Err?The Marantz Sa11S1 manual shows a pin config for supposedly a US standard female XLR and a European stnd. female XLR. In the Marantz manual it says US stnd. is pin 3 hot, Euro stnd. pin 2 hot.
Googleing AES/EBU XLR pin assignments shows pin 2 (+). The AES is not necessarily a US stnds agency but the US audio profession widely accepts it's standards. And of course the EBU is the European Braodcast Union.
My Mark Levinson 380S preamp manual says pin 2 positive(+)???.
I would suggest that pin 2 + or hot is the US/AES/EBU american/european stnd.
Another poster a long while ago suggested the Marantz manual was wrong as to the US stnd. and suggested a pin swap on end of each XLR cable to achieve correct polarity. I listened to it both ways and went with the cable pin swap on 1 end of each xlr cable.
If you had an all Marantz reference system as currently manufactured, you would leave the xlr cable ends alone and be correct, I guess. At least that's what the local Marantz dealers say.
If all of the above is correct, then the Marantz (and possibly the Asian standard) is pin 3 hot.
