Hosa 2 XLR(F) to stereo 1/8" - right vs. left?
« on: August 30, 2008, 12:39:50 AM »
I picked up a Hosa 2 XLR(F) to stereo 1/8" adapter for board patches.  How do I tell which XLR is left and which is right?  No markings on the XLR connectors.  One of the cables has writing on it - Hosa LF PVC.  Is that left?  You can see the writing a little bit in this pic.



Here is the pin out if that helps.

If only I could.  The mics I have with an XLR connection require phantom power and I don't have an adapter to allow me to plug into the phantom power with a 1/8" jack.  The mics I have that don't require phantom power only have a 1/8" jack, so without buying another adapter, I have no way to plug them in to be able to test them.

when you plug it into the board try this. plug one xlr in and check which side it is using your levels. and go from there.

i would assume (but we know what happens there) that the one on the left when looking at the cable with the "locks" up is left

please report back when you find out for sure

This may seem sensible but the assumption will lead to what I have: a mislabeled cable.

To determine this at home without putting a signal on it, grab a multimeter and ohm it out.
Remember the tip is left.
