Really? Yamaha doesn't seem to test with
those then. I soldered TRS to
two TS connectors to be able to record my e-piano through its headphone
out. The TRS just doesn't fit, it seems to be too small, I can't get a
proper connection. The TRS of my old AKG headphones seems to fit
perfectly.
Are you shure you have a standard TRS then ? I've got some Neutriks
here, dimensions are perfectly OK. But I prefer Amphenols.
There is a TRS-like connector sometimes called a 'GPO jack', the
one used in manual telephone exchanges and in pro audio before
bantams became the norm. It has a smaller diameter tip and the
position of the ring is different as well. Don't know if Neutrik
makes them, they are kind of rare these days.
Yes, I'm rather sure it's the right connector. It's apparently called
Neutrik NP3RCS (a picture can be seen here:

But I just played with it again for the first time in years and figured
out it was my fault all along. When I plugged in the headphones I felt a
snap eventually. When I plugged in my cable I didn't feel that, instead
I noticed that I could move it in and out a fair bit. Well, turns out I
simply never had plugged it in all the way...
All this time I thought it doesn't fit and is thus totally broken, but
while it's probably not a great cable (one of the first things I
soldered) it works well enough.
Sorry for the fuss, thanks for making me try the cable again. Over are
the days when I had to use soundfonts for recording :)
