Re: [xl7] Re: Balanced cables

You're right.  I was thinking of the subs as balanced, only cause they 
used a T/R/S set up, not because the output ground signal is actually 
being cancelled by thaa third line.  My bad.  :)

I am sure that the sub outs are not balanced. The sub outs 
are "insert" send returns. These have tip as hot, ring as return, and 
sleeve as ground. Plugging a balanced cable from this into your mixer 
could cause problems. The ring will proboably pick up whatever noise 
is around and send that to both the input on the mixer and the main 
outs on the xl-7. You may get lucky and not notice anything, but it 
is not good parctice. For the sub outs either use an insert cable or 
an unbalanced cable for best results.
