Why should the "shell" of an XLR connector not be connected to …
2021年7月9日 · When the shell is grounded by the metal chassis, it allows the actual audio common ground to be connected inside the device as is best fit for a ground reference, to minimize ground loops such as in single point star fashion, instead of letting ground currents flow via device metal chassis.

2016年6月1日 · In accordance with these best practices outlined above, Benchmark bonds pin 1 of XLR chassis connectors directly to chassis ground. Benchmark leaves the cable tab unterminated on all analog XLR cables, but terminates this tab on AES digital XLR cables. Benchmark recommends leaving the cable tab unconnected on all analog XLR cables.
using XLR balanced cables - do they have to be grounded at …
2014年11月6日 · At the XLR end the cable will be grounded. The RCA end doesn't have a shield pin so at this end the cable is ungrounded. Balanced XLR is three connections, including ground.
cable shielding -- connect to ground on either or both ends?
2022年11月6日 · One solution is to ground the coaxial cable at the output side, and then use the shield at the input side for remote sense to remove the common mode voltage. This can also work in reverse with the output side remote sensing the input side, but it is not standardized.
To shell or not to shell - XLR grounding - Steve Hoffman Music Forums
2023年4月9日 · Chassis ground is connected to protective earth. The XLR shell is connected to that chassis ground inside my devices. That’s why the shell of my XLR connectors shouldn’t be connected to pin 1 (cable shield/signal ground), as according to AES standards. Otherwise a ground loop could occur.

2012年10月4日 · But even for XLR cables built for a specific purpose in location production sound, the shells should be grounded. So, for the work this group does with XLR audio cables, the definitive answer is to ground XLR shells to pin-1 at all cable ends.
Neutrik is often asked whether the shiny silver tab (pictured below) on typical XLR cable connectors (Neutrik XX series, RX series, X series, etc.) should be connected to anything. The point of this component, which is part of the original XLR specification, is to provide shield continuity to the cable
XLR ground - Pin, spring or both? - diyAudio
2021年6月20日 · Normally in the cables, the shield is connected to pin 1, hot to pin 2, cold to pin 3 and nothing to the shell. Inside AES-48 compliant equipment, pin 1 is connected straight to the shell and the chassis.
XLR Pin 1 question - chassis vs circuit ground - diyAudio
2008年2月14日 · I have been making XLR cables for over 20 years, and have never connected the XLR chassis to ground, (and neither has any other tech I know, or have I found any cables wired as such). Pin one is connected to the shield, and pins 2 and 3 to the twisted pair.
Grounding XLR shells
2014年5月31日 · The Audio Engineering Society has Standard #54 about XLR shells. The standard is the cable shells not be connected to the shield. They worry that a portable cable's shell could easily with any metal object that's at some other ground potential. But from an interference point of view, connecting the shell to the shield is a good idea.
