    Hi there, recently, the left speaker of my set of D1080MKII's crapped out. I am pretty sure it is the wire, but I have nooo idea what wire these things use to connect the right monitor to the left monitor! It looks kind of like a female 4 pin xlr to female 4 pin xlr cable, but I'm not sure...

    Advice on a headset, ears ringing
