Correct XLR connections?

dantwomey · 27th July 2003, 04:40 PM

I'm putting together my Aleph 5 and I'm wondering what the correct connections are for the XLR connector. The connector (as seen in the picture below) has a tab connected to the frame of the connector and pins 1,2, and 3. Traditionally, which pin does +, -, and G go to? For added clarity I've included the power supply diagram I'm using.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan

In this pic, you can see that pin 2 is hot (+), pin 3 is cold (-), and pin 1 is ground.

Hope this helps,
Tim.

Oops, Joe posted while I was composing, and my pic didn't come out clearly. Visit this page for a better look:

Also, I notice that our advice isn't the same - with respect the Rane site will be correct.

See ya,
Tim.

Tim is quite right. That is the most commonly used connection format, and the industry standard for balanced connection.

Cheers,
