An XLR to RCA cable converts a balanced audio signal into an unbalanced signal. This is good for sending audio signals from an XLR source to an RCA input; or vice versa. Regardless of direction; the result will be an unbalanced signal. This is a premium quality cable with gold plated connectors at each end. The cable is made with two 16 AWG oxygenfree copper conductors; in a twistedpair arrangement; and is shielded along the full length with copper braid with 97.5% coverage. This cable uses the standard pinout with pins 1 and 3 of the XLR connector wired to the shield of the RCA plug and pin 2 of the XLR connector wired to the tip of the RCA plug.
