Try to put the XLR in to a small vice before doing the soldering of your wires. Make sure you have put the XLR cover on before you start the soldering. Wait till the soldering iron is hot then apply some solder to the wires, this is called tinning your wire. Then solder the wires in to the XLR fitting, if it starts to get too hot, stop for a time to cool down. It’s very easy to melt the plug with too much heat. Keep the wire very still in the operation or you will get a dry joint, this will not last long and can give a bad sound. The solder must have gone hard before you can move the wire, it’s about 15 seconds. Test the XLR with your multi meter to see if it’s all on the right places and no pins shorting out then put the cover back on. So that’s how to wire up XLR plugs. Now you are ready to put your new disco wire it to action.
