Pete Brunelli quoted a faq about pro-audio, that said sometimes, on xlr connectors, pin 1 is "hot", sometimes it's the pin 2, and sometimes it's the pin 3.
Supposing that the XLR connector is that one i find in my BluesBlaster mic, and supposing, by the FAQ quoted, that the "purpose" of each pin of a XLR connector may vary, my question is: Could I be using the wrong cable to connect my mic to my amp?
I own this BluesBlaster mic, bought Jan/96, the first cable I saw for sale (that had that 3 pin plug on one side, and that "guitar cable plug" on the other), and a Bassman Reissue.
