I have 8 xlr to TRS cables to inputs and 8 to outputs.
how I have to solder wires on xlr connector?
is pin 3 hot???
...and pin 1 and 2 are soldered together?
I did this and I cannot hear the difference between using basic cable or modified cable?????

what's wrong? :confused:

I have Otaris manual..

Toni.
 
yeah I believe pin 3 is hot.

you shouldn't necessarily hear a difference at all, the polarity is simply reversed. I had to solder new XLRs on my snake for my 5050-8, but my snake didn't work at all the way it was wired stock (pin 2 hot I think?).

You probably could have left it the way it was if it worked.
 
Pin 3 is hot. The inputs are also unbalanced, despite being on XLR connections. I just soldered up a XLR-TRS snake a couple hours ago for my new (to me) 5050. Are the outputs on whatever you are sending signal from balanced or unbalanced?
