Title: AT8531 XLR's > 3.5mini cable how to..
Post by: Neilyboy on October 03, 2010, 07:57:17 PM
have not been able to dig up much more than at's website where they do not have any info on the 8531 xlr outs. I am just wanting to make a cable to leave two 8531's out to a 3.5 mini to throw into my m10.

Here is the link to AT's site for the 8531 (not much there but a picture).

I snagged two 8531 power modules and would like to make a cable that will have two xlrs to a 3.5mini. I am just wondering how to wire this up what pins go to where on the 3.5 thanks so much in advance. or if someone can supply me with a schematic of the 8531 which I can not seem to find.

I do the exact same thing with my DR-07. I just bought this cable though, and it works fine: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CYX405F
I can't give you much more help, and it was kind of pricey, but it works.

thanks for the link 12milluz.. I am wanting to make the cable myself.. if you have a multimeter and want to let me know what pins on the xlrs go to where on the 3.5 trs that would rock!

Left xlr pins:
