Topic: mini-jack to 2x XLR with attenuation

[Todd R]

I think you need to talk to your instructors about getting new textbooks.

Here is diagram that Brad had up in the Archive>Cable section:



This conforms to what I always see.  In this diagram, screen = ground, hot = signal(+), and cold = signal(-), just different terminology.

The balanced to unbalanced you show is correct btw, pin 2 (signal+) to the tip or ring, and then pins 1 and 3 tied together.

Yeah I googled it and that's what i came up with too.  I'll ask wtf they were talking about.

OK, finally getting round to doing this job...

I'm clear on the pin asignments and the need to connect pins 1 & 3 together in each XLR plug, but I'm a little unsure about the little tab inside the XLR - does this also get linked to pins 1 & 3?

As always, all advice is much appreciated.
