Re: Which XLR Pin Is Hot?

65.115.221.98

Sounds to me like pin 3 is the + and your pin 1 is the ground. Some of the older audio equip. like the older soundcraft mixers etc. used to use:
pin 3 +
pin 2 -
pin 1 gnd.

But now days and on more modern equipment, it has become pretty much the standard this way:
pin 1 gnd
pin 2 +
pin 3 -

Hope this helps.
