Rather than wait for the official waterproof Headphone Adaptor Cable 3.5mm (1/8-inch) to 6.35mm (1/4-inch)  lead i made my own with a 1/8" Male To 1/4" Female Headphone Lead and the WM08 blanking screw that comes with the unit i just drilled the blanking screw out and glued the 3.5 (1/8) end in then used a silicone washer for a watertight seal easy.

the WM08 is not waterproof. The connector would be better suited for the headphone connector on the control head. Also the wireless signal will not work when the EQ is submerged under water.

From all the measurements I just took looking at my dustcap and the 800's headphone jack, this could work IF properly sealed BUT it wouldn't work in the long run, you are dealing with plastic threads on the dustcap. Sealing between the dustcap and the headphone jack, after ensuring the headphone jack is properly inserted to make the connection and then adding a .075" thick rubber seal or O-ring and you would have a temporary accessory cable. 

Personally, I think I'll wait if I can't get the proper  threaded connector to adapt. I'd hate to mess up a new machine that I've waited 6 months for....
