THE THIN LINES SHOW TWO VARIATIONS DEPENDINDING ON THE WIRE YOU USE
UNBALANCED BALANCED OR
UNBALANCED
= SHIELD
EITHER JOIN PINS 1 & 3 AT THE XLR
OR CONNECT THESE LINES AT THE
PHONE PLUG
1) GROUND = CHASSIS = SHIELD = SLEEVE = PIN 1 on XLRs
2) THE AES STANDARD FOR XLRs IS:
PIN 1 = SHIELD
PIN 2 = HOT (POS)
PIN 3 = LOW (NEG)
3) THE GENERAL CONVENTION FOR 1/4" STEREO, TRS JACKS &
BANTAM JACKS FOR BALANCED SIGNALS IS:
TIP = HOT (POS)
RING = LOW (NEG)
SLEEVE = SHIELD
4) THE GENERAL CONVENTION FOR 1/4" STEREO FOR STEREO
APPLICATIONS (ie; HEADPHONES) IS:
TIP = LEFT
RING = RIGHT
SLEEVE = GROUND & SHIELD
5) THE GENERAL CONVENTION FOR 1/4" STEREO FOR INSERT
APPLICATIONS (ie; PROJECT MIXERS) IS:
TIP = OUT
RING = IN
SLEEVE = GROUND & SHIELD
6) 1/4" PHONE JACKS & TRS PATCHBAY JACKS ARE DIFFERENT
SIZES AND SHOULD NOT BE MIXED UP. CONTACTS WILL BEND.
7) 1/8" PHONE JACKS & BANTAM PATCHBAY JACKS
ARE DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHOULD NOT BE MIXED UP.
CONTACTS WILL BEND.
8) DO NOT TRUST THAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS THE SAME IDEAS
ABOUT COLOR CODES IN WIRES AS YOU. ALWAYS CHECK WITH
A CONTINUITY CHECKER OR VOM METER WHEN ATTACHING A
CONNECTOR TO ONE END OF A BUILT CABLE.
9) USE GOOD SHIELDED WIRE, SOLDER PROPERLY, & TEST
10) DON'T PANIC - IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY IT
ANOTHER WAY. TRY CONNECTING XLR PINS 1 & 3. SOMETIMES
NOT CONNECTING THE SHIELD TO PIN 1 MAY HELP REMOVE
HUM. IF THE SIGNAL IS DOWN 6 dB, THEN IT INDICATES ONLY 1/2
OF THE CABLE IS WORKING. CHECK THAT BOTH PINS 2 & 3
GET TO THIER DESTINATION. IF SOMETHING SEEMS OUT OF
PHASE, FIRST CHECK THAT ANY PHASE SWITCHES (FRONT
OR BACK PANEL IS THE CAUSE. IF NOT. SWAPPING THE WIRES
FROM PINS 2 & 3 SHOULD EITHER FIX IT OR KILL THE SIGNAL.
TROUBLESHOOTING - TRY SWAPPING CHANNELS - TRY PLUGGING
DIFFERENT CABLES IN TEMPORARILY. TRY PATCHING IN A
DIFFERENT PLACE OR DIFFERENT ORDER.
MANLEY GEAR - THIS PAGE CAME WITH GEAR WITH TRUE TRANSFORMER
BALANCED XLR INPUTS AND OUTPUTS. ANY 1/4" JACKS ARE UNBALANCED (NO
TRANSFORMER). TRANSFORMERS PROVIDE THE MOST "FORGIVING & FLEXIBLE"
INTERFACES. OLDER MANLEY GEAR MAY NOT BE BALANCED OR PIN 2 = HOT.
CHECK THE ORIGINAL MANUAL.
LANGEVIN - 1/4" JACKS ARE UNBALANCED AND MUST BE A MONO (T S) PLUG.
