Further to my post just now, by the way, the XLR shell of pro gear is
normally bonded to safety ground, NOT audio ground, so touching the
connectors puts the user in contact with safety ground only.


** Complete Crapology.

The other end of the SAME lead is not connected to any safety ground.

Of course it is, if it follows decent professional practice.

Shame about the massively WIDESPREAD use of jack plugs connectors !!!

So, what's your point? The barrel of a jack plug should be connected to
safety ground, and the equipment, if fitted with jack sockets shouldn't
offer a ground-lift option. Alternatively, jack sockets where the barrel
is insulated from safety ground, and connected to audio ground only. In
this case, a ground-lift can be provided.

**** OFF - IDIOT .
