono cable in this application,
with the DIN connector shown from the rear
(solder) side:
Remember that a section of the cable’s outer jacket
must be removed from each end of the custom cable.
This provides a flexible section at the tonearm end,
and allows the XLR connectors to be physically
separated at the phono preamplifier end.
