Urgent help - wiring XLR to Jack (speaker cable)

Hi there,

I need to solder an XLR onto the end of a speaker cable with a 1/4" TS on the other end.

The solder tips of XLR are marked 1, 2 and 3 - 1 is nine oclock, 3 is six oclock and 2 is 3 oclock (these are the solder tips, not the face that mates with the socket).

Where do I solder the red and black cores of the speaker cable? Does anything need to be bridged the same as an XLR instrument cable?

I've spent an hour looking for this info, but can't find anything conclusive!

Cheers
Chris

Don't use speaker cable. You need either screened pair mic cable or single core screened instrument cable.

Oh balls, of course! Doh.

Only speaker cable between amp and cab, right?

What should i be using for daisy chaining [i]between[/i] powered cabs then?
