[BC] The XLR pinout debate

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

I dunno where I learned (or heard) it... but I always remember it as
Ground - Load - Return  ... I just "X" for 'ground'.  So the 'Load' leg (if
you could call it that....) would always be on #2,  I guess you'd call that
'HOT' - and even if you fouled up and put the X (in my lingo... ground) on
3... #2 would still be 'HOT'...

   I also think likewise when hooking up an XLR to TRS... (or SRT)
