Quad Din Connectors.

[Duggeh]

I've been doing some Google searching and also on diyaudio but I can't seem to find a nice answer to which pins are connected to what on Quad 5-pin and 4-pin DIN interconnects. Anyone here know?

I found [ame=http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conector_DIN]this[/ame] on the Spanish Wiki for the 5 pins DIN, which meets my previous experience with those connectors. Many moons ago I also had a microphone using a 3 pins connector into a recording machine.

I'll translate the numbers assignation:

3 Left channel "out" (I suppose it means -) / Mono

5 Right channel "out" (stereo use only)

2 Ground

4 Right channel "in" (I suppose it means +) (just used in stereo)

1 Left channel "in" / Mono

My wild guess is that the 4 pins connection in stereo just skips the ground pole. I didn't found information about it.

I suppose that Quad sticks to the normal DIN configuration. Maybe contacting them to confirm the point is your best bet. Good luck.

Haven't used din in years. Not since my last piece of Naim gear.
