is as follows:

XLR Pin 1 (GND) to cable shield and to the TRS sleeve
XLR Pin 2 (+) to one signal wire and to the TRS tip
XLR Pin 3 (-) to the other signal wire and to the TRS ring

Unbalanced Connections with Twisted Pair Cable

¼” phone connectors (tip and sleeve only) using shielded twisted pair cable (2 wire +
shield) is as follows:
