Connecting a balanced to an unbalanced line:
An unbalanced connector
has only a hot and a ground:
(XLR to a regular guitar plug as an example but any combination, balanced
to unbalanced, will work the same)
Pin 2 goes to tip, and pins 1 and 3 are tied together and go to the ground. This will make any unbalanced connection compatible with a balanced connection.
