It's okay, but absolute signal polarity will be inverted. You can compensate by either reversing + and - speaker wire connections at your amplifier (or at your speaker, but not at both amp and speaker), or flipping a polarity inversion switch on your CD player or preamp (if your equipment has a switch).
XLR inverted, is it OK?
Hi,
I plan to try XLR connection between CD and int. amp.
Unfortunately, just found my CD player with XLR output:
pin 1-> ground,
ping 2-> signal -,
ping 3-> signal +.
and my int. amp has XLR input:
pin 1-> ground,
pin 2->signal +,
pin 3->signal -.
I'm wondering if it's OK to use normal XLR interconnect?
Since I don't think the special ordered inverted XLR cable will have any trial period.
Thanks for help,
