Question Acoustic electric XLR output not working...

My AE has both 1/4" and XLR output.
1/4" works fine but XLR doesn't have any output using standard microphone xlr cable. The same cable works fine with a mic.
Do I need different kind of xlr cable than the mic uses?
thanks

Sometimes these dual output, XLR & 1/4" require a dummy plug in the 1/4" side. Try running the XLR cable with the 1/4" cable plugged into the guitar only.

Does it need phantom power to run in xlr mode?

You are correct.
It works when I put a dummy 1/4" plug.
What a mess!
The whole point was so I could get a more secure connection with XLR that locks in than a loose 1/4" plug.

Probably the switch for the internal battery is on the jack plug. I know some ovations had this, and a secure fitting dummy plug was I think supplied with them.

Yes, could be a series circuit instead of parallel so XLR doesn't get signal unless circuit is completed by the 1/4" jack.
I bought it used and didn't see a dummy plug.
Anyway, I'm just couch player so not a big problem.
Thanks
