Hi, Charlie.

Casting my mind back to my audio technician life, most stereo headphones
use black, red, and white as the three conductors. Black is ground, red
is right channel, and white is left channel.

In real life, however, electrons really don't care what color the
insulation around the conductor is.

I'd vote for red=right, yellow=left, and blue=ground which is pretty
close...

Listers,
I am preparing to wire up my FlightCom 403d intercom. This is a stereo unit which requires 3 leads to both the headphone jacks and microphone jacks. I am using 22500 22AWG shielded wire for these connections. I have wire with two different color codes. One style of wire contains red/blue/yellow leads. The other style uses white/white with blue/white with orange color coded leads.
I was wondering if there is an accepted color code convention for wiring these jacks? I had planned to use one color style to wire the microphone jacks and the other color style to wire the headphone jacks. I feel that this will aid in avoiding confusion for future troubleshooting.
