Jack plugs are normally wired:
Tip - Left
Ring - Right (R of Ring)
Sleeve - Earth
So in your case you need to wire the Tip and Sleeve to one 1/4 jack which gives
you the left output.
Then wire the Ring and Sleeve to the other 1/4 jack to give you the right
output.
Hope that all makes sense?

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Zoom H4, ECM 957 wiring
Hello
I am a newbie to nature sound recording and have been following the
forum for a while - a big thanks for all of you there for the
information and advice - I have learnt a great deal from this forum.
I use a Zoom H4 and I have recently acquired a Sony ECM MS957. The mic
came with 5pin XLR to 3.5mm minijack. Now, H4 does not have 3.5mm line
input. I know of the soundprofessional' s adapter, but at the moment I
wont be able to buy it form the US (I am based in India). I thought of
connecting the ECM957's minijack to a stereo female socket which
further branches into two mono TS 1/4 connectors that plugs into
unbalanced TRS input of the H4.
The way I have wired it is the tip and ring of ECM 957 goes to the
tips of 1/4 plugs and the sleeve of 957 goes to the sleeves of 1/4 TS
connectors.
I am a newbie to electronic too. Have I done it the right way? With
this setup am I recording stereo or merely two channels? Or should I
wire up 5pin XLR female to two 3pin XLR male. Please advice
With many thanks in advance.
