Best Answer

XLR uses 3 pins, in order 1 = ground, 2 = hot, 3 = cold. You connect those to three pins in the 25 pins, but you need to check the manual of the connected unit which pins to connect them to.

How do you convert a 4 pins mini xlr female plug to a 3pins mini xlr female plug?

Normally it is so that you connect pins 123 normally, and connect pin 4 to pin 3 or leave it disconnected.

3 pin XLR's are mono. 5 pin XLR's are special connectors usually used in stereo microphones, but usually split on the other end to two mono XLR's.

What kind of electrical connection uses an XLR?

Professional microphones and recording equipment use the XLR electrical connector. The basic connectors use a three pin system but they vary in complexity depending on the type of equipment that is being used with it.


What type of connector is used when hooking up DMX lights?

Simply put, all lighting devices carrying a DMX protocol use an XLR type connector. However, the industry standard in stage lighting involves using a 5-pin XLR connector. Most conventional consoles and dimmers use 5-pin connectors, but nowaday, 3-pin XLR connectors are also being used - in perticular in 'intelligent' or moving head lights. These do not function any differently to a 5-pin connector, just all the signals are merged into fewer pins. The reason why the industry standard is still 5-pin, is because many people disagree that a 3-pin connector should be used, because many devices have been damaged when stage crew connect a 3-pin XLR cable (carrying DMX) to an audio mixer, thinking it's comming from a microphone. So the industry standard is still a 5-pin XLR connector, to avoid confusion between what each cable is carrying. I'm guessing that you're connecting up some lights, so if you equipment uses 5-pin connectors, go right ahead. But if your equipment uses 3-pin connectors, just make sure that you know exactly where it's being connected, and that you're lighting console has a 3-pin DMX out connector. But don't worry if the connectors on each end of DMX line are different. You can buy cheap adapters that convert the signal of 5 pins to 3 pins, or vica versa. Hope this helped! a.jaudzems

Can you connect 2 separate XLR inputs to one quarter inch RCA outputs?

Normally, you can. To be clear, RCA connectors (known as phonos in Europe) are not 1/4" jacks. The two are different types of connector and for this answer, we will assume that the connector is in fact a 1/4" jack rather than RCAs. There are several wiring configurations depending on how the 1/4" jack is wired. If the jack socket carries a stereo audio signal (like a headphone output), this is the right configuration: The tip of the 1/4" jack is wired to pin 2 of the first XLR plug. The ring of the jack is wired to pin 2 of the second XLR plug Both of these should use the core of a screened cable. The screens of both cables should be connected to the sleeve of the jack. Each screen should them be connected to pins 1 and 3 of the appropriate XLR. If the jack is carrying balanced, single channel audio, this is the configuration: The tip of the jack is connected to pin 2 of the XLR plug. The ring of the XLR connects to pin 3 of the XLR and the sleeve of the jack connects to pin 1 of the XLR. To connect 2 XLRs to the same jack output, simply wire two cables into the jack and put an XLR on the end of each cable. These cover most of the common configurations but as with all things, there are exceptions to these guidelines. If there is any doubt about the way the connectors need to be wired, it's worth asking the right questions before proceeding. It might be worth mentioning that the output levels of domestic equipment tend to be lower than for professional equipment. You may find that the audio level might be lower than expected when connecting to XLR inputs.


If I want to record music on a Dynamic Mic through my computer do I need to convert the audio or do I just need to get an XLR to USB cable?

An XLR to USB cable has a converter in it. It isn't just a cable. An audio interface can be used to allow you to use any dynamic microphone or instrument and connect it to the USB or Firewire interface with an XLR cable.
