Custom Cables and Modifications
What Custom Audio Cables Do You Make?
Moon Audio hand crafts custom audio cables for most applications. Moon Audio creates, designs, manufactures and customizes headphone cables, analog interconnects, digital interconnects, mini cables, power cables, speaker cables and more.
What is the Warranty Period for Dragon Cables?
Dragon Audio Cables are covered under a one-year limited warranty. For complete information, visit our Dragon Cables Limited Warranty page.
What Headphone Modification Can You Perform?
Moon Audio can hack most headphones. We typically perform one of three types of custom headphone modifications:
- Standard (Hardwired)
Standard modifications replace the stock cable by soldering a new Dragon Cable upgrade directly to the headphone drivers.
- Detachable
A detachable modification replaces the stock cable with a Sennheiser HD800 connection and a detachable Dragon Cable. This gives you the added benefit of swapping out cables as you update your system or tune your sound signature.
- Split Mod
Split modifications convert a single-entry headphone into a dual-entry headphone. Our engineers remove the stock cable, add an entry into the second ear cup, and solder the upgrade cable to the drivers. We can also make this a Detachable Split Mod.
In some cases the design of the headphone prevents certain modifications from being possible. If you have any questions about specific headphones, feel free to let us know.
Will My Headphones Keep Their Original Manufacturers Warranty If You Modify Them?
Yes, in most cases and with most manufacturer's, the original manufacturer's warranty remains fully intact with any repair, modification and upgrade cables Moon Audio adds, removes, or changes. Moon Audio is an authorized repair shop for many manufacturers as well. All work performed on Beyerdynamic, Fostex, Grado, Sennheiser, Ultrasone headphones performed by Moon Audio is done via Moon Audio and keeps their full warranty intact. Please check with your manufacturer directly if you have specific questions.
