Shure M91ED hook up question

[justrideit]

I am confused about which colored wires go where on this cart.

Looking at the prongs, with the cart in the headshell, the lowest one is marked RO

The next up is G

Then R

The uppermost is marked L

seems like

RO = ?
G = green
R = red
L = ?

OK, I figured it out. I went here

As you probably figured out, "RO" is actually "RG" and stands for Right Ground. Then there is Left Ground, Right (Pos.) and Left (Pos.). The color code for the positive wires follows the same code as the RCA leads, Red = Right and White = Left. I always think of Christmas to remember that Red goes with the Green ground wire. That leaves only blue so that must be the Left ground.

Hey, that is a good way to remember!

Thanks,

The M91ED connecting pins are not color coded,so it's easy to forget.

No, but they're marked. All you need to remember is the color code of the wires. For a way to memorize that, see post #3 above.

Another thing I sometimes do so that I don't have to tax my tired old eyes is to mark the ends of the pins with colored sharpies, leaving the left signal (pos.) unmarked.
