I believe you pair up 2 each of the twisted pairs and solder them to the "appropriate pins" 1 and 2 and the ground goes to pin 3.

As long as you consistantly pair the same leads to the same pins I dont think it matters.
Isnt there 2 pair allready self twisted in the cable? It has been a long time since I messed with any.

Great!
I am STILL building and painting, and building and painting.... the studio.
I have FINALLY got the control windows in and trimmed (dang it if I did'nt miss some crap on the inside of the windows) and the doors and thresholds in, but not painted yet.
After all this starts the building of the acoustic panels.

Wish me luck, I have about 50 to build!

Ground goes to pin 1.
