These leads are cleverly wired to improve the signal quality when connecting from balanced to unbalanced equipment. Our method is tried and tested by professionals around the world, you will find these cables in use in high end DSLR camera rigs and PA setups.
To wire these we use a 4 core and screen cable, and wire the unused pin inside the XLR to the ground inside the jack. The screen is only connected to the jack. This method reduces interference, eliminates ground loops and improves the signal quality. Its very simple, and very effective! Should you require any other wiring to suit your requirements, please ask.
