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).
