[sudo-discuss] Re: How to make a Mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable?

Hi all, I've been trying to find a Mini-XLR Female to 3.5mm Female adapter but I haven't been able to find one. There were a few on Amazon but the reviews all said the left and right audio were reversed... My current idea is to instead purchase a Mini-XLR Female replacement head and solder on a 3.5mm Female head with attached cable. But I see different cable styles attached to the 3.5mm, there is a 2 cable version and also 3 cable version? And it sounds like this is Mono vs Stereo? But the XLR talks about "Ground, Hot, and Cold" and I can't tell how this maps onto the 3.5mm cabling? If we have any people knowledgeable about audio cabling would love help untangling this mystery, thanks!
