: Hello,
: I need some help wiring a cable for my Sennheiser Mic to my camera. It uses 3 Pin XLR balanced wire. I have the wire - Canare L-4E6S it had 4 wires in it 2 white and 2 blue with a braided sheild. I also Have the XLR Connectors - Neutrik they have 3 pins and a tab that looks to be for sheilding. I do not know the proper way to wire these cables. I am very capable of doing this I just need the diagram of instructions. The reason I am building them is I need right angle XLR plug on the camera end. Markertek could not gaurantee that they would angle up. So I bought the supplies myself. Help ASAP thanks.
All you need is 3 conductors (wires inside the cable). All you do is wire 'em up.......just make sure that the conductors pin assignments match on each end of the cable. For example. take one conductor, wire it to pin 1 on the XLR connector. Do the EXACT same on the other end.
