HOW TO MAKE XLR CABLE FOR AHUJA AUDIO MIC 🎤 || XLR CABLE COLOUR CODING

Making an XLR cable for an Ahuja audio microphone involves correctly connecting the wires inside the XLR connector to ensure proper signal transmission. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making an XLR cable with proper color coding:
Materials Needed:
XLR connector (male or female, depending on your needs)
Microphone cable (typically a shielded cable with two or more conductors)
Wire cutters/strippers
Soldering iron and solder
Heat shrink tubing (optional)
XLR Pinout and Color Coding:
XLR connectors have three pins, each with a designated wire connection:
Pin 1 (Ground/Shield): This is usually connected to the cable shield or ground wire.
Pin 2 (Positive): This carries the positive audio signal.
Pin 3 (Negative): This carries the inverted audio signal.
Steps:
Prepare the Cable:
Strip the outer insulation of the microphone cable carefully to expose the inner wires and the shield.
Inside, you will typically find two conductors (usually insulated with different colors) and a shield (often braided copper).
Strip and Tin the Wires:
Strip a small amount of insulation from each conductor (usually about 1/4 inch or 6 mm).
Tin the exposed ends of each conductor and the shield with solder. This helps in easier soldering and prevents fraying.
Prepare the XLR Connector:
Unscrew the metal casing of the XLR connector.
Slide the casing over the cable with the narrow end facing the cable end.
Soldering:
Pin 1 (Ground): Solder the shield wire to the pin 1 terminal inside the XLR connector. This is usually the terminal closest to the cable entry point.
Pin 2 (Positive): Solder the conductor that corresponds to the positive signal (often a colored wire) to the pin 2 terminal.
Pin 3 (Negative): Solder the other conductor (often a different colored wire) to the pin 3 terminal.
Ensure that no wires or solder connections touch each other between pins, as this can cause shorts.
Insulate:
Once soldered, slide the XLR connector casing over the soldered connections and screw it back onto the connector body.
Optionally, use heat shrink tubing to individually cover each solder joint for added insulation and strain relief.
Testing:
Before use, it's advisable to test the cable using your Ahuja microphone and audio equipment to ensure proper functionality.
Color Coding Guide:
While color coding may vary slightly between manufacturers, a common color code for microphone cables is:
Pin 1 (Ground/Shield): Usually connected to the shield (bare wire or black insulation).
Pin 2 (Positive): Typically connected to a wire with red insulation.
Pin 3 (Negative): Often connected to a wire with white insulation.
Always verify the specific color coding of your microphone cable to ensure correct connections.
