Thanks Good Times
Sorry, I realise that this might be completely off topic but... here's an interesting question:
I want to connect a balanced 1/4 TRS male to balanced XLR
(EMU 0404USB to Balanced XLR inputs of Cambridge Audio 840A amplifier ...wasted on setup i know!)
But I can't quite get my head around it.
For the balanced XLR I googled that:
Pin 1 is the GROUND
Pin 2 is the HOT (+) wire
Pin 3 is the COLD (-) wire
But looking at DIY-Central.com - Go Create something! - PCB Design, Electronics - How to create your own DIY cables, XLR, TRS, studio cables
I see that for the diagram for Balanced TRS -> XLR Balanced (diagram 7)... the TRS has its shield disconnected? Surely it should be more similar to diagram 21 !?!?
ARGH!!! I'll post the pics once I get my head around this... promise!
