Sunray Pro Gold headphones modded for CTX 3030

Charles (Upstate NY)

Well-known member
I heard about the external speaker snafu with aftermarket headphones so I modded a pair of my Sunray's today. I removed both toggle switches which were not only useless to me but I'm forever switching them in storms with my hood on which was annoying so good riddance. I kept the volume adjustment controls.

Here's the mod. On the earphone with the two toggle switches...

1. Remove the ear cup on the side with the 2 toggle switches. It just pops off but you might need a small screwdriver to wedge the two halfs apart.
2. Cut the wires to the toggle switches and remove them.
3. Remove the two red wires from the center lug of the volume pot and discard them, desolder the lug you will be soldering 2 wires back on there.
4. Splice the 2 red wires together and seal with some shrink wrap tube.
5. Solder the black and the blue wires to the center lug of the volume pot.

That's it, works perfectly and should work on any machine that can use stereo phones. I purchased a couple of rubber plugs for the toggle switch holes at the local hardware store.
 
Hey Charles with the Bliss I need to have the toggle in the opposite position of the the CTX, you think this will cause an issue??? for the record the speaker in the bliss does not silent with the headphones now either :rage:
 
I didn't know the SunRay Golds needed a mod done to work.............:rofl: Anyone else having problems with the Golds?

I installed a new jack while I was at it. I'm off to the beach in T minus 2 hours!

I know nothing of the Bliss so I can't say.
 
I guess I missed that post about the SunRays....:rofl: , I thought is was just the Detector Pro's. Thanks for the heads up.
 
I would never get rid of the toggle switchs on my headphones. I love being able to turn off the headphones while I am pin pointing. Before I had these I used to put the headphones down around my neck to be able to hear the pro pointer.
