Figure 2: Connecting to unbalanced inputs
1) On the XLR connector (4), use a wire bridge to connect pin 1
to pin 3 and the cable shield.
2) Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2 on the XLR
connector (4) and the tip contact of the jack plug (5).
Unbalanced cables may pick up interference from stray magnetic
elds near power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc. like an
antenna. This may introduce hum or similar noise if you use a cable
that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).

1) Connecting the cable: Push the mini XLR connector (1) on
the pickup cable into one of the two mini XLR sockets on the
B23 L (2) to the stop.
The connector will lock automatically.
Disconnecting the cable: To disconnect the cable, press the
unlocking button on the mini XLR connector (1) and pull the
connector (1) out of the socket.
To avoid damaging the cable, never try to pull out the cable itself!

Use a commercial XLR cable (3) to connect the B23 L (2) to a
balanced input.
