Help with DIN to stereo XLR cable

Post by swingdoc » Sat Jan 03, 2004 10:28 pm

Hi,
I need help with making a DIN to stereo XLR cable.
I have a B&O BM5. It currently has a 5 pin DIN cable.
The DIN is wired as:
1-black
4-red
2-bare
5-green
3-blue

Here's the schematic from B&O.
they state the BM5 is two BM6's on top of each other. (actually a BM6 and BM7).

So how would I wire the current DIN into a stereo XLR given this schematic?
thanks.

hey, the image is "past the daily usage limit".
I'd bet that it's going to be this:
Left XLR:
Pin 1 goes to DIN2 (bare)
Pin 2 goes to DIN4 (red)
Pin 3 goes to DIN1 (black)

Right XLR
Pin 1 goes to DIN2 (bare)
Pin 2 goes to DIN3 (blue)
Pin 3 goes to DIN5 (green)

but I'd really love to see the schematic before I'd bet too much money on it. i'd say that if there were any problems with what I wrote it would be that I have left and right reversed, or I have the polarity reversed on the right one (blue and green reversed)

See if this link works.
The schematic should be the first or second image in the gallery.


Apparently this site has a "daily use limit" that will null the links if used too often??
I guess I gotta pay em to make it work betta...

Thanks!
