RCA to XLR interconnect wiring diagram

Building my own interconnects and looking for a wiring diagram to go from male RCA to male XLR. I am using non-shielded cable. The wire is Homegrown Audio's SC-8 silver braid which uses 8 strands of silver wire. 4 signal and 4 ground when used for RCA to RCA termination. Thanks, Brian

Thanks, ran the 4 signal wires to pin 2 and split the 4 ground wires 2 to pin 1 and 2 to pin 3 and I'm up and running with no hum at all. Brian

I must have gotten lucky with the preamp/amp combo. The preamp and speakers have been in my system for a while, but the amp is a new addition and I'm just not hearing the distortion. With a transitor amp it should have been wired ground to pin 1 and a 10k resister between pin 1 and pin 3 then right? How about going from a balanced crossover to a single ended transistor amps, would I wire the female XLR the same way with a resister between pin 1 & pin 3? Thank you for the help.
