I need to know how to wire an xlr y adapter - Behringer EUROPOWER EP2500 Amplifier

  • cris_ferguso Oct 28, 2009

    I need to create an adapter cable. I need to sum the output of a mixer with two xlr outputs to an amp that I'm going to be running in bridged mono mode so I'm only going to use one xlr input on the amp. Instead of ordering one, I want to make one but I need to know if it's just a straight pin to pin (1 to 1, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3) or if I need to do anything different.
    Thanks!!

Hi,

I always solder it this way.
Take a female XLR connector, two thin sym. cables and two male XLR connectors.
Solder both cable parallel in the female connector and the ends on the male connectors.
This way you get the same signals on both inputs of your amplifier.

Regards,
Gerard

I have recently bought an AKG Perception 120 microphone and plan on recording through GarageBand on my Macbook Pro, but no sound is coming through. please help!

You say you have a XLR to USB adapter....so the version of the 120 you have is the regular XLR version, right? Well if it is, it needs what's called "phantom power" to work. It looks like they have a straight USB version of this mic, and that's what you should have gotten if you didn't want to use anything else. If you still want to use this mic as is, I would recommend a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. I have one and it's great. I do have a pc though and I'm not sure about Mac. But it's a usb powered preamp that gives you two mic pre's along with headphone amp, and a volume control for your speakers and has phantom power built in. Great unit and around $120. NFI.

Does Allen-Heath Mix Wizard 16:2 (first generation) require Tip-Ring-Sleeve for Aux sends?

You should use TRS since that is balanced just like XLRs.
Especially for long wire runs. This is if you go for XLR on the other end =
Pin 1= Sleeve
Pin 2= Tip (HOT)
Pin 3= Ring
Normally, in US equipment, 2 & 3 are inverted (3 is HOT), but you got British here, they switch the HOT pin on the XLR to pin 2.
That means that if you run this unit with US speakers your signal will be out of phase. Be careful there... I have lived this with AH boards before.
You can also use normal unbalanced cable for short runs, but I suggest keeping to standards.

Is it possible to connect the unbalanced 1/4" jack outputs of Apogee's Duet to the balanced XLR inputs of Yamaha MSP7 monitors? What cables should be used?

It is possible and depends on the length of cables you will need. If you are using a fairly long run of say 50 feet, I would put a DI box with "ground lifted" to convert from unbalanced to balanced. If the cables are short, then you can probably use a unbalanced 1/4 inch plug to XLR adapter and an XLR to XLR cable between the adapter and the speakers. The system should be safe and should NOT cause any damage. Remember to run the whole interconnected system from ONE receptacle or power source.

Audio-Technica freeway 200 Series VHF Wireless System - I had problems connecting the wireless system with a quarter inch to a xlr. The sound system made a very loud disturbance sound. What cable do I use...

XLR connectors are a two-wire plus ground system. Using a 1/4 inch to XLR adapter may not connect the wires correctly to your sound system input.

The A-T Freeway 200 Series has a 1/4" output jack. This would indicate a line level. A cable to connect the tip of the 1/4" jack to pin 2 of the XLR and the sleeve of the 1/4" jack to pins 1 and 3 of the XLR should work. The XLR should be plugged into a device that accepts line level.

Ideally, you should plug the 1/4" into a 1/4" or RCA jack that is designed for line levels.

Is a dual XLR adapter available for the MV-P612U JVC stereo mic.

The MV-P162U is a stereo mic designed to plug into a JVC professional camcorder. dates from the 1990's and was very expensive.If the 6 pin plug has not been cut off, and you can get a socket to fit, then going clockwise around pins (or wiring side of socket) from the locator.
1) R phase +
2) +8V supply
3) -ve supply/gnd
4) L phase +
5) L phase -
6) R phase -
suggest a small breakout box. tested it with a 9v battery - the drain is 14ma. could run from 12v via a 285 ohm (approx) resistor with a 47uf cap across the mic supply.

Shure SM57 Wire broken off

On the XLR end, you should see a small screw hole. This screw is reverse threaded. In other words to make it go into the mic, you need to turn it counter-clockwise. Once that screw is inside the shaft, the XLR connector should come out. You may need to pull it out using needle-nose pliers. Pull carefully so you don't break the wires.

Only one channel when using my xlr adapter in AG-DVC30

XLR cables only carry one channel. There is an option in your camera to split into two channels - enable it, or split into two channels in post. To record left and right from the DVX using XLR cables, you'll need one for left, and one for right.

Good luck.
