Hello, just have a quick question to anyone who can answer. Making an adapter cable for an Atmasphere MP-3 XLR output to a tube amp with single ended input.It is clear pin 2 on the XLR goes to the center pin on the RCAIt is also clear pin 1 and 3 should be shorted on the XLR MP-3 output.
My question relates to the cable shield. Would it be recommended:1. Tie shield to pin 3 on the XLR as well and leave it floating on the RCA end?
2. Tie shield to pin 3 on the XLR as well and connect it to the RCA outer shell?3. Do not tie shield at all to pin3 on the XLR connector but to the RCA shell
4. Do not tie shield at any ends?
This might sound simplistic but I believe that to avoid ground loops maybe the ground on the atmasphere should not be connected in any way to the ground of the RCA single ended amp
