are the XLR's on my hd192 wired to european or US convention?
European is : 1=screen(ground) , 2=hot(+) , 3=cold(-)

Thanks

Same "standard" as in Canada and I'm 99% sure it's like that in the States. There was a period when pin 3 was hot. I have a Soundcraft 8000 from the late 80's that is pin 3 hot.

a little confused now

I've been told that :
european/UK is: 1=screen 2=hot 3=cold
US is: 1=screen 2=cold 3=hot

edit: I cant find anything about XLR "standard" in MOTU manual or on HD192.
