Update:
I made up a two leads; one that had the shield conencted to pin 3 at the RCA end and another without the shield connected at the RCA.
On two separate occasions, the lead that did not have the shield conencted at the RCA end caused hum & interference on the camera audio.
I wonder why the Van Den Hul website recommends that it is better to leave the shield unconnected?

The shield is only connected on the input (XLR) side.
They recommend that you only connect the shield (Pin 1 on the XLR) to the RCA ground if there are hum problems? |
