GND is connected to pins 3, 6, 9, 12, 14, 17, 20, 23. Pin 1 is not connected. 
AES/EBU 
The XLR connectors are wired according to AES3-1992: 
1 = GND (shield) 
2 = Signal 
3 = Signal 
AES/EBU and SPDIF are biphase modulated signals, therefore polarity doesn't matter. Pins 2 
and 3 are neither hot nor cold, they carry the same signal. But as AES3 uses a balanced trans-
mission they are inverted in polarity.
