Hi all.
Can an XLR plug be replaced with a TRS on a mic cable?
Thanks so much.
Can you tell I'm a newbie?

Re: XLR replacement

You should check the equipment, e. g. mixer where you want to connect the microphone. There isn't a clear standard for using TRS at microphone inputs, to my knowledge. It is for stereo audio, also for send-return cables. Some equipment may require the ring shorted to the sleeve for microphone inputs, this may decrease noise supression with others.

Re: XLR replacement

Thanks so much for the info.
I'd probably be taking on more than I can handle but I might give it a try.
That Sweetwater info tells a lot. I didn't know they had so much tech information.
thanks.........
