I lent these to a buddy of mine so he could use them for mixdown, and his room mate borrowed them to listen to music - then wasn't paying attention and walked too far from the stereo and broke the jack at the end of the cable.
I got a new, gold plated stress relieved 1/8" stereo jack from Radio Shack that I want to solder onto the end, but I don't know where to solder them. There's a red, white, and yellow wire. I could probably just order another wire - it's detachable from the headset - but I'd rather not, considering I'm all of five minutes away from having a useable set of headphones again.
You're right on the code, with the exception of the right and left. I'm an AKG dealer and spoke to their service department. Here goes:
White=Ground
Yellow=Left
Red=Right
To confirm this, I used a multimeter in continuity mode and tested them. This code is 100% correct.
Pertaining to a AKG K 240 studio headphone, this information is incorrect. It reverses the stereo field. You're a dealer?

WHITE is GROUND (back sleeve on pin plug;
RED is LEFT (mid sleeve on pin plug;
YELLOW is RIGHT (pin plug tip).
This key applies ONLKY to AKG K240 head phones!

I just went thru this; Tip = yellow wire for right ear; Ring = red wire for left ear; Sleeve = white wire for common/ground. Unfortunately, I had to rewire due to previous incorrect information.
