Hello, I looked at the sticky thread about the XLR pinout assignments but it didn’t address this, at least from what I could see.
Could someone please let me know what pins 1, 2, and 3 are? Is it 1-ground, 2-cold, 3-hot? Or is it 1-ground, 2-hot, 3-cold?
Any help is appreciated!

It is pin 2 hot, pin 3 invert and pin 1 ground. Used to be many audio components before 1989 were pin 3 hot and 2 cold/invert and pin 1 ground.

It has the most current information on Emotiva products: emotivalounge.proboards.com/post/1046137/thread |

The below statement is copied from the thread you linked. I’m not very technical so just to make sure I’m clear, pin 2 is hot? ”—Confirmed by Emotiva, ALL Emotiva preamps and processor have their XLR inputs wired Pin #2+ (the signal’s phase will not be altered)” |

Pin 2 is "hot" ( + = positive = "hot") Just to clarify even further, with the exception of the XLR inputs of all Emotiva XPA series power amplifiers ( all generations - both current and past), the XLR inputs and outputs of all other Emotiva products are correctly wired using the universally accepted AES " pin 2 hot" standard. Hope that helps...  |
