Q: 3. I am wondering about the output spec on the 1/8" connector on this receiver. Sennheiser's own website is useless (also manuals) in terms of actual spec. B&H says this is TRS 1/8" unbalanced line level. However unbalanced is normally 2 conductor (TS) and not 3 conductor (TRS). I want to connect this to a mixer and so want to make sure I have the right pinout and am not playing guess and check. Can someone tell me the actual physical/electrical spec?

A: It is an unballanced connection with a standard 3.5mm plug that will work with anything that will accept 3.5mm (except things wired for Sony). The tip is hot and the sleeve and ring are shorted together for the sheild If you are looking to get into a mixer I assume an XLR might be a better option.
