So this is the deal.
I have a headset that uses an XLR connector.
I need to go from the male 4 pin XLR to a male RJ11.
I have made a cable but the issue I'm having is the the mic audio is very low.
Speaker sounds great.
I do not have the official pin out of the headset. But from trial and error I have come up with this for the XLR.
Unshielded ground attached to connector housing.
Pin 1 Speaker HOT (Blue)
Pin 2 Ground (White)
Pin 3 Mic HOT (Black)
Pin 4 Ground (two wires RED/Yellow)
The cable I made is as follows:
Standard phone handset coiled cable. One end I replaced with a female 4 pin XLR.
Pin 1 Yellow
Pin 2 Black
Pin 3 red
Pin 4 green
Note that I have not (or able to) ground to the the female XLR housing. The RJ11 cable does not provide for that. This may be the issue????
I may also need more power than the standard RJ11 system can provide.
Feel free to pick apart some of the assumptions I have made. This is a bit over my head.
