Default 3 pin DIN usage

I have a mono amplifier with a standard 3 pin DIN input socket where neither pin 2 or pin3 has been connected - just the socket earth and pin 1 have been connected to chassis.

Which pin should I connect to keep to DIN interconnection thinking please?

Default Re: 3 pin DIN usage

The conventional wiring on an amplifier would be

Pin 1 Record signal output (or not connected)
Pin 2 Ground
Pin 3 Input

At least for line-level-ish connections.
