Hi, first of all apologies if this has been asked before, but my search didn’t turn up the answer I was after.
I’m very much an electronics beginner and I want to connect the XLR outs of an ADI-2 Pro FS to the RCA ins of my pre. I am soldering my own wires using unbalanced cable. The manual says pin 3 should be left unconnected, but should pin 1 be connected to the outer sleeve and pin 2 to the inner, or the other way round?
Thanks in advance,
J
1 outer, 2 inner. Although you should use the TS outputs instead.

Many thanks - is there a particular advantage to using TS over XLR when unbalanced?
In most units yes, but in the ADI-2 Pro the difference is just convenience. TS to RCA adapters and cables are easily available, you don't need to solder.

So I wouldn’t notice a difference in sound quality between TS and XLR with the RME?
I actually already have some XLR cables (just wired incorrectly for the RME) and happy with soldering

You got already an answer ...

Thanks Ramses, yes I suppose I did... I guess I just wanted to clarify whether the 'no difference' was in terms of sound quality. On reflection, what else would it have been?!
