Default Star Quad Cable Wiring (Canare)

I wouldn't bother with Star Quad, I'd just use single
conductor shielded cable, since you're not going very far anyway, and
your connection is not balanced.

If you have to use the Star Quad because that's all you have on hand, I
would use the two whites for ground, the two blues for signal, and
tie the shield to ground on the source end but leave the shield floating
on the destination end. (This might mean putting some heatshrink over
the shield and them clamping over the heatshrink for Switchcraft XLRs.)

How would I wire this with a single conductor? Remember I am wanting to split the signal into two 1/4" TS connectors for stereo. Headphone out to two TS 1/4".
