RCA (UNBALANCED) to XLR (F)
XLR (M) to XLR (F)
XLR (F) to Stereo 3.5mm
For this cable, the LEDs (being referenced to the jacks on the right) are referenced to the XLR female
end. In a properly-wired Pin 2 Hot cable such as this, Pins 1 and 3 of the XLR (representing Shield and
Cold respectively) are bridged. The red LEDs under C and S, will therefore illuminate. Only the H and S
green LEDs will light, showing good through connections to both contacts of the RCA.
This cable (Hosa’s model XVM-105) feeds a mono audio signal
equally to both Left and Right contacts in a personal portable device’s
stereo input. Pins 1 and 3 are bridged, and Hot and Cold of the
3.5mm plug are bridged to Pin 2.
To rule-out or confirm “chassis
ground” (headshells shorted to
shield), run test again in “Speaker”
Mode, which activates the G LEDs.
