RE: [xl7] Re: I got the hum

If i connect a balanced connector into one of the sub-outs, and then connect it to a balanced input in my mixer, will it just work as a normal unbalanced signal?

I only ask this becuase I know the XL-7 has 'intelligent' connectors (ie. it knows when something is connected to it's sub-outs), and i also know that a stereo jack is used for the send/return path on the sub-outs.

(I'm just about to buy a load of cables for my xl-7 and i will get all stereo connectors if it will work ok - just because the stereo ones are only slightly more expensive than mono and i will be able to use them for other stuff later as well).

On the xl-7 the main outs are balanced but the subs are not. Using
a "guitar cable" that grounds "ring" to "sleeve" is acceptable
practice for converting the balanced outs on the xl-7 to unbalanced.
