Hello First poper post ! Just to say that i have never made a lead up before and do feel free to patronize me by making explaining things as you would to a dog.
I am looking to make leads going form my Mackie8buss desk (unbalanced jack wired tip high,ring and sleve ground) to a quad 520f power amp (balanced XLR wired pins 1 chassis 2 hot 3 cold)
Now i'm not sure what that all means coz none of the terms used tie up with each other. I can make out the bits on the xlr as they are numberd but the jack is a bit more tricky.
I have bought some vann damm mic cabel the xlrs but do i buy mono or stereo jacks.
Its the terminolagy that confuses me what bit is what and were do i wire the red one too
sorry for rambleing and asking questions that are so basic.
Many thanks

You must buy a stereo pin jack an solder ground-hot-cold wires separatly.
In Mackie manuals is scheme for soldering that pin jack.
I think that largest contac is ground , middle contact is cold ,and point contact is hot.
