im not sure how, but recently the rca cable that i plug into the outputs on my rmx snapped and one of the metal leads that sticks out is stuck in the female connector on my rmx. i managed to get the other one out. pictures are attached.
the rmx still works without any output (using only the headphones) and im fairly certain that it will continue to work normally even if i plug in another cable into the same output. however, i dont want to push that lead any further down the connector and ideally id like to get it out. is the only way to do this to fully disassemble the rmx?

The Rmx can obviously be disassembled, but this is not necessarily an easy process.

You might want to try using a fairly strong magnet (look at you local hardware store) to pull back the pin out of the socket. I'm thinking this could be sufficient to solve the problem.

The magnet idea did come to mind... I will give it a shot. Otherwise, are there any guides for taking about the controller?

Hi
if that dont work you can use tweezers and find a grip some how and pull it out, it my take 20 attempts
another idea is to use a metal pin smaller guage on the tip of the pin use a small tiny amount of super glue, some how hold or sit the rmx so the RCA sockets are facing the floor then poke the pin (with Glue) and touch the end of the pin  to the RCA (Snaped pin) let it set for 10 mins or so, once set, you should be able to give it a very gentle pull and it all should slide out.
if you dont want to run into this isse again, you can get an RCA Male to Female Adaptor and keep that "plugged in at all times"
and just jack in to it, if an rca calve pin snaps, just replace the adaptor.
