So how does the RCA connector accommodate 2 connectors(positive and negative) and a ground wire.
^Twist them together.^
I put together some XLR to RCA yesterday.
On the Neutrik XLR:
- The two clear wires twisted together to pin 2.
- The two blue wires twisted together to pin 3.
- The shield all twisted up and soldered to pin 1.
On the RCA:
- Clear wire pair twisted (XLR pin 2) to RCA center
- Blue wire pair twisted (XLR pin 3) to RCA shell.
- shield trimmed back, and not touching the shell at the RCA.
On the DAC I split the power and shoved a ferrite core on, with the +V in the one direction and the -V wound the other way.
