Could someone verify my power amp connection

Im unsure of these cables i made for connecting balanced outputs of my mixer(TRS) to my crown power amp in(XLR).



I wired them this way:

pin1=TRS ground

pin2=TRS tip

pin3=TRS sleeve



It works but i know from experience that just because something works doesn't always mean it's correct or not risky.

I googled it but i have a hard time understanding the different TRS to XLR wireing schemes.

Thanks for reading and any confirmation.

TRS=Tip Ring Sleeve.



You should go to the Crown website and download the specs and do the same with the mixer. In the US generally Pin 2 is (+)=tip, Pin 3 is(-)=ring and Pin 1=sleeve (common).
