XLR to SE RCA interconnect - HELP please


I have the following problem:

My pre-amp has got only RCA single-ended out and my power-amps only XLR balanced input.

How do I wire the XLR plug to have absolute polarity. I think I got it wrong...

Also have a CD player with only Balanced out and need to wire the interconnect from XLR to SE RCA correctly...

Your help is appreciated,

According to Victor at BAT it doesn't really matter, since 50% of recordings are recorded out of phase anyway. Does your preamp have a phase invert switch? If so, just use it in the position that sounds best for you.

FWIW, pin # 2 hot is the standard, however, not all manufacturers adhere to this standard. So you may want to check with your amplifier manufacturer as to their/your ampifier is wired.

You may also just want to look into buying a pair of these.
