When selecting and setting up a room for your home studio, your goal should be to use a room that's as neutral as possible. When recording, you want what you record to be the best representation of what is being played. That being said, you also want a room that's accurate when you're mixing and listening. A room that's neutral is very important. You want to minimize recording the room itself, and when you're mixing, you don't want to be mixing to compensate for the room.  Many times, with poor acoustics, you'll get a lot of reflections in your recording that distract from the material at hand.

Standard applications use only three of the five conductors: a ground wire, and a balance pair of conductors that carry a +5 volt signal.   Some proprietary applications, such as phantom-powered foot switch controllers, use the spare pins for direct cur...
