I am relatively new to headphones. I have one pair which are the Focal Clear.
I have two questions, please:
1. I am about to get a Holo Serene preamp, which uses the two XLR-3 outputs for the headphones. I am having an adapter made for me and want to make sure I do it correctly. The two XLR-3 are combined into one XLR-4. With the XLR-3, The 1 pin is groundand the 2 pin is hot/+, the 3 pin is cold/- . When these are used only the 1 pin and the 2 pin are used, and the 3 pin is not, correct? What seems odd is that the ground is common for both 1 pins, is that correct.
2. Is Mogami 2549 good for this cable? From the XLR-4 to the 3.5mm at the ear of the Focal Clear is 10’.
thank you
